Seven years ago, I sat perched up on a seat at Bluebird
Cafe in Nashville while on stage in the row sat Sunny Sweeney, Danielle Peck,
Lisa Torres, and Karleen Watt. It was
the first time that Sunny announced that she had been going through a divorce
and showcasing the songs that reflected on the heartache and overcoming the
hardships. I sat there with tears
flowing out of my eyes realizing my own marriage at the time was failing. A few months down the road, I got out of that
marriage through a divorce. Oddly
enough, my divorce party was watching Sunny Sweeney on the Grand Ole Opry and meeting Little Jimmy Dickens (who has always been a musical hero for me).
