After the awards I headed to the All Star Jam hosted by KUZZ. I performed "Do You Believe Me Now" and "I Will" with the house band. It was a bit rough on the front end because we never rehearsed either song, however, we pulled it off with a few scrapes and bruises. Kenny Chesney made a surprise appearance at the Jam and rocked the house as well as Carrie Underwood! The place was packed!
Speaking of scrapes, bruises, and Carrie Underwood, I happened to have a scratch on my neck. During my Orange Carpet interviews, every interviewer asked me how I got the scratch. Well here was my answer.. "I saw a bad guy approaching Carrie Underwood. I tackled him to the ground and only suffered minor bruises and a scratch on my neck". Carrie embraced me in her arms by the limo while cameras flashed. Everyone was like "for real"?? Of course after a few minutes I had to tell them "Na, it's a scratch that my drummer's dog 'TANK' gave me the other day during our band rehearsal" (for the Paisley tour coming up in June). They rolled with laughter, and most of them said, "I'm using that in my next article"... (whoa horsey)... So let me be the first to tell you that the story of Me, Carrie, and the bad guy isn't true at all Carrie is a friend and a very sweet girl, and of course I'd tackle a bad guy or take the wheel any day for Carrie if she needed me too.. lol!! BTW.. Congrats Carrie!!
May you always have
enough happiness to keep you sweet;
enough trials to keep you strong;
enough success to keep you eager;
enough faith to give you courage;
and enough determination to make each day a good day!"
He's a country singer who Carrie knew from back when she was first starting in the country industry when she just came off AI and was reportedly to have hanged out w/ then. They are friends.
I like Jimmy Wayne and had wondered if they knew each other - what I've read is he is another one that really does a lot of charity work for the kids beings he'd had a pretty struggling childhood. Glad they're friends!

I love Jimmy Wayne! He's actually from this area. My father is even pretty close to his brother-in-law (I think him and Jimmy's sister split up now though. But don't quote me on that.)
I'd love to hear a duet with him and Carrie at some point.
As far as male country singers go (I don't like very many. Most have very weak voices, to me), he's BY FAR one of the best, IMO. Such a strong voice.
