By Forrest SandersClick here for updates on this story ARRINGTON, Tennessee ( WTVF) - In the midst of CMA Fest, we have a very different country music story. It's still about a big name in music, but it's also about how a friendship is aiming to help others change their lives for the better. Getting ready to speak at an event at Arrington Vineyards Thursday night felt great for singer/songwriter Briana Calhoun. Surreal? No, that's not the right word for it.

Somehow Bunnicula has managed to come up in conversation three times so far in 2025. Then today…I look in the free box at work. Lo and behold. Bunnicula. It’s like he’s trying to find me. When I was in 2nd grade, a librarian thought I was odd for loving this book. Not sorry. https://t.co/lDc95Bh71T

With Brian Wilson's death, there's a local man with quite a tribute. Fred Vail was a promoter and later manager for The Beach Boys. I talked with Fred about the group...and also his collaboration with Brian, 1970's unreleased Cows in the Pasture album. https://t.co/3K8eP0uFEN

I just took the trip to Tompkinsville, Kentucky to work a story about Dovie's...the legendary 1938 hamburger place. That piece is here on my page...but I also wanted to share this. This is @NC5's previous story about Dovie's...from 1985. Thought you all might enjoy! https://t.co/FeCQQTDjfV
