Regie Hamm makes Nashville History

Regie was told yesterday that he has made Nashville History.

His song "Time of My Life" has been #1 for 15 weeks.

He is being listed in the archives as the Nashville songwriter to have the longest running #1 since Heartbreak Hotel in 1956.

If the song can stay #1 for 4 more weeks, he will surpass it.

He passed up Dolly Parton with 14 weeks.

Good company to be in I think.....

Just wanted to brag on the kid a little more.....

An article will be in billboard mag next month about this.

Bragging rights are yours. Reeally awsome news, I know how proud you are. I thank God for not only his talent but also you giving him the atmosphere to develop that talent.

Congrats. That is great..

I meant to tell you back during the holidays but, I was flipping channels one night and stopped on the E! channell I believe. It was the TV show with Snoop. Fatherhood??? Anyway his show was about his family getting him a Makeover for his Man Cave. (it was a storage shed but they demolished the old one and built him a new building for his at home music studio) anyway during the reveal of his new Man Cave he broke out singing Reggie song.. I thought that was funny.

Tell Regie to manage the money well. It should be able to do him for the rest of his life, even if things were to dry up. I'm presuming that there's a handsome payoff, and I am happy for him and you.

Tim,

Reg said that he could have lived off the money .....but "da man" took 52 % off the top.

Sounds like if he's being taxed that much it's enough money to live on for a while. Sound's like "da man" Bush didn't cut taxes enough to suit the recipients of windfall profits. But thrift and good money management are the Republican way, right, so Regie should be able to make it last and last and last. Gotta love those conservative values. Ain't it grand how conservatives buck it up instead of whine!

Dr Ron have the answer for his tax problems. He can donate a percentage to me if he desires and use that as a tax right off for a non profit donation :lol:

Very cool indeed.

One love,
If he makes a donation to a non-profit, it had better be to his dad...... :lol:

Tim, he made the money after the administration changed...there is about a 9 month lag time.

He said his accountant is expecting him to have to cough up that much IF things go as planned.....but they have to support abortion some how...may as well be off the back of a songwriter.....who btw, adopted two kids to help moms who chose to give life!!!

I don't know how much money he will make,,,but I think he is eating okay now.... :lol:
