i missed the show but i hear you. theres alot of that kinda music that is not traditional country. at least we got alan and the strayhorns.

hi, i just renewed my membership on the fan club website for the first time instead of mailing it in like ive been doing for the last 18 years. im being identified by my user name rickm. what happened to platinum member PL-724 ? i take pride in my platinum membership number. what gives?....

thanks for the instructions, im gonna start with getting pictures on my computer. rickm

hey, i really like the posts i read with your favorite pictures of alan and the nice graphics. how do you do that? im not a computer know all. rickm.

wow, its been a long time since i tuned my tv to tnn. i liked those shows also. sounds good. rickm.

excellent, have a great time.

hey suzi67, people kid me too about being such a big aj fan. i have his autograph on the tailgate of my pickup truck, and many alan tee shirts ive collected through the years. my vintage "alot about livin" tee shirt is my favorite. its amazing talking to someone on the other side of the world. thanks. rickm..

hi, ive been to 7 aj concerts , 2 that i had great fan club seats. ive also been to 1 fan club party in nashville. alan has been my favorite country artist since the first time i heard "blue blooded woman" on the radio. i was fortunate enough to meet him at my first concert at hunter mt. ski resort in upstate n.y. in 1994. they had a big circus tent set up in the parking lot and alan's tour bus was right behind the tent. there was very little security back then. faith hill was touring with him as his warmup band. before the show to my suprise i saw alan standing beside the refreshment stand talking to some of his road crew. i walked up to him thinking, "what do i say to this man i admire so much? ". i introduced myself and told him how i really liked his music and was looking forward to the show. i also told him how i grew up listening to my dad's old cracklin hank sr. albums . he said that "he did too and to have a good time". he later signed autographs at his tourbus door. gonna have to wait and see if he has any shows in my area. im overdue for an aj concert. rickm.

i thought someone posted  no more fan club parties? hope its not true, its a real good time.

hi, when vcr tapes were state of the art, i used to record alan's performances on the country award shows and any other chance i had to record him. i have a bunch of them. one vcr tape i have has a short clip of alan on a talent show. i think  it might have been "you could be a star". he looks so young, and alittle nervous. he didnt win the contest.  IF THEY ONLY KNEW WHAT KIND OF TALENTED SUPERSTAR THEY PASSED UP ON !! rickm.

hi, i just wanted to say how proud i am to be an alan jackson fan, and a fan club member for the last 18 years. thats all !

sounds good, i always liked creedence, me and my buddys used to play the song "cottonfields" over and over till the 8 track tape wore out. haha!...

i forced myself to stay awake so i could see alan last night . it was good although i was alittle disapointed jay didnt have any discussion with alan about the song or new cd.

hi, years ago i attended a patty loveless concert at the dutchess county fair in upstate n.y. i enjoyed the show and patty mentioned how important the steel guitar was to country music which i always thought myself. after the show me and a handful of fans stood by her tourbus hoping to meet her. the bus door opened and we all got to breifly have a meet n greet one at a time with her. i told her how thrilled i was that her thoughts on the steel quitar were the same as mine and mentioned the verse in alan's song "chasin that neon rainbow". a big smile appeared on her pretty face as she signed my picture....love, patty loveless......rickm.
