I have loved Ricky's music for over 20 years and saw him in concert in 92 with Doug Stone on tour. His voice is one of our finist in country music history. I'm so happy he's here with us and living a good happy life with his soul mate. They are so cute together! I love old cars and old signs just like Ricky. I don't believe I've ever been to a thrift store or antique store where I did not walk out with an old Coke sign lol

Ricky and Bettye, you seem like just good country folks and I love the farm. My good friend lives in Nashville and we love visiting them, and my brother who lives in Lexington. Big classic country fan, and have listened to you for years. I wanted to tell you that your music lives in the hearts of many, old and young. I am a 59 year old retired law enforcement officer that sings classic country and your songs at senior centers/assisted living in the Dallas area. The residents love it as well as the employees and visitors. Today I sang and several of your songs, and the young employees also loved it. I never got to see you perform, but that’s okay, I get to sing your songs and bring joy to others. Good to see y’all are just good people. So, thank you. Headed back to visit friends in Nashville soon, really enjoy the town and the music. Bettye please keep posting. Happy you are enjoying life off the road.

I have an unfulfilled dream that most likely will never happen. People thought I was weird, but I have said for many years when asked about my dream vacation that I would love to spend one weekend with Ricky Van Shelton. Just relax, sit by a fire pit and be in the presence of that effortless voice. He's the only famous person I ever wanted to get to know. But, I have become a 60 yr old father of 4, grandfather of 5 and have way more yesterdays than tomorrows and life happens. Long way of saying I have truly enjoyed experiencing his God given talent and hope he is happy every moment of his life.😎

Love Ricky's singing. Always have. One of the best voice's Country Music ever had. Love Statue of a Fool, and A Bridge I didn't burn by him. His Farm is lovely. Wish I could have seen him in concert, before he stopped touring. Glad he is enjoying his retirement. I grew up with Country/Western Music, via my late Father. He was a pioneer in early C/W Music on radio, for many years in Virginia. Was a musical prodigy. Played about 6-8 instruments, all self-taught, and an excellent singer too. Country Music was just a natural part of my life, always have loved it.

I have to agree with the other comments that Ricky is truly missed in Country Music. He had/has the best voice in country music. My mamma passed 2 years ago and Ricky was her favorite singer. I remember standing in Ricky's line at Fan Fare, quite a number of years ago, to get his autograph on a T-shirt for her. I stood outside in the line and got really sunburned. But when I brought the T-shirt home to Mamma she was so happy that it made it all worthwhile. Making it in country music is tough, but Ricky brought much happiness to many people...more than he will ever know. I know he has many fans who will NEVER forget him!

Bettye, this is so cool & I get to see a video of you instead of still pictures. I got a laugh out of his player on the floor-hey put a set of drawers under it to raise it. I accidentally ran across this. I say a prayer for you and Ricky every day. I think I forgot to tell you to have Ricky swim every day in salt water to slow the progression. I have rigged up seat belts in a long horse tank that really works the best - I learned that at the Mayo Medical School back in the late 1980's and it really works. Ricky made a lot of friends so easily, so there are a lot of people who would come running if you ever need help. I think Ricky's greatest accomplishment was that he made a friend of everybody who ever met him, because as you know Ricky is so sweet to everyone. God Bless you both! Mickey

My wife has 2 cousins in the music business..Shelby Lynne (Moorer) and Allison Moorer. Shelby started in 1988 and Allison several years later. They are still at it but I know what a difficult and stressful career it has been for them. As long as you two are happy is all that matters!

Ricky Van Shelton Do you remember Ricky Van Shelton? The country music star scored big hits with "I'll Leave This World Loving You," "Keep it Between the Lines," "Hole in my Pocket," "I Meant Every Word He Said," "Wild Man," "Statue of a Fool" and his Dolly Parton duet, "Rockin' Years." Over the course of his 20-year career, Shelton had 10 No. 1 hits and was among the ranks of timeless country singers like Conway Twitty, George Strait, Randy Travis and Garth Brooks. Shelton released his debut album Wild-Eyed Dream in 1987. The album, which spawned the hits "Crime of Passion," "Life Turned Her That Way," "Somebody Lied" and more, hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums chart. He followed up the album's success with his sophomore release, Loving Proof, which featured "From a Jack to a King," "Don't We All Have the Right" and the Hank Cochran-penned "He Got You," which was originally recorded by Patsy Cline as "She's Got You." Shelton would go on to release RVS III in 1990, Backroads in 1991, gospel album Don't Overlook Salvation in 1992 and Making Plans in 1998.

