I’m not a big country fan, but I’ve been to a few shows, and I like some of it. “Wagon Wheel” is Way Up on my list, and “my” list is mostly ‘60’s-‘70’s tunes.

Great tribute. Love Country Music and the stories told there. Love the Grand Ole Opry. Great memories of that special place in our history. Great performance.

This article is a welcomed departure from the political realm so often presented by Steady. Wouldn't it be awesome if there were political figures to report on who show up as outstandingly as Darius Rucker.

I love Darious Rucker. He inspires me and kids right here in my area who are starting out their music careers in all music genres. He inspires me in my quest to be a better person and I am grateful.

It reminded me of the great interview Dan did with Billy Gobbons…

Especially the explanation of the origin of “Tush”..in the ZZ Top Hit…between that and staying sane during Hurricane Carla…with the big tree on the bayou gyrating in the winds.

Thank you!
