Hey, Hey, Hey to everybody checking in. Thanks for sharing your sweet comments reacting to Linda’s questions. For those of you who showed your pictures on Facebook of us from way back when, I remember receiving them, and I still have them! And I am so touched by your loyalty that we’re still in contact and you’re all grown up now! How cool!
Thanks for being my friends for all these years and for staying in touch and supporting me in my music, songwriting, books and greeting cards with Blue Mountain Arts and my novel that I wrote recently. In a way, it really does seem like I’m starting over. I love and appreciate you all so much.
On another note, I’ll be doing a couple of interviews next week, both of which are on Monday – I’ll be talking to Phil Krantz from Georgia on April 20 at 8:30 am (central time). You can listen live at https://www.spreaker.com/user/blackdog-indie-country-radio–8120441 And also, I’ll be talking again with Scott Wikle from Michigan on My Kind of Country; however, we don’t have an airdate yet on the one with Scott.
As you may know by now, my new single “Small Town Hillbilly Good-Time Saturday Night” will be officially released TOMORROW, Saturday, April 18, 2026!!!!!!! The MP3 will be available for download late tonight at 12:01 AM (technically the first minute of Saturday) at DonnaFargo.com and PrimaDonnaEntertainmentCorp.com. (I didn’t want you to wait any longer if you wanted to hear it.) The CD single will be on the websites too. Streaming on Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music and more will begin on Saturday as well, but times may vary.
And this Saturday, “The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA” will be featured on The Classic Country 10 at 10:00 am on WYTM Radio in Fayetteville, Tennessee. You can stream it at https://www.1055wytm.com/ (I think they will be playing the new song too!)
For those of you who weren’t able to attend the Country Music Hall of Fame Songwriter Session I did with Lauren Mascitti, you can now watch it on the Country Music Hall of Fame website, https://watch.countrymusichalloffame.org/videos/donna-fargo-and-lauren-mascitti-songwriter-session-2025. It was truly an honor to participate in the Songwriter Session series.
Back to “Small Town Hillbilly Good-Time Saturday Night,” I think I’m as excited for you to hear it as you are. The waiting is almost over! I’ll be reading your comments as they come in, BUT next week I’ll be looking at your remarks in real time as the Friday Follies becomes a FACEBOOK LIVE event at 2:00 p.m. (central time) on Friday, April 24th.
Love, love, love,
Donna
P.S. A very special thank you to my sweet niece Marisa for the Elvis shirt I’m wearing! I love it! It’s so cool. Who doesn’t love Elvis?
