I only listen to JACK radio (96.3 FM in Nashville) on my lunch hour, so I don't always hear the "inside scoop" about this new radio station as regularly as "real" JACK fans do.

Fortunately, their website keeps everyone up-to-date... and now they're inviting everyone to come out and hang with JACK!

QUESTION: Who are these people waving at?...

ANSWER: Drive-by sinners!

One of the "off-the-beaten-path" roads that we took through East Tennessee last weekend was Highway 64. The road runs parallel to the Ocoee River, and when we noticed how close we were to this whitewater playground, we set out to find a spot to watch some of the whitewater rafters (in huge 8-person rubber rafts) and boaters (in individual plastic kayaks) maneuver the rapids.

The Ocoee River is known as "the birthplace of freestyle kayaking", and from what we witnessed on this day, I can see why!

Jim and I have both been whitewater rafting before (he more than I). The rivers we've experienced firsthand are: the Nantahala (NC), the Youghiogheny (PA), and the Gauley (WV).

You may recall, that we were eager to attend the Williamson County Fair.

In fact, it was the first to be held in this county in over 50 years.(...Perhaps now we know why!)

Following is a wrap-up of our much-anticipated trip to the Williamson County Fair.

We went on a VERY spontaneous road trip this weekend.

The states we visited in 2 days:

• South Carolina
• North Carolina
• Georgia
• East Tennessee

And these guys went with us: Pat Green (Lucky Ones CD), the Warren Brothers (Barely Famous Hits) and Johnny Reid (Born to Roll).
