Jeannie Seely Official Internet Home Page. March 2. 01. 7Hi Everybody.. Welcome to the Jeannie Seely, late as usual, Website Message! I was so in hopes that I would get this done while Ron Harman was out of town so that I could surprise him but.. Actually though, whenever I finally get it done, it always surprises him! It has been an amazing 2. We kicked the New Year off with my CD "Written In Song" and it is such an exciting ride. The CD is a collection of songs that I have written through the years, most of them were recorded by other artists and I had never done them myself. My thought was to not only record the songs, but to pay tribute to and honor the incredible artists who had recorded them.. I cannot thank all of those talented people who contributed to this album enough for their time, patience and enthusiasm! I have jokingly said that a project of this significance is like having children.. Official page for the long-time member of the Grand Ole Opry, with discography, show dates, and photos. Exclusive interviews, up-to-date news, videos and podcasts for country music fans across the globe. Porkchop’s Catch of the Week. Brought to you by Go Fish! With three well stocked lakes, Go Fish! is a great place to take the entire family for a day of fishing. But I am very proud of the results and grateful that I could accomplish it. The release party earlier this year on January 1. I was determined that the work was done and it was time to celebrate.. Many thanks to the folks at 3rd & Lindsley for their hospitality, Springer Mountain Farms for their generosity, Vibe Productions for giving us a wonderful video of the entire show.. My focus then turned to the Country Family Reunion Cruise.. I know, tough job huh?! What a great cruise it was, sharing the stage with some of my favorite fellow artists and spending time with so many great and loyal country music fans. The weather was perfect and no one got sick.. Of course the only shadow over all of this was the fact that it was tax time!!! But after many frustrating days, Gene and I finally got ours together and off to the accountant.. Hallelujah!!! Now, I guess I should go back and provide a wrap- up of last year, but I just had to share the excitement I have for all that has been happening for me!! I do know how blessed I am. We started the year by adding a new member to our family! We adopted a small calico cat whose 'mother' had to go into hospice care and was looking for a home where she would continue to be loved and cared for. Gene had never had a cat, so I thought he should get to name her. So he named her "Corrie". Evidently this kitty took that to mean she was his.. I'm pretty much the utility person in charge of clean dishes, litter box, and fresh water.. Gene is the one she follows from room to room and who she sits by waiting for treats! So far I think it's working..Then we were off flying to Denver early last year to tape The Joey Canyon TV Show..Colorado in January but ended up with warmer weather there than we had in Nashville!The people were so wonderful to work with.. Monte Vista High School Baseball Danville Ca Police . Joey, his band, and all of the staff. We hope you have enjoyed the shows. Another great experience was being asked to speak at a Leadership in Music Luncheon.. I was honored and really did enjoy the event. February found us running and playing with family and friends.. Phoenix for my great nephew Cole Seely's Supercross Race. It's always fun to see our whole family come together to cheer him on! And besides.. my brother Bernie and all his family are good cooks!! March was time to seriously get started working on the new CD.. Studio to record. I'm so fortunate to work with such amazing musicians every week and that made the transition to the recording studio so much easier. We recorded at Hilltop Studios with John Nicholson where I've done so much of my work.. I'm very comfortable there and I like that it is one of the oldest independent studios still operating in Nashville.. Marty Stuart and Connie Smith came in and sang with me on "Senses" which Connie recorded first in 1. While we were there Marty shared with us that this was where he first met Johnny Cash.. I was thrilled also when I saw Marty carrying in two guitars to play on the session. He said, "I just wanted to make this a little more special for you Seely, so I brought these from the museum.. Mother Maybelle Carter's and the other was Hank Williams Sr.'s!!!! I love my friends. Another highlight of the recording process was Kenny Sears and Tess Sears singing harmony with me on "Leavin' and Sayin' Goodbye".. Dawn Sears who did such a great job on that song. My special thanks also to Jessi Colter for putting her voice on "We're Still Hangin' In There Ain't We Jessi".. Jan Howard for not only her harmony, but for her 'heartfelt' ad lib.. Of course May found us traveling on our annual trip to Las Vegas for the World Championship Supercross Races. However, some of you might remember they had torrential rains there.. Sam Boyd Stadium were impassable. So we turned around and went back to the RV Park and watched it on TV.. I got his race jersey!!! I brought it home, washed the mud out, and wore it on the Grand Ole Opry that next weekend!! Later that month we worked the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota, and met some wonderful new friends there, Harvey and Peggy Kelley. The bad part was, Gene and I both got the stomach flu and had to fly home so very sick! We had one day to get over it, then the next day we taped the Merle Haggard Tribute Show for Country's Family Reunion. I still haven't seen the show although I know how good it was because I still remember how weak I was!! A couple weeks later we flew to San Antonio to work the 1. Street Bar in Bandera, Texas. I was so excited because I had been wanting to go there.. I want to go back! It is such a unique town, some of the friendliest people I've ever met, including the bar owners James Mc. Groarty and Stella. Gene and I decided we'd just like to go down there and hang out.. Even though the work was fun.. Johnny Lee!! June was pretty busy with the R. O. P. E. Show and all the festivities of CMA Fest.. CD finalizing all the cover designs, manufacturing etc. My heart overflows with gratitude to Eddie Bayers for stepping in and having his company master it for me.. I'm not good at.. I'm so glad he is!! And as always I'm at the Opry whenever I'm home, so that was the time it was getting into full swing for the summer. Tim Atwood and I did one of our concerts in Terre Haute, Indiana, and what a fun trip that was.. Our show is so relaxed and off the cuff we're always glad when the fans say it's very relaxing to them as well. And the following week, we flew to Billings, Montana, for a show at the Montana Music Ranch with T. G. Sheppard and Kelly Lang, Tim Atwood, and Kenny Mc. Clellan. We all stayed in this big lodge and had such a fun time.. T. G. might have another heart attack when he realized there was no TV! But Kelly saved the day by getting the Trump speech on her i. Phone and then we just sat back and enjoyed the Yellowstone River. Most of August found us enjoying being home and starting the advance interviews for promotion of the CD. Never underestimate what a good public relations agency can do for you.. I can proudly say I'm with one of the very best.. Kirt Webster and his staff are sharp and ambitious.. Brenda Lee and I co- hosted the Source Foundation Awards once again. It is always such fun to be with her.. I don't know how you can manage to be an icon, a member of both the Country and Rock & Roll Halls of Fame, known all over the world.. It is also a privilege to honor those amazing women whose work often makes up the foundation of our industry. To round out the month, Tim, Roxane, Gene, and I loaded up and drove to Tightwad, Missouri, for another Atwood/Seely concert. Such a nice little country venue where the ladies were actually cooking some wonderful home- cooked food! This is also where Teea Goans, fantastic young traditional singer got her start and polished her craft!! Just the traveling aspect of these trips are great because we laugh, talk, and sing all the way there and back.. We got to travel to East Tennessee and attend Gene's 6. Lincoln Memorial University, in Harrogate, Tennessee. Besides all the college activities, we toured the new Veterinary School and were totally in awe of this facility.. And of course we had some great food and enjoyed some great bluegrass music down in Cumberland Gap with Steve Gulley and New Pinnacle!! Halloween was extra fun this year. Of course I always dress up for the Opry, and this year I dressed up as a Springer Mountain Farms Chicken and Gene dressed as Gus Arrendale! It was hilarious.. I'm sure Ron has posted some pictures on the Photo Album page of the website! Then we changed gears again to get serious and fly to Denver for another Joey Canyon Show.
