Mourning my friend
@joebonsall
@oakridgeboys
. This photo is us sleepy-heads, up early after traveling to a gig all night. Joe was smiling, grateful, and praising God to the end. His impact as a person & artist on my life, & on the lives of MILLIONS, is immeasurable & forever.
Reba's wit and wisdom! Hear
@reba
and Lorianne Crook dig deep into the big "Rumor"! Plus, how Reba survives life's drama, and the magical stories behind her hit music. It's only here Crook & Chase: Nashville Chats with Reba!
Lorianne here. My heart is breaking for the loss of your friends and mine - Joe Diffie, Kenny Rogers, Jan Howard. Such an unspeakable ending to all of the wonderful times. Joe and Jan - I loved cooking with you. Kenny, you made me laugh & offered so many life lessons. Love 💙
It's Lorianne, to honor an amazingly talented, beautiful, loving human being - Betty White. When asked about her closeness to the end of life, I will never forget her answer. Betty was completely calm and accepting of life's end, saying "then I will know the answers, won't I?"
It is with great sadness we hear of the passing of our friend and colleague Bob Kingsley. He passed early today after a battle with cancer. Bob is a shining star and pioneer in radio broadcasting. Hard to imagine country music without Bob Kingsley. He was loved by us & so many.
Lorianne here - in loving tribute to Jeff Cook, Hall of Fame superstar AND extraordinary down-home cook. We shared a love of great music & good food. We cooked together many times at our home. I am among millions who will always cherish all he contributed as he graced this Earth.
Kiefer Sutherland kicked off his new concert tour tonight in Nashville with an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry ! I'm a big fan of his tv series Designated Survivor ! He was a big hit with the sold out Opry House !

Lorianne here. I was a high school rock freak. THEN I heard
@CharlieDaniels
. It changed my life. With his every breath, Charlie Daniels LIVED & kicked butt - on stage & off. I love you & will miss you, but your music and all the fun we had together will live in my heart always.
Howard and David, the Bellamy Brothers, Lettin' the love and laughs flow on Crook & Chase Nashville Chats.Their 45 year history comes to life during a laid back, hilarious visit with this legendary duo.
Lorianne and I went to interview Keith Urban today. Entering the studio we discovered Keith was taking a short break. Luckily he left his shoes behind to hold his place ! Before he returned, I switched them around...couldn't resist.....went well :) Fun interview followed ! CC

One of my favorite Loretta Lynn memories - celebrating her birthday backstage at the Opry with Crystal Gayle. I learned the hard way NOT to ask Loretta how old she was. She waved an icing-covered cake knife at me and told me to mind my own business! What fun! RIP sweet lady.
