Yesterday/last night was a lot of fun. My day began with radio interviews beginning at 8:30AM and ended with a welcome reception that saw me getting home around 11PM. Not complaining… I have a great job! But, it's a job. In between, I ran into a lot of familiar faces… Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan and James Otto were among the many. I also accidently walked into Taylor Swift's sound check. I abruptly excused myself… sorry 'bout that Taylor (I don't think she actually ever saw me! LOL)
I met some new faces as well. A group called "Blackberry Smoke" from Atlanta came up and introduced themselves. I tell ya, if those boys sound ANYTHING like they look, I'm gonna love their music! OK… just checked 'em out on MySpace… they rock! I'd say they were a cross between Jamey Johnson and the guys from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Best of luck to you guys…
The very sweet and very talented Miss Emily West made a point of introducing herself, and flattered me to no end by telling me she loved my music! I didn't realize who she was at first and it dawned on me as she walked away… I'd say she's down her home state of Iowa proud… nice meeting you Emily! …more mindless babble coming from me tomorrow… can't wait!

CRS Day 2
CRS
Ahhhh… it's CRS time again… Country Radio Seminar in Nashville when folks from radio stations around the world descend on Music City. It's a week full of interviews, showcases and a chance for artists to get together and hang. For a lot of us, it's one of the few chances we get to spend time getting to know each other a little better.
Last night, I did a taping for historic songwriter Ben Peters. Among his hits were "Kiss An Angel Good Morning" for the legendary Charley Pride and "Daytime Friends" for one of my all-time favorites, Kenny Rogers. I got to hang out with Charley, Ronnie Milsap, Ronnie McDowell and my buddy Andy Griggs. I'll fill you in tomorrow on all the "goings-ons" tonight.

Chart Country Voting
Hey everyBuddy,
Buddy’s new single “Somebody Who Would Die For You” is now on the Chart Country Top 40 Voting Chart. The song garnered an amazing 80% of the votes cast! Woo Hoo! This is great news and is a tribute to Buddy Fans around the world.
NOW our real work begins!!!!
Buddy’s song will now be in the Top 50 and we can vote each week to move it into and keep it in the top 40 on their weekly chart.
Here’s how we can make that happen for Buddy.
Go the ChartCountry’s Web Page:
http://www.chartcountry.com
Click on the “VOTING” Tab…
You MUST vote for Buddy’s song and 9 other songs. When you vote you will see a results page which will represent the songs that are currently 41-50 on the chart…We need to keep "Somebody Who Would Die For You" in the TOP 40!
You will be able to vote in this way ONCE a week per IP Address. The song stays on the chart as long as it gets enough votes to be in the top 40… If it finishes out of the top 40, we will still be able to vote for it till it finishes out of the top 40 “3” times… THREE STRIKES and it’s OUT!
NOW here's where we can magnify the power of our voting…
After you vote on the web site, you can then send in EMAIL VOTES… Each Email Vote for Buddy will count as ”2” VOTES…
As an example, Buddy got 80 votes last week… If those same 80 people vote on the web site and then spend a couple minutes to email votes, that means that Buddy’s total number of votes would then be 240 votes!!! To show you how important these email votes can be… Last week Josh Turner got 240 votes and finished 3rd on the Top 40 Chart

Andy
Dear Friends,
As many of you have probably heard, we lost our dear friend, Andy Dalberg, yesterday. Words cannot express the sadness that I feel. Andy was such a great inspiration to everyone he met. On some of my darkest days, just the thought of Andy and his family and all the obstacles they faced made my troubles seem so small. Anyone who was blessed to have known Andy will tell you what an incredible young man he really was. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
I hope we all can take comfort in knowing that he is no longer bound by an imperfect earthly body, but rejoicing in the freedom of his new, perfect, eternal one….. strong and healthy…running through the streets of gold in heaven…. fulfilling his every curiosity about the home we all long to join him in someday….and if I know Andy, I'm sure he is already wearing the angles OUT playing "tag" all around the pearly gates!. We love and miss you already little buddy…. see ya soon!
God Bless,
Buddy
