Well, we are going back on Sat. March 6. I sure do hope to see all of our fans again, and hope the weather is as good to us as it was in Jan. This time we are starting at 9pm. and playing til 1am. A half hour earlier, for the benefit of those who have to get home earlier. Again, thanks for a great new year. Tommy]]></description>

            <title>Dance for the kids</title>
            <link>http://tommyrynick.com/news.html#63</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone;  We sure did have a great time at the dance for the kids, at the Berwick VFW. I would like to thank every one of you for coming out and supporting us in this event. It was also a pleasure working with Covert Action. They sure are a wonderful, professional group, and they sure are fun to watch. It sure was nice to see you all there, and it looks like we might just have a new group of Country Travelers. I was fortunate to have a great bunch of musician friends to help me out at the dance, and they enjoyed it so much, that we are doing some more shows coming up shortly. On sat.,Jan. 23rd. we will be at the Crossroads, in Mt. Top. Hope to see some of you there. We also have some other things in the works, and we will let you know as soon as things are finalized. We also got some decent pictures to put up on the web. As soon as we get some really good band pictures we will put them up, but for now these will do to get everybody acquainted with the group. Again, thanks for your support. Tommy]]></description>

            <link>http://tommyrynick.com/news.html#62</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi everybody; I just heard from Sandra Kashner and we are playing for the dance to help financially strapped children have a great christmas. The dance is Sunday evening starting at 4pm. Covert Action will be playing from 4 til 6:00 pm and we will be playing from 7 til 9:30. It sure sounds like a fun evening and I hope to see you all there. Dance is Sunday evening, Nov. 15th. so plan ahead for a fun evening of great country music. We would also appreciate it if you would bring a christmas present for a child. It could be a toy, clothing, blanket, quilts or something that you think a needy child could use to make life a little more pleasant. Thank you in advance and God Bless You. ------ Oh, the dance will be at the Berwick V.F.W. just like last year. See you all there. Tommy]]></description>

            <link>http://tommyrynick.com/news.html#61</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi everyone;  Wow!! Every time I think I've finally got things under control something else pops up. My computer decided to take a vacation, then my phone line decided to leave town, then my security system said if everyone else is leavin town, I might as well go too. Well;;; I'm still not sure exactly what is going on, but I did manage to get back on track a little bit and am trying to get some new information up. I did manage to put some more photos of my past band members. Boy, I didn't realize we had so many different band members over the years. We sure did have a lot of fun though. If I can keep this thing up and running, I will try to get some more pictures up, and will try to catalog them into groups and hopefully date them as close as I can remember. Then I hope to get back to writing another page of my life on this road that I travel. Thanks for being so patient. God Bless all of you.]]></description>

            <title>My relationship with Jesus</title>
            <link>http://tommyrynick.com/news.html#60</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This story began to take shape on april 13, 1969, my oldest daughters' birthday. We had planned a small birthday party for her that afternoon, but as things usually go in my life, I was busy doing some landscaping around the house. We had a small stream running around the back of the house, and every time it would rain we would have a bigger and deeper gulley in our back yard. Well, we were in a good weather mode, and there wasn't any rain in sight, so I thought I'd better get this project done once and for all.    It was a beautiful sunday and my daughter kept coming out and wanted to get the party started, but I told her I had to get this lawn raked and the grass seed sewn. Well, it kept getting later and later in the afternoon, and finally my wife came out and said we needed to get this birthday party  started. She suggested taking the following day off work.       Well, I was a stubborn old coot and I kept on working on the yard until I finally got the grass seed sewn. I figured I could spread the straw around the following evening, so I finally went in and got cleaned up for my daughters party. It turned out to be an evening party instead of an afternoon party.     The interesting thing about this story is, If I would have listened to my wife and had taken off work the following morning, I would not have been in that terrible accident. I will always wander in the back of my mind what would have happened if I would have listened to what my wife and my daughter were trying to tell me that day.     Life is what it is and we just have to learn to make the most of what we are offered. I was in a terrible accident , but what happened after that accident had a profound  impact on my life, and the way I looked at life, forever.     Some of my fondest memories came as a result of that accident. I may never have had the opportunity to go to Nashville, or I may never have experienced all the interesting things that developed as a result of that accident. Then again, thats the rest of the story, so I hope you will tune in again next week for another page of the Tommy Rynick story.]]></description>

