"I’m a huge NASCAR fan so this is certainly something that I’m thrilled to be participating in," Covington said. "It’s also a continuation to me of what makes country and NASCAR both so special and unique — the desire of the performers to give something back to the community.

Read the full article here--and if you'll be in Nashville on Saturday, snag a ticket and say hi to Bucky at the one o'clock Backstage Garage Pass session at Sound and Speed.

After listening to him playing the guitar I purchased one and started learning how to play.

Buckyflowers, hi--I just noticed that too and was wondering about it right along wth you (not that Jedd isn't terrific, too...) You're right--I bet Bucky was mentioning Jeff Healey and somehow something got lost in translation. Thanks! :)
