Tim
I've been on the General
Jackson lunch cruise 3 times in the past 4 years for one
reason & one reason only. YOU! Are you no longer doing the
General Jackson? Three of my girlfriends & I are planning
another Nashville trip in September 2009 & the only reason
for doing the General Jackson is if you are going to be the
entertainment. Could you please email me & let me know if
you'll be the entertainment on G.J. in Sept?
If you're not going to be
doing the G.J., where would we find you in Sept. 2009? I
have loved your show each time I've seen it & in the summer
of 2007 my husband & I & another couple were on the lunch
cruise & this was the first time they had seen you & were
blown away by your talent & loved the show & talked about it
for days after. Please, please, let me know where we can
find you in Sept.
Thanks for reading this
email & thank you in advance for responding.
One of your biggest fans!

My wife and two young boys (Zack 7 and Hunter
5) took me out today for a Father's Day lunch cruise on the General
Jackson. Unfortunately, things have been tough for me professionally
lately and I was not really looking forward to the trip. It's just been
one of those times when you feel like even God has forgotten about you.
Needless to say I started the cruise in less than a good mood.
But a funny thing happened. Your show started.
As I listened to your great music and humor a bit of the grey started to
lift. I looked over and saw my two boys smiling and laughing. The joy
in their eyes told me something. I slowly came to see that I have been
blessed in so many ways. As your show went on I began to laugh and
smile myself. Your positive message really struck home.
By the time we got back to the dock things
seemed much better. My worries and concerns are still there but they
don't seem as smothering as when the cruise started. I have a great
wife and two little boys who love me. What more could I ask God for in
this life. The rest will work itself out in time. I bought your CDs
and listened to the Gospel one all the way home.
I just wanted to say thank you and to let you
know that you helped make a difference. I had spent the entire week
praying that God would send me some sign that he was still there for
me. Apparently God chose to send that message in the music and laughter
I heard today.
Thanks for all you do and may God bless you and
your family. Mike
Hello Tim,
My wife and I saw your show December 2, 2005 on
the General Jackson. This was the first time I attended your show. While
in Nashville we went to the Pam Tillis show at Opryland Hotel, Grand Old
Opry and your show was TOPS! I bought two cd's of which you autographed;
one for myself and one for my friend here in Opelika, Alabama. We were
with a bus tour of 52 and all of us were at the show and everyone on the
bus tour had a great time. Your show was clean and family oriented. "Clean
entertainment" is still appreciated by many. Sincerely,
Ralph and Jane Cotton Opelika, Alabama
Tim, Just had to drop you
a line. Now we are back in the UK after our vacation to
Nashville. I thought my wish had come true when I was finally
able to take my Mum & Dad to Nashville, he has been a country
fan since old shep was a pup and I was even smaller, the wish
really came true seeing him on the General Jackson watching your
show and crying, he was overwhelmed at being so wonderfully
entertained in a place he thought he'd never see. He has battled
hard over the years against cancer but is now doing well, I will
never forget that look you and your fine band put on his face.
Thank you for a memory that will last forever. P.S. we visited
day after you had your mishap in your plane (guess the Lord
don't want you to swap that fiddle for a harp yet)

We were in Nashville just about a week
ago for the boat show and dinner it was our 3rd time.
we had a GREAT time - you were awesome.
We bought your 5 cds, just ordered
your vhs off your website, its being shipped to us..... we
would like to see if we could get another autographed photo
sent to us - you guys put on ONE heck of a show.
You have turned 2 people that were non
country into country/blue grass fans. We spent four days down
there and had the time of our lives. The General j=Jackson
food was so much better this time than the last time, was
enjoyed by all! especially the chicken and cobblers. If you
could PLEASE let us know a way we could get a pic of you
autographed. Thank you so much!

