I am truly proud to be an American. I have been able to live out my dream of standing on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium, the home of the Grand Ole Opry, and not only singing but winning several awards from the Christian Country Music Association. I have traveled overseas 16 times from Scotland to Siberia and all I can say is that we may have some problems in this country but we are still and will remain THE BEST THING GOING.
