TRAGEDY TO THE WHITLEY FAMILY

A sad day has fallen upon the Whitley family. You would think that this family has seen enough heartache through out the years but yet among tragedy has struck. March 31, 2002 (easter) John D. Whitley, 33 was taken in a tragic auto accident. John is the son of Dwight (Keith’s brother) and Flo Whitley. John was a musician like the majority of the Whitley family. Services and visitation are scheduled for Monday (April 1st) and Tuesday (April 2nd) The Whitley family is in our prayers and thoughts. We pray that the friends and family will turn to the solace of God during this hectic and traumatizing time.

Please leave your sympathy notes and wishes on the message board for the family and friends of the Whitley’s.Thank you!

PLEASE be sure and mark out ANY credit card numbers,etc that may appear on that receipt for your safety.  I'm, not sure what postage will be, but it isnt much at all.

I feel that this is his best collection of original songs ever!!! The cd also features the #1 Hit  "Where were you (When the world stopped turning)". The cd also features another duet with George Strait titled "Designated Drinker". If you are a fan of ALAN's or just love REAL COUNTRY MUSIC, then this cd is a MUST for all. The album will be released Jan 15th.  Stay Tuned to Keith Whitley Blvd for more giveaways, and lets keep supporting REAL COUNTRY  MUSIC!!!

The ride....

On Friday, June 22, 2001, a parade of rain soaked motorcyclists lead by a red wrecker belonging to the late Randy "Robo" Evans, left Sandy Hook, Kentucky headed to Nashville, Tennessee.  I guess it is true that Keith Whitley fans are not Strangers to the Rain.  As a solemn reminder fo the true meaning of this ride, we circled around the Elliott County memorial Gardens and waved to the "We remember you" banners that flew above the graves of Randy Whitley, Randy Evans and Billy Smith.  The rumble of the motorcycles shook the earth around the cemetery as we began to travel the symbolic path of Keith Whitley's country music success, from Sandy Hook, Kentucky to Nashville, Tennessee. more>>
