LETTER TO JOE FROM IRAQ VISIT

Joe Nichols received this letter from the mother of Marine shortly after his trip to Iraq to play for our soldiers.

"Dear Mr. Joe Nichols,

I just received a phone call from my U.S. Marine son currently deployed in Ramadi, Iraq. I have not heard that kind of excitement in his voice for a long time. When I asked him how he was doing he responded, “FANTASTIC!” He called just to tell me that you had played for the troops last night and then stayed as long as necessary to sign autographs and take pictures with him and the others.

FAN CLUB PARTIES SHOW CASUAL SIDE OF COUNTRY STARS

By: Craig Shelburne

During the CMA Music Festival, I crashed five fan club parties and I was pleased to discover a chilled-out country star at each and every one. None of the singers seemed in any hurry to get off the stage, and in a few cases, they played a couple of new songs that nobody else has heard yet. To a fan, that’s a golden opportunity and worth the price of a fan club membership. That, and a rare chance to get a photo with your favorite artist.

Joe Nichols didn’t have to apologize for his sense of humor - that guy is hilarious. I didn’t realize he was living in East Texas now. He said that since he got married, all kinds of things are disappearing from his house. (At this event, his wife strongly encouraged him to give away his favorite T-shirt to a fan that’s seen 100 shows.) He also unearthed some new material, which I think his fans will certainly find worth the wait.
