When Jimmy Wayne strolls into Amarillo, Texas on Saturday, April 3rd, he will be halfway to his goal of walking from Nashville to Phoenix to raise money and awareness for homeless teens. You can follow Jimmy on a daily basis at www.meetmehalfway.jimmywayne.com or on Twitter @JimmyWayne. God bless you Jimmy. You're halfway there my man...
I love videos like this. It was shot back in 2004 at the Ryman by David Mills of FrontRowNews.com back when Jimmy was backstage about to watch Keith Urban play. It's awesome to see videos of country stars when they're first getting started. Jimmy was just a little bit excited, don't you think? Enjoy!
Yesterday, Jimmy taught you what 'Britches' meant, and today you'll learn about the world 'Yontu.' So, yontu watch it now? Here y'are:
P.S. In case you missed lesson one, I've featured it again below lesson two. Funny thing about Britches. As a kid, I heard this statement from my granddad quite a lot: "Don't make me have to skin your britches!" For those not from the south, that means, "Don't make me have to give you a spanking!" Enjoy!
Ever since last night's article about the upcoming Jimmy Wayne Mug auction on eBay, I've received numerous emails and tweets from readers who admire what Jimmy is doing. And, some of the people who emailed were not even familiar with Jimmy and his cause. Obviously, what Jimmy is doing with his Meet Me Halfway campaign is fantastic, but there's also another side of Jimmy that's equally great... his sense of humor. Here's lesson one of Jimmy teaching you about country slang, and specifically, the word 'Britches.' Enjoy!
I was approached by a Twitter friend the other day about an auction to benefit Jimmy Wayne and his Meet Me Halfway campaign. Her name is Julie Wehner, and like me, she has been swept up by the enormous heart and generous spirit of Jimmy Wayne.
I'm going to let Julie tell you about herself, her story and what she is doing to help Jimmy and his cause. The following message is from Julie.
Mug Auction to Benefit IHYC and Jimmy Wayne’s Meet Me Halfway Project
My name is Julie Wehner and I am a country music fan with a heart for those whom society has marginalized or failed to serve in a wholistic way. I have been a country fan for several years and last summer took a real interest in one young musician who has a heart more golden than any gold records that any artist or Olympic champion may possess. A little over a year ago his song "Do You Believe Me Now" went to number one on the charts and stayed there for several weeks. That song caught my ear and when I bought his CD there were certain songs that touched me. This piqued my curiosity so I began digging into his history and what I discovered endeared him to me. Jimmy, for all that he has gone through, might possibly not be here right now were it not for the opportunities and people that came into his life.
Most of you know who Jimmy Wayne is and that he is in the midst of his 'Meet Me Halfway' campaign to help raise money for homeless teens. Some may not know that Jimmy was once homeless himself. This is a great video from a recent Jimmy Wayne concert in which Jimmy explains why he's personally doing 'Meet Me Halfway'. If you'd like to help Jimmy and homeless teens everywhere, visit MeetMeHalfway.JimmyWayne.com. Enjoy!
P.S. Thanks to @SAPope, a great friend on Twitter, for finding this video.
Jimmy Wayne's latest single is called Just Knowing You Love Me, and it's a duet with the beautiful and very talented Whitney Duncan. It's currently at #59 on the Billboard Hot Country charts, and I have a feeling it's going to do pretty darn well on the charts. Enjoy!

Jimmy Wayne's star has been on the rise for a while now. Since you're a country music fan, I'm sure you know about his Meet Me Halfway walk from Nashville to Phoenix to raise money for homeless kids and teenagers. Jimmy's a class act, and I'm proud of what he's doing. It's rare this day and age for any public figure to actually practice what they preach.
Speaking of Jimmy, check out this video of Jimmy and John Oates performing Sara Smile back in October of last year. Jimmy was the opening act for Dierks Bentley and Brad Paisley on Brad's American Saturday Night tour. This footage is from Baltimore, Maryland on October 22, 2009. Enjoy!
On this day back in 2003, DreamWorks released Jimmy Wayne's debut single Stay Gone to radio. It went all the way to number three on the Billboard Hot Country charts, making it his second highest charting single to date behind his number one hit from 2008 Do You Believe Me Now. Jimmy co-wrote the song with Billy Kirsch. If you don't own his self-titled debut album, I'd highly recommend you get it. It's a good one. Enjoy!

This interview was from this past summer on 103.7 WSOC in Charlotte. If you've got about seven minutes, it's worth the listen if you're a Jimmy Wayne fan, a Carrie Underwood fan, or if you'd just like to find out what happened on Jimmy's first date with Carrie. Enjoy!
If you're not familiar with Live from Daryl's House, you need to check it out. Daryl is actually Daryl Hall from pop legends Hall & Oates. Live from Daryl's House is exactly that. He has famous musicians over to his house, and they jam together. It's really cool. The latest episode that aired live yesterday featured Jimmy Wayne. The video below is a promo piece for the episode. To watch the entire episode, go to www.livefromdarylshouse.com. Also, to keep up with who's next at Daryl's place, follow him on Twitter @LFDHcom.
The best part of Jimmy's performance to me was his "grand" entrance when he gets out of his truck. Enjoy!
P.S. If you haven't seen it yet, check out Jimmy Wayne's new video for Sara Smile featuring Daryl Hall and John Oates.
Paper Angels was the fourth and last single released from Jimmy Wayne's 2003 self-titled debut album. It peaked at #18 on the Billboard Hot Country charts back in 2004, and it's the perfect song to play during the holidays. Enjoy!
Look at Jimmy Wayne... He's partnered up with 80's pop icons Daryl Hall and John Oates to cover their very first top ten hit, Sara Smile. Hall and Oates provide background vocals, and Jimmy does a great job on the lead vocals. This song is actually the lead single to Jimmy's album of the same name due out on November 24, 2009. The single is already at #32 on the Billboard Hot Country charts, making it Hall & Oates' first single to chart on the country charts. This one definitely has top ten written all over it. Enjoy!
Jimmy Wayne's new single is called I'll Be That. It's the third single from his Do You Believe Me Now album. It's currently at #46 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. I think this one has the potential to be a top ten hit. What about you?
