STORY BEHIND THE SONG*

*

According to T. G. Sheppard, he was searching for a great story song when he
found his 1980 number one, "Do You Wanna Go To Heaven."

He commented, "I was hoping to find a sort of gimmick record - some different
sounds inside the music - a great story song!"

Co-writer Curly Putman says he started writing the song at home - which was
outside the norm for him.

Curly commented, "I usually did my writing at the office and when I left the
office - I just turned it off. But the idea was on my mind that morning and had
a lot of the song written by the time I got to my office at Tree Music. Buddy
Killen and T. G. Sheppard were upstairs listening to songs and I saw Bucky
Jones and played him what I had. He help me finish the song and we played it for
T.G. I think he recorded the song that night."

T. G. Sheppard's Warner/Curb single, "Do You Wanna Go To Heaven" came on the
country music charts August 2nd, 1980 and made it to number one on October 4th.

It was his 18th charted song and his 5th number one.

The single was produced by Buddy Killen and was on the charts for 15
weeks.*

THE MUSIC BUSINESS USED TO BE MORE FUN.*

By: Jack Blanchard

Misty and I often did shows with Jerry Reed, Roy Clark,
Grandpa Jones, and Archie Campbell.
One of those shows was a week long booking
at Atlanta's Chastain Park Amphitheater, an outdoor venue.
It was Boots Randolph's show,
and he always treated the artists, musicians, and staff as honored guests,
with long tables of food and drink backstage,
and a party feeling that carried over to the audiences.

Before the first show, Roy stepped out of his bus
carrying a glass of unknown iced beverage.
Misty said "How're ya doin', Roy?"
Roy smiled and said "Gettin' well, honey."

The drinks never caused any real problems,
although a couple of times the emcee mistakenly tried to take acts off stage
before they were done.
They were innocent mistakes, and kinda funny.
We were all friends.

Like most amphitheaters, it was bowl shaped,
and the bands were pretty much protected from the weather,
but the act out at the front of the stage could get a little wet if it rained.
This can be a thrill if you are hooked up to electrical equipment.

We had just finished our show and were walking off,
when Archie Campbell was heading out to do his act.
I said "It's pretty windy out there, Arch."
Archie ran his hand suavely over his hair and said this:
"I don't have to worry. I bought the casual style."
He was always funny... on or off stage.

The crowds were huge and Saturday night was our closing show.
We all met back at the hotel
where Boots and his manager X. Cosse had us staying.
They had the hotel dining room set up like a king's banquet...
tons of food and anything you want to drink.
It was a party for everybody in the show,
including roadies and friends of friends.

For the first hour everybody was there having a good time,
except Jerry Reed, who was conspicuous in his absence.
He bounced into the room at about 11:30, said quick hellos to the gang,
grabbed a take out box, went through the food table like a lawnmower,
and was gone with the wind and his doggy box of food.

Jerry was on Fast Forward,
and his whole appearance lasted about seven minutes.
He had more energy than crazed squirrel.
Misty went into his bus and got his autograph when we worked together
at the Citrus Bowl.
We loved Jerry Reed, and he was also my favorite guitar player.

Then, later in the party,
there was some excitement going on at the ballroom door
when some medics rushed in with a stretcher.
We wondered what was up.
Roy Clark grinned, raised his glass, and said goodbye to everybody.
Then he made himself comfortable on the stretcher,
and was carried out to the ambulance and rushed to the airport.
He was late and had a plane to catch.

I've tried to reproduce the week's events exactly as they happened,
down to the finest detail, but remember,
I may have had a beer or two myself.

The music business used to be more fun than it is now,
and we miss all our old friends a lot,
but we're so lucky to have been part of that wonderful era.

VIEW FROM THE FRONT PORCH

By: Stan Hitchcock*

*

It is a heavily clouded morning, here in Middle Tennessee, with not a breath of
wind stirring. Looks like we may drive through some pretty strong storms headed
North to Wisconsin, across Illinois and Iowa, but that is the way it always is
in the Midwest in early Summer. When we get to Wisconsin the old River will be
rolling pretty high, but hopefully it will go down some in the coming days.
Denise's family will be coming in so it is always good to be with family. I will
give my morning updates with View From The Riverbank...and try to catch some
fish after the water goes down a little. I am still in a somber mood. I have
lost some good friends in the past few weeks, and others that are in serious
health conditions. Owen Bradley used to say, "When you find yourself going to
more funerals than weddings...you know you are getting old.". So many of the old
Classic Country Music family of musicians and entertainers are gone. Why, it was
just yesterday that we were all young, vigorously pursuing our music dreams,
believing it was never gonna stop. The downhill slope is never as much fun as
the climb to the top. But, that's the way of it I reckon...there is a time to
laugh, a time to cry, a time to love and a time to say goodbye...it is just so
surprising when time flashes by so quickly. Seems like the thing to do is, be
prayed up and ready for whatever life sends your way, cherish every day that God
blesses you with, always tell your friends that you love them, and hold the
special, good times close to your heart and fresh on your mind...always.*

*Stan Hitchcock*

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:*

Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the
Spirit who calls out, Abba, Father. So you are no longer a slave, but Gods
child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. *

* Galatians 4:6-7 (NIV*