            <title>My relationship with Jesus</title>
            <link>http://tommyrynick.com/news.html#59</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi; I am still trying to figure out how to best utilize this website, but I feel like I've got a bit of an idea I'd like to share with you.        To start this journey, I will have to begin with how the cd, "This Road I Travel " came about.     On april 14, 1969, I was on my way to work like so many mornings before, but this morning was about to change my life forever. I was driving down the road thinking about how I was going to begin my day at work, when I was approaching a wide curve in the road, and a car came around that curve, heading right at me. I had no place to go, but to lay on the brakes and hope for the best.     The next thing I knew, I was being led out of my truck by a close neighbor, Herb Mowery. He got me into his car and was heading for the Berwick Hospital. Herb kept talking to me, trying to keep me alert as he was driving, and I was answering him as best as I could. I don't think he could understand a thing I was saying, as my mouth was smashed like a bag of potatoe chips. I remember Herb talking to me all the way down through Nescopeck and onto the Berwick-Nescopeck bridge. As we approached the Berwick side of the bridge, I must have passed out, as I didn't remember anything else until I woke up in the hospital and my wife and some nurses were there beside my bed trying to explain what had happened.  Well, let me tell you something right now, what happened was, I was in a real bad accident. But what really happened was, as Paul Harvey would say is,"Thats the rest of the story".     As the days turned into weeks, and I began to get some strength back, I began to get more and more restless. I just wanted to get out of that hospital. But, that was not going to happen. My face was all smashed in and I was wrapped up like a Mummy. I needed surgery, but I had to regain more strength before they could operate on me. So, I had to endure the countless days of sitting around in a hospital room, where all there was to do was eat and sleep, and feel miserable. Until!!!  My brother in law, Terry Bennett came in one day and said, I know what you need; Your Guitar. The next day he brought me my trusty flattop and the rest of the story began.     I picked up that guitar and began trying to sing a song I had never heard before. Yes, I was trying to sing, but my head was wrapped up every which way but loose, and I couldn't even talk let alone try to sing. What I did was go over and over this song in my head that I had never heard before. Now I had written a few songs before, and I had to just pick out a situation and sit down and write something about that situation until I had a song written. But this was fifferent. The words and the music just kept on coming to me. Finally, I asked a nurse for some paper and a pencil, which she brought in for me, and I just began to write down all the words that were in my head. This eventually became the first inspirational song I had ever written, "Jesus was riding in the passenger seat".     This story just keeps on getting  more and more interesting the longer it goes, and I still don't know for sure where its going. But, I know one thing for sure, it sure is fun, and getting to know Jesus a little better, has made my life more interesting and more fulfilling than I could ever have imagined.     Thanks for stopping by, and listening to my rambling, but I am writting this story as I go along, and I hope to have another part written for next week. I hope you will come back to see where this road goes. Thanks again.]]></description>

            <link>http://tommyrynick.com/news.html#41</link>
            <description><![CDATA[I want to appologize to you for the fact that I had to turn off the guestbook, because unscrupulous drug companies were taking over the entire section to get free advertising for their drugs. I am sick of seeing all the drug ads on tv, and now I cannot run my website without them trying to monopolize it. Thank you for your understanding. Hopefully in the future, I will be able to utilize it again. Thanks again, Tommy.]]></description>

            <link>http://tommyrynick.com/news.html#38</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Hi again; Just wanted to say thanks again for all you folks coming to see what is going on in our lives. At the moment we are busy as can be still trying to get an album done so we can get some new music on here. But the big news I'd like to share with you is about some of the guys I used to work with.  Two of my really great friends are now living in or near Nashville, Tenn. Randy Hess played pedal steel guitar in my band several years ago, then went on to nashville where he eventually worked for Tom T. Hall, then for Trace Adkins, and now is on tour with Kelly Pickler, who is opening for Brad Paisley on his tour. Another really great friend of mine just recently moved to Nashville, and is doing fine in the area and has a really neat spot on the internet at http;//digitalrodeo.com/Webb Kline. Check out his music for yourself. He is one of the most outstanding piano players I have ever had the chance to work with, and he plays a real mean dobro too. Check him out. See you again soon. Tommy]]></description>
