I’ll be curious to hear what you all think about it. Hearing about this made me think … Jimmy Buffett, Brand New Country Star. Are you familiar with that song? It’s Buffett song from way back and made me think of this interview heard on FM radio back a few years ago. This was a well received interview with Austin Church, who was born Vernon Arnold. He is a singer-songwriter who has released four albums. He is a concert performer and formerly a radio personality. He co-wrote Jimmy Buffett's song "Brand New Country Star," that I had mentioned which appeared on the album "Living and Dying in ¾ Time." Austin Church’s songs have also been recorded by Lyle Lovett and Del Reeves.
