Video Of Blackhawk’s Visit To the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center In Memory Of Van Stephenson

As 2010 comes to an end, it’s moments like this that remind us just how fragile life is. Blackhawk recently visited the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and the lab of Dr. Harold Moses and presented a check for $10,000 to support research.

The gift is part of Blackhawk’s ongoing support of cancer research in the name/memory of their late member Van Stephenson, who died of melanoma in 2001. In this video, Blackhawk’s Henry Paul talks about why the group supports research and Dr. Harold Moses explains why private philanthropy is so critical to cancer science.

The second video is a look at one of my favorite Blackhawk songs, Every Once In A While.

On This Day In 2002, Big Kenny Was In Major Debt And Down to His Last Dollar

I don’t know Big Kenny personally (except virtually through Twitter), but I’ve gotta think that December 31st is always a very emotional day for him. On this day back in 2002, Kenny was in debt over $140,000 and he proceeded to lose most of his last $200 playing blackjack in a casino. He gave the dealer a $20 tip and left with one dollar in his pocket.*

Obviously, Big Kenny managed to not only turn his life around, but he’s managed to entertain and more importantly, inspire countless fans around the world. That experience of leaving the casino with only one dollar inspired him to write Tim McGraw’s future number one hit Last Dollar (Fly Away). Said Kenny about that night, “That night as I looked down at the sole breaking off of my shoe it hit me like a ton of bricks, but with that realization came the freedom of knowing that I also had nothing to lose.”

Here’s Big Kenny back in Vegas at the Hard Rock singing Last Dollar (Fly Away). Enjoy, be careful tonight and happy New Year everyone!

‘Let It Go’ From Zac Brown Band – My Favorite From ‘You Get What You Give’

Zac Brown Band’s You Get What You Give is definitely one of the best albums released during 2010. Let It Go is my favorite track from the album, and I predict will be the next single released after Colder Weather. If you’ve never heard it, crank up your speakers, pop a top, relax and just let it go… Enjoy!
