My job is to play hillbilly music for folks who don't know they love it yet.

U.S. Snowboard Cross Olympian Nick Baumgartner missed making the cut tonight, but said the classiest thing I have heard in these Olympics, "I've never had so much fun losing."

Thank you, Kathy. April and I have a tour planned in California and the Northwest this September/October and if we get anywhere close to y'all, please be our guests at a show. I'll hug your neck!

Thank you so much, and those coffee posts are just around the corner. Love this photo.

Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers.

I played and sang some earlier today, so I am definitely on the mend.

Family with me, so all good.

I will be getting back to them before long. โ˜•

Feeling better every day. And thank you for checking in.

Got out of the hospital in Albany yesterday, and am hanging at a hotel for a couple of days. My friend Scott Hopkins is driving me back home to N.C. on the weekend. I am astounded at the outpouring of affection and concern from so many. Thank you from the bottom of my (on the mend) heart.

An update... Beta blockers did their job a little bit too well, and I got in a situation of low blood pressure on the drive yesterday. We stopped in Albany at the hospital, and they admitted me to see if they could get me a little more regulated before I travel back in North Carolina.

Still in Albany, but feeling better.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl half time show was not in English. Well, neither are most of the operas that have been performed at the Kennedy Center. Oh wait. They hate those, too.

Tea-Dium. Heading back home today from upstate New York.

I was glad to have the hospital I had since I was a 700 miles away from the Triangle. ๐Ÿ™‚

Any other troubles, I'll make sure to head to Duke or Wake or UNC!

Thank you, sir. And thank you for the Amazon.

My new stent and I are being discharged from the hospital today. Heading back to North Carolina starting tomorrow. If you have to have a heart attack far away from home, Glens Falls Hospital is a great place to end up. They saved my life.

Indigestion, coughing, and profuse sweating.

Had a wee wrinkle out here on the road. I felt unwelI on Friday morning, and ended up in the ER in Glens Falls, NY, where they caught a heart attack early. I am on the mend, with a brand new stent, and will be heading home to NC soon. Superb care at Glens Falls Hospital. I really am all right!

Coffee Diem. Queensbury Hotel. Glens Falls, N.Y. The hotel was built in 1926, and is beautifully restored.

That would be very cool, but no it's ceramic.
