On May 3rd, the day before Randy turned 49, I saw Randy at WXBM Countryfest concert in Pensacola, Florida. He was wonderful. I waited through the rain all day, eventually it stopped. Lady Antebellum, Joe Nichols, then Randy at 5:15 pm. For an hour and a half, Randy continued to amaze me. The last time and also my first time seeing Randy in concert was Nov. 19, 1998. For the You and You Alone Tour, at Lakefront Arena, New Orleans. This time I traveled to our sister city to catch this show just shy of 10 years from the other. I have been a huge fan of Randy now for 20 years. I have gotten almost 800 pics of the concert in Pensacola. I also got a pic of Lib catching a part of Joe's show. Minutes before Randy took the stage. I was also fortunate to catch behind the scene pics of Randy fixing his ear monitors just seconds before coming on stage. At the end of this amazing concert of his, he autographed MY shirt. Although my efforts of getting meet and greet for this show, but the radio station had those rights that day, him waving at me upon coming onto stage, (I was yelling, Randy, I'm a fan of 20 years). You can see it in the video on Pensacola News Journal.com. I am also in a pic of the day, on the same website. Wow, it was such an amazing day. I know one day, this city boy who loves Country, will meet his mentor.
Just hoping I won't have to wait another 20 years.
With Love to all other Randy fans,
Larry (New Orleans)

Randy is going to be at Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, WA on 8/10. Is that close to you? Ticketmaster has been selling tickets for awhile now. I have also seen some excellent seats listed on ebay.

Dear Randy,
I was so happy to see your name attached to the Past, Present, Future Seminar. I have wanted to see you in concert for many years, and to mix that with a Christian evening was extra special. Thank you for being an anointed addition to the event. Best of luck on your new album. I'm sure you added many new fans to your list Thursday night. God Bless, Sonia

God bless you! Thank you so much for being a part of the Past, Present, and Future in Tucson Arizona, TCC. God's spirit was flowing in abundance last night and it was awesome for belivers as well as those who had not yet come to Christ. God used you to uplift the people and you did just that. Thank you for sharing your testimony with us, and it cements our belief in Jesus Christ. Your comment "I am not a good preacher", the scriptures were flowing from your mouth like water, that is all it takes to share the love and word of God with others. God was being glorified through you words, lyrics, and music last night, and many people were touch. May God bless you and your family always. Love The Mainhalls, Arizona City, Arizona

Randy I have listened to you since you first came out. I love your voice. When
I would hear you on the Radio I would say " That's my man." Once you were
on Sesame Street my kids started screeming" There 's your man" I am a Christian and thought it would great for you to get Saved by God's grace. I
prayed this for many years. And now you are a child of God. It has thrilled me
to hear your Christian c.d.'s. I would set and rock my baby in the woumd and
after he was born. Now he doesn't even like Country music. I look foward to your new c.d.

Yet another radio/phone interview. This time in my own state.

I first heard you in 1985 or 86 when there's no place like home first hit the air i was 13 at the time and in Dallas and living with my mom because they had just divorced and you and your music have help me get through it and alot of other things in life I have help spread your music as much as i can i sing it to kids and other people who have not heard it and then i get them a cd of you for them you have made such a difference in my life that i there is no way i could explain it. I love your live shows and i will always buy your music and movis and videos i would like to tell you more but i have to go. someday I hope to meet you and tell you more keep on making the music and loveing what you do and god will always provide listeners. thanks Randy for the great songs and memeories.

I HAVE EVERY CD U HAVE MADE. CANT WAIT TO HEAR YOUR LATEST RELEASE.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.GOD BLESS U AND KEEP U IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND.MAY HIS GRACE,GLORY,AND LOVE,SURROUND U IN THE UPCOMMING DAYS AND YEARS

My 6 yr old son loves Randy. He knows the words to most of his songs. I am hoping to take him to his first concert sometime this year if I can find one that's fairly close to home.

This is to the person who said that Randy Travis's fans are 25 or younger. I am a Randy Travis fan & I am in my 40's. This goes to show that he has fans that are younger as well as older generations.

i just want 2 say that since he's been puttin' out music,he has yet 2 release a song i don't absolutely love!my favorite is a toss up between I thought he walkrd on water & I told you so!keep it up randy!

