The Pledge Campaign

Big opportunity - to help Wade launch his next project - a studio CD titled "Go Live Your Life." You can pre-purchase the CD before release ($15), purchase a digital download of the 11 tracks ($10). There are many other items and opportunities to be part of getting this project out to the public. If you use a credit card, items won't be charged until the goal is reached. For today the campaign has reached 93% of its goal with 26 days left. Surely, we can boost this over the top. (If the goal isn't reached, (not likely to happen) then no pledges are inacted and Wade gets $0.)

Already purchased what you'd like to have. Think ahead for gift giving. Who among your friends and family would like this as a gift. A CD personally autographed to someone is $25.

You Tube Addition - How Great Thou Art

Jenny Beth Willis with Wade Hayes singing How Great Thou Art live on The Lanham Brothers Jamboree in Owensboro, KY. Joined by Randy Lanham on fiddle and harmonies, and Chris Armstrong on Guitar. Wade is marvelous with singing harmonies with others (and even more so when he's recording and singing his own harmonies). In fact, when he first came to Nashville, his goal was to be a lead guitarist and harmony singer.

The Beauty of Music Interview

http://thebeautyofmusic.com /

This 20 minute interview was screened in June of 2013. It's a good video. Realize that at the time Wade was taking chemo for his second go-round of cancer. He'd had a treatment the week before this was shot and again the week after before undergoing another surgery in mid-July.

A PERSONAL NOTE

On Feb. 5, Thursday, I will be having open heart surgery to replace my aortic valve. It's capacity has diminished from 3.5 to .8 because of calcification. This is actually a family issue. My mother had it. My younger brother had this surgery 3 years ago. My other siblings (younger sister and younger brother) have the heart murmur that in this case is an initial sign. I'm a good candidate for the surgery. The tests I've had indicate that my heart is strong and undamaged and my arteries are clear. I will be in the hospital 5 - 7 days (the first two in ICU) followed by 10-14 days of inpatient therapy. Then comes outpatient therapy. I'll be able to drive in a month, but shouldn't lift over 3 lbs. for 8 weeks. I've whittled my purse (otherwise known as my 'survival kit') down to 2 lbs. 10 oz. LOL Followed by a period where I can't lift over 20 lbs. Now, how am I going to travel like that?? I'll sure find a way. I'm looking forward to more years of Wade-ing, and meeting more of you.

NOTES AND REVIEWS

The Courage Tour

Coeur d'Alene, ID - Kootenai County Fairgrounds - November 18, 2014

Michael Peterson, Wade Hayes, Bryan White

Good venue and an enthusiastic crowd. Michael began his section of the show with pics and narrative on tours he'd taken to perform for military personnel. He did his hits and some cover songs as well as a good rendition of I'm My Own Grandpa.

Wade performed, Good Day to Go Crazy and On a Good Night before remarking that he’d had a long face all day. The fiddle player had broken his collar bone and couldn’t make the trip. Wade was unable to secure another one at the last minute. He continued with The Day that She Left Tulsa, Don't Stop, Go Live Your Life, I'm Still Dancin' with You, and Old Enough to Know Better. Many crowd members were singing along with him. As they were for Bryan White singing, Look at Me, Ring Around the Rosey, I'm Not Supposed to Love You Any More and others.
To close the show all 3 came together on Glen Campbell’s Wichita Lineman and Steve Wariner's Linda.

Thanks to Susan Maki for the pictures.

Johnetta's Pub - Bowling Green, KY - January 31, 2015

We had a great time. It's a very comfortable venue. And what a supportive crowd! Randy Lanham and Wade make for a great acoustic show. Great music for sure! Some pics have been posted at the woww-pics site. Mine didn't turn out very well, so I'm waiting to get more from others.

WADE ON SHOW - TAPING FOR COUNTRY FAMILY REUNION - update

Wade worked with the Country's Family Reunion crew and cast for 2 sessions. One is a Tribute to Ray Price. The other is a Tribute to Honky Tonk music. And Wade says, "Just happens to be my kinda music!!"

All 4 weeks of the Ray Price Tribute have been shown. The DVDs are for sale. Currently, they are re-running their sweetheart series. I don't seen any plans for the Tribute to Honky Tonk yet, though they are advertising that they will run a new series starting the first week in March.

Here's the page to shop for videos. The Ray Price series is available. Wade's performance is at the 30 minute point on the first video in the set.

"A Place to Turn Around" - SOLD OUT

If you don't have this in your collection, you missed a real gem. ThatNashvilleSound.com listed it as one of its top 10 albums of 2009 - "the most underrated album of the year."

You can order MP3 downloads from iTunes and Amazon.com.

You can order an MP3 disc of the entire album from Amazon.com

In their review - "With apologies to Yogi Berra, it’s time to rediscover Wade Hayes for the first time. Place To Turn Around is everything that is great about indie records. Imagine hanging around your favorite honkytonk bar and hearing an artist singing great neo-traditional country music with acoustic guitars, fiddle and steel and buying an album at the side of the stage following the performance. And then imagine that the artist you were listening wasn’t some unknown band, but a road-tested Nashville songwriter and musician with many hits under his belt. That is the experience of listening to Wade Hayes brand new album" .. Read More

Video for Is it Already Time?

Get the word out - use your facebook page, your twitter account, your e-mail to ask your friends to view this video. It's hard to imagine that there's anyone left in these United States who hasn't had a friend or a family member who's faced this situation. You can tell them, too, that from the beginning Wade's odds of making it were poor. Now he stands on the side of good health and is rebuilding his life and his career. Praise God!
