Beautifully put, Jamie, God Bless. I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say that the trash-times - when you were horribly, unjustly trashed - are behind you; and some really good times lie ahead - really good times. Cheers brother!

If Carrie’s accompaniment track was sabotaged to make her or President Trump look bad, she definitely proved her mettle and spirit by banging out her a cappella version to the world today.

I adore her for her professionalism and willingness to take the heat.

What exciting project are you working on in Ohio? I know Robert Cooperman has a few projects gestating. I had him on my podcast last summer.

I am so glad we crossed paths on FAIR James because my theatre tribe has been mighty reluctant to be friends with me while I have been so vocal about my Trump support.

It means so much to me that you are willing to talk to me when most slowly back away once they realize my political views.

This piece was another glorious ode to America. And I thank you for it from the bottom of my heart for writing it.

Thank you, Jenny!! I thought Underwood did great. That was one long awkward silence...and I was jumping up and down yelling, "Sing it a capella!!" When she did, and then the choir chimed in, I kinda teared up. Brava, Carrie. I am currently guest artist at Tantrum Theater at Ohio University, working with talented undergrad and grad acting and musical theatre students in a production of THE PROM! It's been great--but COLD. :-). Wishing you the best always. --J

I was thinking “SING IT ACAPELLA!”

Great theatrical minds think alike…
