As we all know, the mysterious Coronavirus has disrupted our lives, bringing illness, death
and uncertainty over the globe...

Under the current circumstances, it is with great sadness that I must postpone my appearance
as part of the Poets & Prophets series at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville that
was scheduled for March 21.

I am fine but under medical orders not to travel until this horrible threat is hopefully under
control in the coming months. My thoughts are also with all of those in Tennessee who
have suffered from the recent tornadoes as well.

My deepest thanks go out to Michael Gray and everyone involved at CMHOF
as well as all my friends and fans for their understanding and support.

I look forward to seeing Music City again very soon and singing my heart out.

Love,
Jackie
