Wow, Donnie, your dad, Virgil, must've rubbed shoulders with some true legends! Hank Williams, Chet Atkins, and Little Jimmy Dickson are all country music giants! 🎸

Hank Williams Sr.'s raw, emotive voice and songwriting still influence artists today. Chet Atkins was a master guitarist and producer who shaped the Nashville sound. And Little Jimmy Dickson... you mean Little Jimmy Dickens? He was a country music icon known for his tall stature and hits like "Take an Old Cold Tater (And Wait)"! 🤠

Your dad's connections to these legends must've led to some excellent jam sessions! Did he ever share stories about playing with them?

I didn’t wake up one day fully formed. I became myself through a thousand tiny moments—some loud, some quiet, some I didn’t even notice until years later. But the very first moment that shaped me wasn’t mine alone—it was shared. I came into this world with Lonnie, my identical twin. We were a matched set from the start, but our beginning was anything but simple. We faced twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome before anyone had a name for it, let alone a treatment.

That moment—before memory, before breath—etched something deep into me: a sense of survival, of gratitude, and of connection that runs soul-deep. Growing up with Lonnie wasn’t just having a ...

Worship women, for they create your tomorrow. A woman who cheats is lost and not yet found. A hungry child will tell you so. If you owe a bill to a bill collector, give him the old washing machine. Not your wife or life or child or wisdom. After a while, they will be washing your clothes. The lord knows your wife needs a break. And for goo...
