Dear Fans

Last year?s festival was a huge success! This years festival will be held on September 29th

We have started making plans for a cruise for 2007. The last two years we enjoyed the Caribbean during the month of January. The first year we had a group of 86 and last year grew to about 128. By popular demand we decided to change it up a bit for next year. This time we will be cruising to Alaska in the summer of 2007. Although the exact week is not booked we are hoping to plan a one week round trip cruise starting from Seattle. Dates and prices should be available in the next month. Those that came with us on the Caribbean cruises will find it to be very reasonably priced and hope you will be able to come on this one too. The itinerary will be similar to the previous years with two shows and two meet and greets. You must sign up with the Jimmy Fortune group through Lynette Miller to be able to attend these four events. When available the information will be posted on www.jimmyfortune.com and www.travelingtroubadour.com . You may contact Lynette at 1-800-584-6724 or sign up at her website to receive an e-mail about the cruise. For those of you who also receive our newsletters via e-mail will receive a notice when the information is available.

Many of you may already know that Tami Bird started making personalized ?Fortune Teller? name tags a couple of years ago. This badge has a picture of Jimmy with your name (and/or log-on name for the message board). People started wearing them to Jimmy?s shows to recognize one another. This has really caught on and some people did not know how to get them or would like a new one every year. You may order your badge by sending $3.50 to Tami Bird 624 Dutch Hollow Rd. Raphine

Jimmy’s first solo gospel CD

The first release from “I Believe” will be “I Wrote It In Red”. The single has already been sent to gospel radio so call and request it today!

Some of you may be familiar with Les Butler and The Old Country Church radio show. They feature a great variety of country gospel artists along with a special spotlight Artist of the Month. The month of June they will feature Jimmy. The Old Country Church is heard over the Solid Gospel radio network in over 100 markets. It airs every Saturday and Sunday at 3pm ET. Each weekend they will air approximately 15 minutes of an hour interview with Jimmy and play 3 songs or so. They might even play a few songs that Jimmy played on his guitar in their studio. You can check them out at www.solidgospel.com

We had so much fun on our first group cruise that we scheduled another. It was possibly the best time that Jimmy and Nina ever had on a vacation. So many memories of fun times and relaxation with the fans were made. We took some excursions together

Jimmy’s third annual music festival with Robin and Linda Williams is set for Sept. 30th

Jimmy has been writing and concentrating on what will be included on his next country CD. Hopefully he will start recording in 2005. We will let you know more as this CD progresses.