Big classic country fan, and have listened to you for years. I wanted to tell you that your music lives in the hearts of many, old and young. I am a 59 year old retired law enforcement officer that sings classic country and your songs at senior centers/assisted living in the Dallas area. The residents love it as well as the employees and visitors. Today I sang and several of your songs, and the young employees also loved it. I never got to see you perform, but that’s okay, I get to sing your songs and bring joy to others. Good to see y’all are just good people. So, thank you.

Just relax, sit by a fire pit and be in the presence of that effortless voice. He's the only famous person I ever wanted to get to know. But, I have become a 60 yr old father of 4, grandfather of 5 and have way more yesterdays than tomorrows and life happens.

That was fun, seeing Ricky & Bettye at home. Glad to see you both so happy. I've always enjoyed Ricky's music. Of course his fans still miss him. God Bless.
Love Ricky's singing. Always have. One of the best voice's Country Music ever had. Love Statue of a Fool, and A Bridge I didn't burn by him. His Farm is lovely. Wish I could have seen him in concert, before he stopped touring. Glad he is enjoying his retirement. I grew up with Country/Western Music, via my late Father. He was a pioneer in early C/W Music on radio, for many years in Virginia. Was a musical prodigy. Played about 6-8 instruments, all self-taught, and an excellent singer too. Country Music was just a natural part of my life, always have loved it.
No wonder Ricky retired you live in lovely place but would still love to hear him singing again as nobody sing s country songs like he does. But glad you are both living happily in your retirement xx
Lol, I loved that tour, very nice home! They are so funny, genuine and humble. I've always been a huge fan of Mr. RVS. His wife is so sweet! You can tell they're a great couple. Beside every great man is the woman that made him that way! What a great Artist, Rock on Wild man!

I have to agree with the other comments that Ricky is truly missed in Country Music. He had/has the best voice in country music. My mamma passed 2 years ago and Ricky was her favorite singer. I remember standing in Ricky's line at Fan Fare, quite a number of years ago, to get his autograph on a T-shirt for her. I stood outside in the line and got really sunburned. But when I brought the T-shirt home to Mamma she was so happy that it made it all worthwhile. Making it in country music is tough, but Ricky brought much happiness to many people...more than he will ever know. I know he has many fans who will NEVER forget him!

Bettye, this is so cool & I get to see a video of you instead of still pictures. I got a laugh out of his player on the floor-hey put a set of drawers under it to raise it. I accidentally ran across this. I say a prayer for you and Ricky every day. I think I forgot to tell you to have Ricky swim every day in salt water to slow the progression. I have rigged up seat belts in a long horse tank that really works the best - I learned that at the Mayo Medical School back in the late 1980's and it really works. Ricky made a lot of friends so easily, so there are a lot of people who would come running if you ever need help. I think Ricky's greatest accomplishment was that he made a friend of everybody who ever met him, because as you know Ricky is so sweet to everyone. God Bless you both! Mickey

Thank you Bettye! I realize how hard it must be to be in the music business and the toll it must take on your personal life. It has to be extremely stressful to satisfy everyone. My wife has 2 cousins in the music business..Shelby Lynne (Moorer) and Allison Moorer. Shelby started in 1988 and Allison several years later. They are still at it but I know what a difficult and stressful career it has been for them. As long as you two are happy is all that matters!
Ricky Van Shelton Do you remember Ricky Van Shelton? The country music star scored big hits with "I'll Leave This World Loving You," "Keep it Between the Lines," "Hole in my Pocket," "I Meant Every Word He Said," "Wild Man," "Statue of a Fool" and his Dolly Parton duet, "Rockin' Years." Over the course of his 20-year career, Shelton had 10 No. 1 hits and was among the ranks of timeless country singers like Conway Twitty, George Strait, Randy Travis and Garth Brooks. Shelton released his debut album Wild-Eyed Dream in 1987. The album, which spawned the hits "Crime of Passion," "Life Turned Her That Way," "Somebody Lied" and more, hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums chart. He followed up the album's success with his sophomore release, Loving Proof, which featured "From a Jack to a King," "Don't We All Have the Right" and the Hank Cochran-penned "He Got You," which was originally recorded by Patsy Cline as "She's Got You." Shelton would go on to release RVS III in 1990, Backroads in 1991, gospel album Don't Overlook Salvation in 1992 and Making Plans in 1998.
So glad for him!

Hi Bettye, thank you for telling about this channel. Before I would just do a search on RVS music and play it all day. This is much better. Do you and Ricky still garden? I so miss your gardening tips and your recipes.

Betty, when you lived in this home is use to do your pest control. I always enjoyed being there and talking to you and Ricky. It's been a long time.

Hello Barry, thanks for thinking of us. We sure did need pest control until we adopted 5 barn cats!
