Daniels Remembered:The Journey Home
     Tributes from the country music community have poured in
following the July 6 passing of Country Music Hall of Famer
Charlie Daniels (CAT 7/6), with artists and radio and industry
pros sharing how the “Long Haired Country Boy” both influenced
and touched their lives and careers (see several here). The
outspoken patriot and mentor gave as much to the causes he
championed as he did to music, lending his time and talent to
charitable organizations and events including St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital, the T.J. Martell Foundation, Christmas 4 Kids,
Volunteer Jam and The Journey Home Project — founded in 2014
with his manager, David Corlew, to help veterans of the United
States Armed Forces.
