In the country music world when something happens to one, everyone feels the pain, our hearts are saddened, we circle the wagons, and friends draw near. According to Baylor's Health Care Center Randy Travis is sedated and remains in critical condition. According to various reports, Randy is surrounded by his family and friends.
Randy, who is 54, has been under heavy sedation having undergone surgery to relieve pressure on his brain following a stroke. Randy has been hospitalized since Sunday due to congestive heart failure related to a viral illness.
This sadness hits a little closer to home for us, since Randy is a North Carolina native. Randy is from Marshville, a small town in Union County, just south of Monroe.
Randy's scheduled to release a 25th Anniversary Album this fall. The first song on the release is, "Tonight I'm Playing Possum", a tribute song to George Jones.
The folks here at Jerry Harmon Music are praying for Randy and his family and for their close inner circle of friends during this critical time. We trust in God's Amazing Grace.

It seems we have lost so many of the legends recently, and I am glad to hear Randy is doing better.
ReplyDeleteHello Jammer, Yes, we have! We all still feel the sharp pain of loss with George. I just checked the latest update (which was on the 15th) on Randy and it sounds as though he had made a lot more progress than the doctors or family could have ever hoped for, but still has a long battle ahead of him. It seems that life itself is the song his heart struggles to write at the time. All we can do is hope to hum along with him until he catches the tune.
