“As the father-in-law of a second generation police officer in Memphis, I know first-hand the dangers all of our first responders experience every single day. Knowing of my personal experience, my co-writing friend, Irene Kelley, shared her title and idea for the song, “Thin Blue Line”. We wrote it as a tribute to my son-in-law and law enforcement officers everywhere. THANK YOU for your service and God Bless all of you!” Jerry Salley
“Life Goes On”, written by Dale Pyatt and Steve Thomas, is a tender reminder to those who have lost loved ones that “life goes on” in memories. Jerry Salley, Larry Cordle, Carl Jackson, Rickey Wasson, Randy Kohrs, and Ronnie Bowman share lead vocal duties and are joined by a host of other musicians on harmony vocals and instrumentation. Life Goes On can be purchased from Amazon.com. For more information on the album, the festival, or MACC, please visit www.bluegrassclassic.com.
