On Jan. 1, 2010, the singer-songwriter kicked off the new year by starting a 1,700-mile walk, called Meet Me Halfway, to raise awareness about youth aging out of the foster care system.
A few years ago, Jimmy Wayne did a walk with B105 and a group of people to bring awareness about teen homelessness. We posed for a picture with Jimmy Wayne. It was David Drew, myself, and Cathy Kates. However someone covered up Cathy in the picture. I forgot Cathy was even there! It was a good laugh when she brought it up this morning.
The normally polite and proper country music community is beginning to take sides in the drama between Eric Church and Blake Shelton. Jimmy Wayne posted a long letter to fans at his Facebook page defending both Shelton and reality television shows like ‘The Voice’ and ‘American Idol.’
Chances are that no matter what happens to Jimmy Wayne in the coming weeks, he will remain with a smile on his face and in the grandest of moods. Earlier this month, Wayne was sitting front and center in a Tennessee board room when the news was revealed that a new bill he was fighting for — one which supports foster children — had passed congress.
