He tells Nashville's Tennessean, "I'll make two promises to country music. I'll be here as long as you want me, and I won't linger around too long when you don't want me anymore." Darius celebrated the release of his second country album, Charleston, South Carolina 1966 with a performance on ABC's Good Morning America yesterday. GRAND OLE OPRY: In The Pink The Judds turn the Grand Ole Opry pink Friday night to raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer. Helping flip the switch are Fox news anchor Greta Van Sustern and actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, along with Joey and Rory, Marty Stuart and John Anderson. Mention "Opry Pink" when you order tickets and $5 will go to Women Rock for the Cure and Susan G. Koman for the Cure. |
