For National Memorial Day concert pal Joe Mantegna is unable to be with us. Tonight my co-host is Mary McCormack. Beautiful heartfelt words here from
Mary. Tune in. 8pm/7 Central on PBS.
Hey folks, today I’d like to take a moment to share something deeply personal with you.
Over the past few years, my family has walked through a season of profound love and loss. My son Mac was a remarkable young man, full of talent, heart, and purpose. An incredible musician and composer, in 2018 Mac was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and our family entered a journey that none of us could have prepared for.
A little over two years ago I went to work writing my second book, sharing his story, as well as challenges and blessings our family experienced along the way, the love that held us together, the faith that sustained us, the grief that changed us, and how we continue to move forward daily with a strength we didn’t know we had.
And now Thomas Nelson and @People Magazine begin the next part of this journey.
This book is for Mac. It’s also for anyone who has faced loss, uncertainty, or hardship, and is searching for a line of hope in the middle of it. Something I feel I needed to do to help with my own healing.
I’m thankful to People for sharing the launch of our presale today. Graceful Warrior: The True Story of a Son, a Father, and a Family Who Carried Each Other Through is now available for preorder and will officially be released on Mac’s birthday, Nov 10th.
Thank you for your consideration.

Please take a moment to congratulate these three Veterans for successfully completing the Guitars for Vets program out of Jacksonville, Florida!
Congratulations Bradley, Kevin, and Steve! Welcome to the start of your musical journey.
Wish I could say I knew him, or worked with him, but many of my friends did. They all said the same thing that those of us who only watched and reveled in the quality of his work would say: There was nobody better. #ValKilmer set the standard the rest of us struggle to achieve. R.I.P.
#RIPValKilmer I was incredibly fortunate to collaborate with Val a number of times over the years. As the off beat swordsman #Madmartagen in #Willow , his stunning #JimMorrison in Oliver Stone’s #TheDoors & in a chilling cameo in #TheMissing. I list these titles because even my own personal creative experiences reflect his awesome range as an actor. Check out his filmography. Amazing. His art extended to his poetry, artworks, filmmaking and simply the way he lived. Bon Voyage, Val And thank you.
Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers and instructors nationwide, we’ve already held over 6,271 lessons in 2025. Every lesson, every strum, every story shared is a powerful step toward healing through music. Thank you for helping us make this mission possible.