To the person that said how many Randy fans are 25 or younger. One of those would be me. I'm a HUGE fan of his and I'm 16. I'm really NOT a fan of the music Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, or Keith Urban sing. I'm a Traditional country girl that likes Steel guitars & fiddles, instead concerts you can't understand a word that comes out of the artists mouth. Josh Turner & Randy are my all time favorite artists. Then I like Kellie Pickler, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Sugarland, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Chris Young, Martina McBride, Shania Twain, etc. I tell my mom all the time that I would probably be better being around back when Randy was first starting or before, since I'm not a fan of this new Pop-country phase that everyone at school seems to like. I mean I think about some of the HUGE legends like Eddy Arnold, Porter Wagoner, George Jones, etc. that people my age have never heard of. I just find that unbelievable because they were/are so great.

How many Randy fans are 25 years old or younger?

I couldn't agree with you more Linda.

As you pointed out the 4 years that Randy reigned on top of all the music charts.Was the top grossing artist in the industry,in album sales, concert draws, was the most played artist on radio, and on jute boxes and still didn't warrant "EOY"? I've not the slightest doubt that had the voting been in the hands of the fans as it was this year Randy would have been a 4 tine EOY award winner as well.

The fact that he was deliberately snubbed when he carried the industry on his back during those frist 5 years of his career has alays been a bone of contention for me too

Take the " career achievement" award. Randy has yet to be considered for that award . Yet he has been very successful in other fields of entertainment. Winning Grammys and Dove awards for his gospel offerings.

Then there is the TV and Movies.Some 30-40 projects all told. You don't rack up that many appearances unless those in that field of entertainment find you talented enough to offer you parts. Still no recognition by the ACM's or CMA's (which ever one has that award) for those achievements..

As for Kenny's comment, I don't understand his objection toward the fan voting either. It is THE FANS after all who buy the albums.Who buy the concert ticktes. Everyone else (radio) gets them for free. So it should be the fans who decide who wins whatever award.

Just wondering what you all think about this comment from Kenny.
I can't help but wonder what he is complaining about unless he feared he might not have won and how lucky he was? I don't know.

"For the first time an award winner at the function was decided by country music fans. The top award of the evening went to Kenny Chesney who took the top Entertainer of the Year award. Despite his four year sweep of the award, he said that the award shouldn't have been decided by fans and that the decision let fans choose the winners online was showing "complete disrespect" to artists."

First of all, i'm not sure, even though they let the fans vote, it really did matter - that's how little faith I have in that. But having said that, can someone tell me how it showed complete disrespect for artists? For years i've thought the industry were the ones who were off, who didn't have regard for the fans and their real wants or recognition of who should be considered an entertainer.

In 1990, Randy was the top grossing artist of the year but was snubbed by both ACM and CMA. Had fans had the right to vote in those awards, he would not have been slighted from not ever having gotten entertainer by both of these organizations. This has always been a sore spot with me. Call me bitter if you want but my guess is if Randy was even included on the list today, he'd have gotten his fair share of votes. And if radio had played his music of the past like "Four Walls" and "angels" in 2004 when fans requested and loved the songs, I have no doubt he'd have gotten awards or at least nominations.
Sorry, reading this just got me in the mood to vent. Kenny, I don't understand your comment. It is about time the fans have their say.

Always and Forever...An RT Fan

So far I have seen very little country in these "country" music awards. Makes me appreciate Randy even more.

I am going to see Randy in Denver, Colorado on June 21st!!!!!!

I shook hands with him three different time at concerts and got his autograph from him several times. but still dream of a meet and greet someday. God bless him. Betty

Hi everyone. I am from New Jersey and havr never met NO celebrity in person. I am the biggest randy Travis fan ever. I love all his songs and he's one of the GREATEST country singers I have ever heard. My biggest dream is to meet him in person. I truely want to meet him in person. I heard he is a TRUE sweetheart with his fans and I hope someday that my dream DOES come true of meeting Randy Travis in person. Thank you all for listening.

Take Care
