Before Jimmy Wayne set out on his long, cold and lonely charity walk, he took a look back at 2009.

He was one of the opening acts for Brad Paisley’s “American Saturday Night” tour. Jimmy says he watched Brad interact with fans and others after the show. He says he “knew he had to be tired, but he would stand there to the bitter end, and he would talk and he would give someone his undivided attention.”

Jimmy says that wasn’t all. Brad “would turn and he wouldn’t even get half of a step and someone else would stop him.” Jimmy says he’ll remember that, not that he’s “ignoring people, but that’s something you don’t forget. You see someone bigger than you still doing those things.”

I’m sure tJimmy’s walk for the homeless will be a very humbling experience for him.  Make sure to follow him on Twitter @jimmywayne as he documents his journey.  Also, think about giving a donation in Jimmy’s name to HomeBase Youth Services.

Country Music Tattle Tale will be making a $50 donation in Jimmy Wayne’s name to HomeBase Youth Services. If you would also like to help and make a donation in Jimmy’s name to help support his walk .  We have already received $175 in donations and we hope to see this number continue to grow.
