What a pleasure it was to talk with Ira Dean. The interview was recorded in August when Iowa was dealing with “corn sweat”. We talked about how he got his job with Tanya Tucker, I asked him about Trick Pony and how Heidi Newfield join the group.
Ira shared how he met Johnny Cash, his wife June through their son John Jr. So many great stories one that hit Ira pretty hard-a conversation he had with Charlie Daniels.
His current single was a tribute to his mom who had recently passed. Then he shared about this new song…Tel-Man!!
A special thank you to Lynne Connolly for setting up this chance to talk to Ira. I hope it won’t be the last. Also a huge shoutout to Ira’s label 8-Track Entertainment for this beautiful autographed Telecaster guitar!!!
Name the Country Music Super star who first recorded "Christmas Cookies"?
Join us Thursday during the Drive at Five for ‘At The Movies” brought to you by North Grand Cinema in Ames..
In Theaters this weekend: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’
Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.
