Country Dreams - Where Yesterdays Legends Meet Tomorrows Top Stars...Today

For years, Ronnie Lee Hurst and I hosted the Country Dreams radio show, highlighting the independent artists and songwriters that normal radio shows would not play.

We also played the legends that were kicked to the curb and couldn’t get played anymore. We mixed in today’s chart toppers and created a show that had something for everyone.

After a long hiatus, I’m feeling the urge to bring it back again. My beautiful wife Chastity Shephard and I are searching for new music that deserves to be heard. STAY TUNED!

A question for all of my friends. I’m kicking around the idea of resurrecting my Country Dreams radio show, to once again allow those neglected by country radio to be heard.

If you were inclined to tune into an internet radio show, what day of the week and time of day would be best?

Thanks for your input!

Ten years ago, when I was President of the Independent Country Music Association and host of the Country Dreams radio show, I asked this question. Now I want to see how the answers have changed. This is for both listeners and artists (let us know which you are).

What is your favorite live music bar in Nashville?

Hey, to all my musician friends out there, I just got done jotting down some lyrics for a Christian song that popped into my head. Anyone want to take a stab at putting them to music?
