excellent, have a great time.

hey suzi67, people kid me too about being such a big aj fan. i have his autograph on the tailgate of my pickup truck, and many alan tee shirts ive collected through the years. my vintage "alot about livin" tee shirt is my favorite. its amazing talking to someone on the other side of the world. thanks. rickm..

hi, ive been to 7 aj concerts , 2 that i had great fan club seats. ive also been to 1 fan club party in nashville. alan has been my favorite country artist since the first time i heard "blue blooded woman" on the radio. i was fortunate enough to meet him at my first concert at hunter mt. ski resort in upstate n.y. in 1994. they had a big circus tent set up in the parking lot and alan's tour bus was right behind the tent. there was very little security back then. faith hill was touring with him as his warmup band. before the show to my suprise i saw alan standing beside the refreshment stand talking to some of his road crew. i walked up to him thinking, "what do i say to this man i admire so much? ". i introduced myself and told him how i really liked his music and was looking forward to the show. i also told him how i grew up listening to my dad's old cracklin hank sr. albums . he said that "he did too and to have a good time". he later signed autographs at his tourbus door. gonna have to wait and see if he has any shows in my area. im overdue for an aj concert. rickm.

i thought someone posted  no more fan club parties? hope its not true, its a real good time.

hi, when vcr tapes were state of the art, i used to record alan's performances on the country award shows and any other chance i had to record him. i have a bunch of them. one vcr tape i have has a short clip of alan on a talent show. i think  it might have been "you could be a star". he looks so young, and alittle nervous. he didnt win the contest.  IF THEY ONLY KNEW WHAT KIND OF TALENTED SUPERSTAR THEY PASSED UP ON !! rickm.

hi, i just wanted to say how proud i am to be an alan jackson fan, and a fan club member for the last 18 years. thats all !

sounds good, i always liked creedence, me and my buddys used to play the song "cottonfields" over and over till the 8 track tape wore out. haha!...

i forced myself to stay awake so i could see alan last night . it was good although i was alittle disapointed jay didnt have any discussion with alan about the song or new cd.

hi, years ago i attended a patty loveless concert at the dutchess county fair in upstate n.y. i enjoyed the show and patty mentioned how important the steel guitar was to country music which i always thought myself. after the show me and a handful of fans stood by her tourbus hoping to meet her. the bus door opened and we all got to breifly have a meet n greet one at a time with her. i told her how thrilled i was that her thoughts on the steel quitar were the same as mine and mentioned the verse in alan's song "chasin that neon rainbow". a big smile appeared on her pretty face as she signed my picture....love, patty loveless......rickm.

hi, alan's career so far has been a well deserved sweet ride. i dont think it would be the same without the strayhorns. they are an awsome pure country band just by themselves, and compliment alan's great singing voice and songwriting talent.... rickm.

hi, for all the countless times ive listened to sissy's song and even played along with the cd on my guitar, the song continues to pull on my heartstrings to the point of tears welling up in my eyes. god bless sissy and alan....

hi, sunday night like most americans i watched the n.y giants win the superbowl. im from n.y. state. i didnt pay much attention to maddona's halftime show, but monday morning on the news they said one of the singers did something obscene on national television. didnt see it , but why? first janet jackson had a " wardrobe malfunction " and i think last year when the black eyed peas performed there was a crotch grab by a male in the group. now this. is this what america wants to see at a huge sporting event like the superbowl? let a top country artist do the show ( one that i have in mind) he could get the place shakin with a couple of foot stompin hit songs. and im sure his performance would be whithout incident.  rickm.

allison, i was fortunate enough to meet him a couple times early in his career. i thought the same thing, what do i say to my all time favorite country artist? hes a great man and very hospitable, he makes you feel comfortable around him. hope you meet him some day...rickm

hi,...roll call!  did any fans out there attend the 2000 fan club party? id like to know who the lucky lady is that alan gave one of his custom made cowboy boots to. what an awsome souvenir. he also gave a pair of wrangler cowboy cut jeans away that denise wouldnt let him wear anymore. that was funny. i had a great time and would like to go to a future f.c. party hopefully.

kellie picklers new cd "100 proof" promises traditional country music. steel guitar, fiddle, banjo. references to loretta, tammy. give a listen.
