I sure wish Randy would come back to PA before summer is over. Its been ages since he's been in A.C. New Jersey too.
Missing Randy here in the East

Not sure if you read these posts but if you do I'd like to know when you may be coming to the Columbus,Ohio area? When I was in the Army back in the late 80's I wasn't able to go to a concert when you were in Europe and I missed another not long after I got out. I deal with anxiety/panic disorder along with aggoraphobia so it isn't easy getting out alot of the time. At times I go months without leaving the house but I try not this get the best of me . I've been listening to your songs for well over 20 years and to this day your songs still push me through hard times. I'd like to personally thank you for those songs and the insperation they have givin me.

I have been a fan since DAY 1. What I mean is ,I've listened to Randy from the start. I have all his cds'. I've been to a number of concerts, I even had the luck of shaking hands.
Randy, I want you to know ,I'LL ALWAYS BE A FAN. THE WAY I LOOK AT IT,YOUR NUMBER 1 FAN.
Having brought back traditional country, is what caught my attention.

FAN FOR LIFE

Oh Dee, it probably won't even make a difference but i am truly a believer if you don't try, you can then be sure nothing will get done. It was worth a mention for our randy.

Being a huge sports fan I usually tune into ESPN to see whats going on with my favorite teams. Sorry I missed the opportunity to hear them mention Randy.. I agree, that was nice and cool. To be mentioned as one' announcers favorite country artist.Just tells you, you never know where your going to find a Randy fan The guy definitely has great musical taste.

Very Well said Linda, I hope you have more success with them responding and honoring your suggestion/ request then I've ever had.
It might ,make me rethink about renewing my subscription with them after all. :) Dee

Thanks ronda - I did just go on and send CW a note of encouragement (see below):

Thank you for including Randy Travis in your May 19 issue of Country Weekly.
As a long-time dedicated fan of Randy's though; I'd like to see CW dedicate an entire issue to him at some point in time as you have done for others. His accomplishments are many as I'm sure you know and it would be one heck of a collector's magazine for the true blue Randy Travis fans not to mention just the fans of country music.
He's soon to have a new CD released as i m sure you are all aware; I think then would be the perfect time to "catch up" with Randy covering all aspects of his career from its very beginnings on through to his next turn "Around the Bend."
Thank you.

As far as I'm concerned, with all that Randy has accomplished in his career, they should do an entire issue on just im from beginning until now like they have done for others.

I'll take what I can get but sure would love just one issue dedicated to just our Randy.

Hello sir,

My name is George Colvin, I am a country singer here in Abilene, TX. Originally from Oregon, I came here with th United States Air force and have been here for 7 years now. My father was a HUGE fan of your music and your demeaner as an unaffected star. That being said, I of course have the joy of know so much about you and knowing your music. You have so many fans you may never see this message, but you just never know right? So I thought i would give it a try. Just as my father I love your music, the story you tell, your life story, your religious beliefs and how you are so unaffected and never got caught up in transforming yourself to meet societal wants and changes in country music. Don't get me wrong sir, it all sounds great, but its great to see someone keep doing what they do and not changing theirs ways. The fact of the matter is, you never had to. You are a just a blessing. It may sound wierd, but growing up I sang country and having a deep voice and your influence and manerisms in your style that I kinda was molded lyrically with the same style if you will. NEVER would I say good as you my friend, but kinda uncanning since your voice and style is so original. My beautifful wife posted a short video cover of "Hard Rock Bottom" I did recently at this link http://youtube.com/watch?v=kGMyaLXFDiw . I hope to someday meet you sir even just a short converse at church or anywhere would be so amazing to me. I also write music and would ove to give you my work to look over. Al of my lyrics are coming from a christian aspect or at least the way a good person should live. Most of them are inspirational or ones which put your life and the way you do things into perspective. Fun stuff, even if I never get to make a record or write for others. Thanks for your time.

God bless,
George Colvin

I am so thankful that I found the "Angel" song one day while I was online. I would love to put this on My Space site in MEMORY OF MY MOTHER if that would be possible. I lost my Angel Mother on July 22, 2007. She was my Mother, and my very best friend. I am so lost without her, and struggle everyday to try and move on with my life without my Precious Momma. Ever since, I listened to this song for the very first time, I have to listen to alot during the day. Thank you for singing such a beautiful song. It really helps to listen to this song, and God Bless You For Singing It. You do such a terrific job. Thank You.

I know that is a private matter but i would like a clarification in my own mind if Mr. Hagee is your oastor and if you agree with his views on the Catholic Chuirch.

Hi,
i live in France, i'm a Randy Travis' fan since the beginning, i saw Randy for the first time in Paris at the Elysée Montmartre and i also met him in Nashville, at the Fan Fair in 1998, made a picture with him. I've always loved everything he's done and still love today and even more... I just wanna say that you are to me a reason to live and this world is a wonderful place when i see or listen to Randy, thank you for what you do and God bless you.
David from France.

I am confused about the time here in California. I can't seem to find Randy on GAC at anytime today. I don't want to miss this one. Could someone clear what time I should look for? I have been an admirer of his for years, back when he first got started. This latest song, "Faith In You" in just wonderful. I bought the video and got the song here for a free download.
Thanks for any help.

Oh yes Countrybug, thank you for the reminder.

Randy was different right from the begining for me. Not just because of his amazing voice. His ability to convey with conviction and believability the story of the lyrics. It was the kind of music that Randy choose to record that made him different. That connected with me.

I've been listening to country music since I was a teenager. I'm well into my senior years. So I've heard a lot of songs and a lot of different artists throughout the journey. Randy connected with the public in a way that few artists have, or do. He choose material that gave hope, made you laugh, made you look into yourself, that expressed fidelity andf love of your partner and your family. Those are the things that impressed me about Randy.That made me a life long fan.

He understood too, what it meant to be a fan. Randy remained one of us....a fan . Not only of those who he loved hearing, seeing in person or on tv, as he grew up. But of the music that he held dear in his heart.. He didn't sell out for hit singles, or to have more record sales. He remained true to his convictions.His desire to perform the kind of music he grew up loving and that his fans loved hearing from him.

Like his secular albums,Randy's love for the Lord was genuine and evident in his deliveriesof on his gospel albums. And again connected with the public.

Today, the number of registrants to this site is confirmation that the man, the artist, and the music, are still very much desired, loved and respected by all who appreciate what he represents as a human being, as a very talented artist ,singer,song writer and an actor..
