April 20, 2012 - Wade's Birthday

IN THIS WOWW!
 

 
Wade Battles Cancer
 
Though tumor free, Wade continues the chemotherapy protocol to get rid of any residual cells. His most recent blood work has been encouraging. He will continue chemotherapy - 5 more treatments -  through the month of June. The chemo does affect his hands, feet and throat, causing them to swell and be very sensitive. That's pretty difficult for an entertainer. But after the swelling goes down, he's back to wearing out the guitar - until the next round of therapy. 

Cards may be sent (please, no gifts, Wade is adamant about that)

Wade Appeared at the Stars Go Blue - Colon Cancer Alliance Benefit
 
The Stars Go Blue Benefit was Wade's first public appearance since undergoing surgery for Stage IV Colon Cancer in December. The 4th annual event was held in the Ford Theater at The Country Music Hall of Fame on the evening of March 6th. Wade joined Trace Adkins and Exile to raise money for the Blue Note Fund. This fund assists those who have been diagnosed with colon cancer.
 
The event was created by four-time Grammy nominee, Charlie Kelley (who currently plays guitar for Jamie O’Neal) who is a colon cancer survivor. His cancer was discovered near the time that his wife, Nan Kelley (well known as a host on GAC-TV) completed her cancer treatments for lymphoma.

No Friends' Fest This Year
 
June will be Wade's final month of chemotherapy. He has no assurances of what he'll be able to do during that time. I told him we'd have a celebration Friends' Fest next June during CMA Music Fest week. We'll all miss it this year, but we surely understand what stress his body will be going through during that time.

On the 'Net
 
These sites have published recent interviews with Wade. Wade, usually very reticent about sharing information about himself, is on a mission to spread the word that younger people can get colon cancer, too. And that symptoms should not be ignored. He wants to help others avoid what he is going through. To that end he's openly participated in recent interviews. Hear his message, "Early detection saves lives!"

 PLACE TO TURN AROUND, WADE'S NEWEST ALBUM
 
If you don't have this in your collection, your missing a real gem. ThatNashvilleSound.com listed it as one of its top 10 albums of 2009 - "the most underrated album of the year."

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

Two cuts from the McHayes Album have been added to iTunes and Amazon.com
 
Wade and Mark McClurg teamed together for a short time as the duo McHayes. Their album, Lessons in Lonely,  was not released to the public. (A shame, really, there was some great music on it.) iTunes and Amazon.com have added two cuts from that project. It Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You, written by Trent Willmon, has Wade singing the lead and Mark doing the high harmony. The Wrong Kind of Right has Mark singing the lead and Wade doing the harmony.
