In my 35 year radio career I have had the opportunity to talk with many country artists. Charlie Daniels has a special place in my heart. He reminded me of Santa Claus when he was not wearing his cowboy hat. He was such a sweet soul who loved The Lord Jesus and was not afraid to tell you so. He was a great supporter of our military and loved our country. I had met him many times and when I came to KIX 101.1 the first artist I saw was Charlie Daniels.
This was the first picture taken of Charlie and I and my son Brandon. It was taken backstage at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair in Chippewa Falls