Just wanted to drop you a line
and let you know that my husband and I were on the General
Jackson lunch cruise back on October 9th. We were lucky enough
to be seated up front (table 3) and had a great view of your
show. We loved your show and after it was over bought all of
your cds, your dvd, and got your photo autographed by all.
What a great time we had that day! We
went back to our hotel and watched your dvd the same night. We have
watched it many times since returning home. We tell all our family and
friends about your great show and have them watch your dvd if they are
interested. You really do have a way with people. You give everyone
that good feeling while they are watching your show which comes back
over and over when we watch your dvd.
Just wanted to say thanks for showing us
a great time. You really are a true performer. We will be checking
your website and purchasing any new cds or dvds you come out with. Hope
to visit you again in Nashville in a few years. Keep up the great
performance! Jeff and Jane Zettlemoyer Fleetwood,

Dear Tim:
My wife, Daughter, and myself were on the Luncheon cruise on The
General Jackson on Wednesday, July 1. I am a two tour Vietnam
Veteran and would like to thank you for your kind words and the fabulous
greeting you gave me when you autographed the tee shirt. I would like to
be notified if you ever came to the northeast. (New England) Due to your
kindness, you made this one of my favorite vacations.

In August my sister and I came to
Nashville. We took a ride on the riverboat and heard you
perform. My father loved fiddle music so we bought him your
gospel tape. In the last few weeks of his life when he became
restless we put your CD on and he would relax and enjoy your
music. The day he died we were playing your CD. It is a great
source of comfort to our family. I just wanted to thank you for
the beautiful music. At my fathers service we played your music
in the background to help carry him home. When I listen to that
CD I feel great warmth in my heart. Thank you for the wonderful
gift. God Bless.

just wanted to thank you for the
recognizing "all" the veterans on Saturday the 24th of
September. 35 years ago this coming December I returned from
Viet Nam and you are one of two (non-family) who acknowledged
our service and sacrifices. From the bottom of my heart, THANK
YOU!! Charlie
Tim,
My
wife and I were in Nashville August 6th & 7th with a motor coach tour
company. We attended the Grand Ole Opry Saturday night and considered
it a good show, but we saw your show on the General Jackson on Sunday
7th, all agreed that we would just a soon spend the evening
watching you and your group. We were very impressed with your talent and
professionalism.
I
heard that you may be coming to Georgia sometimes next year. We look
forward too having another evening with your show. Thanks for a
wonderful afternoon !! Terry Wheeler Cartersville,

Tim,
My wife and I just returned home to
Franklin, NC from my Navy Ship reunion (USS Manley). We were able to
see your show on Friday of the week we were there. We left the General
Jackson deeply impressed with your show and the visit to the Jackson.
The meal was one of the best we had during our stay in Nashville. Your
show was the highlight of our visit. We also went to the Grand Ole Opry
and being as good as it is, it was not any better than your show. We
felt a sense of release from everyday pressures while we were in the
theatre and watching you. Your comedy is up to date and very good with
delivery just right. Your music is very good and we enjoyed it immensly.
You have one of the best bands around and please tell all the guys (no
gals at this particular show) hello and a job well done. We WILL see
you again when we get back up to Nashville, and if there is anyway to
catch you at Gatlinburg later, we will.
Thanks Again,
Frank and Martha Thomas
Dear Tim,
On Sept. the 9th, my father, Leslie
Lynch, passed away from a 2 year fight with Cancer. One of the
great things he enjoyed was his trips to Nashville. He especially
enjoyed your show on the General Jackson.
He would always suggest that My wife and myself
go and see your show. So 2 weeks before he passed away my wife and
I took a long weekend trip to Nashville to see the Grand Ole Opry
and your show. He was right, your show was with out a doubt one of
the best we have ever seen !! When we returned home we shared our
experience with Dad, and he said "I told you so" We said we would
be returning next year to see your show again.
On the last 2 days Dad was with us, he could barely talk and
communicate with us, but there were 3 CD's he wanted to listen to.
They were, Jim Reeves Gospel album, Alan Jackson's Greatest hits
and your Gospel album. As a matter of fact, your album was the
last full one he listened to before he left us.
My family just wanted you to know, how grateful we are for you
bringing so much comfort to a man you don't even know. You don't
realize how much happiness you brought to his final days with us.
God bless you, your show and everyone in
Nashville for the great memories you gave my Father.

