Last Saturday night, I was thrilled to play in a round to help raise funds for the John Jarrard Foundation. As some of you may know, John Jarrard was a well-known and loved songwriter with eleven number one hits. The Bluebird was sold out and rockin’.

Besides myself, the other songwriters were writing greats Bob DiPiero, Walt Aldridge, and Kendall Marvel. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun, mainly because I knew the money would help the people of North Georgia. This event was put together by Bruce Burch and Jody Hancock. Also attending were a flock of North Georgians, along with John’s wife, Janet. This was just one of life’s little pleasures – helping out other folks.

Here is a photo from that night. On the back row is foundation representative, Allen Nivens, along with Mack Vinton, Russel Dye, Philip Wilheit, and Jody Jackson. On the front row is Kendall Marvel, Bob DiPiero, myself, Walt Aldridge, and Janet Jarrard.

Keep writing. – Rory
