[HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY, ALAN!!!!!]

HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY, ALAN!!!!! May you be blessed with many more happy ones in the years to come. BHR

[MY WISH CAME TRUE!!!!! I have just ordered my copy of the "Alan Jackson: Small Town Southern Man" DVD. Thank you Cindy and the fan club for sending out the pre-order email notification. Can't wait to view this and add this DVD to my Alan DVD/CD collection.On the side note: Is that Alan doing a cameo in the video? New country music comer, Walker Hayes just released the video for his new single, "90's Country" and it's either Alan fishing from a small boat in that video or they had a real dead ringer of him there. You be the judge.http://tasteofcountry.com/walker-hayes-90s-country-video/And on another note, I found this article reviewing country music stars owned bar/restaurant in Nashville. For those of you who have not been to Alan's bar, I don't know that I will take this very seriously. For those of you who have, what are your takes on this?http://tasteofcountry.com/best-nashville-celebrity-bars-guide/Great weekend all!BHR]

[UPDATE: While our local paper hasn't posted yet the "almost " finished mural of Alan in downtown Newnan, I found this article from nashcountrydaily.com with an updated photo of the mural. I said "almost" because I'm not sure what else is needed done to complete it as the photo looks like it's already pretty much done. As the article said, it's supposed to get finished this week. If so, it may not get done maybe until next week unless the weather cooperates. We're currently having some effects from Hurricane Michael....stormy/windy weather of and on. If weather permits, my family and I may make a trip there this weekend and take a look at this beautiful mural and maybe take some pics. Click on the link below and take a peek at the photo of the mural. Below the article are 2 small photos of the wall. . . .a before and after shots. Click on them and enjoy the viewing the photo of the beautiful mural. Can you all guess where this design was taken from?http://www.nashcountrydaily.com/2018/10/09/alan-jackson-gets-new-mural-in-his-georgia-hometown/Love it!BHR]

[Somebody, thanks for the alert. Have it marked on my calendar. Wonder if they're going to make this available on DVD later on. I sure would love to have a copy of it. For those of you who are going to the CMHOF for the premiere showing of this, have fun and enjoy. Wish I could go too.BHR]

[I hope you all can see/read the article from the link below. Alan's hometown of Newnan, GA is honoring him with a mural that I'm sure will get a lot of his fans flocking to the location to see and take selfies. I can see it now causing unwanted traffic jam for some of the residents of Newnan. My family and I live in this town and has been for number of years, by chance, so I will not miss viewing it.....and, yes, taking some pics.....for the world. The photo with the article is showing the progress the artist has made with it. I will post here the photo of the completed mural when it's done. http://times-herald.com/news/2018/10/alan-jackson-mural-painted-by-artist-in-residenceEnjoy!BHR]

[Hi, Richard,First off, welcome to the fan club. I'm very sorry about the missed opportunity to see Alan in concert. I feel really bad for you and your wife. It's easy to say these things happens, but, it doesn't easily ease ones disappointment and feeling of sadness over it. Hopefully, Alan will be willing and able to put on a show in your country too to give you and your and your wife another opportunity to see him in concert. Have a safe travel back to Austria.BHR]