We were on the
General Jackson cruise Friday afternoon. We can't remember having
a better time. You guys were terrific. We bought one of your CDs
and listened to in all the way home to Akron today. We caught a
photo of your jump/split at the end of the show. We enjoyed your
show. Nashville is as great place.

Great Job!! We all
enjoyed your fiddling at NRECA's annual meeting in Nashville. You
and your band made things lively and our members enjoyed your show
enormously! The meeting was very successful. More than 11,400
people attended and your show was the frosting on the cake. We
sincerely thank you!!

I recently enjoyed
the privilege of watching your show at the Gaylord Opryland during
the Mid-South Paint Convention. I purchased one of your CD's (the
only country music I have ever owned) and I have enjoyed it
immensely. I played it in my car with my two young sons and I
cracked up laughing when my 4-year old son said "Daddy this music
sounds like Texas" I immediately set him straight explaining that
Texas is for Cowboys and cattle. That "this here" music is from
the South, where heroes, family values, fine women, drink and song
and respectin' God-fearin' folk come from. I greatly enjoyed your
music, your comedy, your message, and the fine people you perform
with. You are obviously a fine talented performer, but one only
has to look just a little deeper to find you are a fine man who
enjoys his work and treats those around him with fun and respect.
You are a great role model and in these trying times---a hero.
Great Job and God Bless!

God bless you: I was proud of the very entertaining show, that I
was not ashamed to have my two daughters, age 8 and 16 enjoy with
us.....

We see you every time we're in Nashville. Last time was Aug 24th.
Great show, great musicians. Always come away feeling good.
Thanks for allowing me to take a picture with you. Bought the
video and loved it! You're the best! Hi to Robin too.
She's so talented as are the rest of Black Creek. We have

can put a smile on our faces. Thanks so much for a great
time.

I was on the General
Jackson today, June 6, and you had one of the best and

feel like she was special. kylee has a big crush on you.

Dear Tim,
Many, many thanks to you for your wonderful performance at our

on everyone!

Tim,
Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your show on April
4th, 2003 while cruising the Cumberland on the General Jackson.
I had not had a day off since the holidays and the wife insisted
we take a few days and visit Nashville as her folks had seen you
and recommended your show. I had a tremendous time and because
you are so damn funny, I bought your video. Watched it as soon
as we got back to our hotel. We are back in Indianapolis as I
couldn't afford to be gone too long away from the business, but
I will see you again. I had a great time - awesome band and
show!
Thanks very much !!

Hi Tim,
Just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed your show on the
General Jackson Thursday afternoon. It was great!! (as was the
religious song CD which we purchased) A forever memory! Thanks so
much!
John & Joy Stanton • Ithaca, NY
Tim,
I wanted to express my sincere gratification for the excellent
performance you and your band provided for us. As you could tell,
the audience just couldn't get enough of you. You completed the
perfect ending to a perfect conference...

Hey! My name is
Ashley Watkins and I'm 17 years old. I just saw your show "Now
That's Country" yesterday on the General Jackson! You did a great
job! My family and I used to drive from Greenwood, Indiana (where
we have lived for 13 years and continue) to Nashville, Tennessee
once or even twice a month just to go to Opryland and see your
show! It's too bad they closed the park, I'm sure Gaylord regrets
it! Well anyway, it was cool seeing you again perform because we
haven't seen you in probably 7 years and it definitely brought
back memories, and the jokes still crack me up! I wish that you
still had the old saloon stage! That was pretty cool! But I wish
you all the luck in the world because you still rock! My family
and I love you and your fiddle! Ha-Ha! Thanks for the
entertainment~ I wish I could still do my toe touches!!! Hope to
see you again!

Hey there Tim and
Black Creek,
I saw a show of yours in Opryland years ago when I was about 10 I
think. I'm 20 now. I never liked your type of music, but after
your show I was singing to a different tune! Thank you for giving
us such positive memories and I hope to come and see you and your
group soon.

Tim's wit and overall
