[Monty]

Monty answered the question in posting a picture of himself with Scott and Mark McClurg doing soundcheck last night, preparing for tonight's ACM performance:

Monty: "I’m actually not doing this show... I came out to do Sound ck:)....I’m not Retired. I’m just not full time Road anymore. I’ll still do a few shows though."

So look for Mark McClurg playing acoustic and singing harmony with the band tonight.

Saw some recent pictures and video of the 2018 shows. It appears that Mark McClurg was back with the band, playing acoustic guitar in place of Monty Lane Allen. Anyone know if Monty left the band permanently (if there really is such as thing  ) or if he just took a few shows off? I know Monty has his own solo career as a southern gospel artist, so maybe he needed time off the road. Hope all is well with him either way.
