Toby Keith Tour
October 15, 2008
What can I say? How can I possibly put into words what just happened this past week? What an absolute thrill and dream come true. On tour with The Big Dog Daddy himself? I wasn't sure how well I would come across when I took the stage on these shows being the official support act but you know what, with an amazing band, killer crew of my own and great tunes, we really stepped up to the level we needed to in order to prep the crowd for Toby Keith!! I have to commend my band and crew for being so wicked this week. 6 shows of damn-near perfection.
Thank you so much to all the fans for coming out to the shows with signs and singing along to the songs! I wish all of you could be in my shoes for 10 minutes on that stage! It's a real life dream state, I have to say, that gives me chills and even makes me well up with tears. I've always imagined being a main act on a major tour like that and it's happened!!
Toby is one hell of a guy, folks. He may be politically opinionated in some of your minds but I can say after meeting him, hanging out and talking a ton, I can tell you this guy is a gentleman and a man of the people! I already respected him but now I really feel Toby is one of the most down-to-earth artists I've met.
Thanks to not only Toby but his whole crew for being crazy to be hanging out with. You guys can hang on our bus again anytime!!
Well, now it looks as though I'm off to Egypt for a 2 week or so trip to play for the military stationed there! I'm stoked for the trip but mostly to put a smile on the faces of the troops that have missed out a bit on the entertainment that we take advantage of here in Canada.
It looks as though our chances of getting to see each other will be New Years Eve which we don't know where it will be yet but we'll keep you posted!!
I hope you all have enjoyed your "Thankful" cd's and spread the word about it!!! The new single is out as of this week called "How Do I Get There" which I hope you all love as much as I do!! The video is going to be on CMT right away as well. I have to say that this video is my favorite of all time. Stunning, is the only way to put it! Don't miss this one! Colin Minihan directed it and Cody Mielke produced it and hit this one out of the park! Killer job and I love your vision, Colin. You're amazing! The next goal for me and my team is to be doing an arena tour like that, of my own so please help us get there! Like I said I can't do it without you! See you soon!
I love you all!!!
