Happy 70th birthday to Chuck Leavell. It was beyond a thrill to play and sing “Southbound” with him a few years ago in a really odd situation. I was fronting a Wall Street Journal band for a Pre-White House Corespondent Association Dinner party. I still don’t understand the whole thing but it was awesome. You all know how great of a musician Chuck is and what a huge role he’s played in both the Allman Brothers Band and Rolling Stones (and many others). He’s also a great friend to many and has been an invaluable source for my writing, never more so than for my current book project. Sending you all the best Tree Man.

Naomi Judd, born Diana Ellen Judd (January 11, 1946 – April 30, 2022)

With her daughter, Wynonna Judd, she formed the highly successful singing duo known as the Judds. The Judds scored twenty top-10 hits (including fifteen at number one) and went undefeated for eight consecutive years at all three major country music awards shows. In addition, the duo won five Grammy Awards and a vast array of other awards and honors. As a songwriter, Judd also won a Grammy for country song of the year with the Judds' hit "Love Can Build a Bridge". However, after rising to the top of country music, they called it quits in 1991 after doctors diagnosed Naomi with hepatitis. That same year, Judd created the Naomi Judd Education and Research Fund to raise awareness of Hepatitis C, and uses the strength of her experiences as spokes-model for the American Liver Foundation. She continued to act occasionally (one of her first acting jobs was a small role in More American Graffiti in 1979). In 1999, she starred as Lily Waite alongside Andy Griffith and Gerald McRaney in the film A Holiday Romance.

In 1999, The Judds reunited for a New Year's Eve concert in Phoenix at the America West Arena, with her other daughter, actress Ashley Judd as the MC. In 2000, the Judds reunited again for their "Power to Change" tour, performing to over 300,000 people on thirty dates. The duo was nominated as the Academy of Country Music's top vocal duo of the year in 2001. From 2003 to 2004, Judd also served as one of the judges of the revamped version of Star Search hosted by Arsenio Hall. Judd was married twice, she had Wynonna and Ashley from her first marriage. Judd died on April 30, 2022. She was 76 years old.

Happy 40th Anniversary of Late Night/ Late Show with David

One Christmas had these dolls made up and gave them to everyone on the show as his Christmas present. What a tribute! (Naturally, everybody thought it was my own ego trip)

Thanks to Dave, Will and the band, and everybody who made that show such a dream.

Very sad to hear my buddy Meat Loaf passed away yesterday. We had the chance to rekindle our friendship recently at the Sixwire Christmas concert at 3rd & Lindsley Nashville. You will be dearly missed my friend!
