As a fellow Chelmsford, MA girl I can’t tell you how happy hearing how you two “made it” to Nashville to follow your dreams! Jacy Dawn and I were in school together and she was always so sweet! Candy, I remember hearing you on WKLB so when I heard you two would be doing these podcasts together I knew I HAD to listen. I remember Jacy Dawn’s admiration for Naomi and Wynonna so the first episode had me tearing up with Happy tears for Jacy Dawn.
I’m addicted! I can’t wait for the next one. Keep up... more
