Lawrence So, this is the blog I've been dreading to write because this episode, filmed in Nashville, Tennessee, shows me at my most vulnerable, and possibly unprofessional. The global correspondents code of ethics makes it quite clear a reporter of my stature should never get romantically involved with a subject being investigated. No, I'm sorry, I just re-read the sacred cocktail napkin, and it says one should never let the audience know you're romantically involved with a subject. Even though Rebecca Lynn Howard and I were never actually romantically involved, I still feel I let my truth guard down. I'll admit, I was caught under her spell of loveliness. Her beautiful hair, her adorably southern accent, her tempting bosum all distracted me. Mostly the tempting bosum … but her hair was nice.

And then when she rejected my advances, I took it far too personally, and let it affect the rest of the episode. In hindsight, she did me a favor by ripping my heart from it's chest cavity then running it over in her car, scooping the flattened remains into a blender and pouring the bloody goo into the sewer. I mean, imagine if we'd become romantically attached? She's a singer in Tennessee, I'm a man of the world. All we could've hoped to look forward to were a series of torrid, passionate hotel room encounters in various exotic cities. I'm going to change the subject now - the tears are making it hard to type.

Crystal Gayle was amazing. She's a petite, warm, friendly woman with a great deal of hair. When one is with her, you can feel the charm, charisma and success glowing from her. The two of us together was like a charisma sun and with all that reflective crystal around - it made it tough for the crew. By the way, they didn't close the shop while we filmed, and we were right inside the door. So a couple of times we had to stop for bewildered customers.



The Grand Ole Opry was another interesting experience. Hanging around backstage was special - surrounded by the memories, and the ghosts of classic country singers I'd never heard of. But it's a sacred place and I was honored to be there.

I want to say a big thank you to all in Nashville, especially Aaron Tippen, who's segment did not make the final TV show, but is here on this website. We were very grateful for the time he gave us and his wonderful honesty. But I can't end without a final comment about Ms. Lynn Howard. Rebecca, thank you for casting me aside like yesterday's used kitty litter. Whilst I may not have realized it at the time, I now know you did it to protect yourself. You knew I was a man already romantically involved … with the truth. And whilst she doesn't have your bosoms … or nice hair … I am her faithful and committed partner, and to try and get in between us would only bring heartache, pain, and misery. But if you change your mind … give me a call. Please. And if you're reading this and not named Rebecca Lynn Howard - then leave me a comment - I dare you.
