NFL Star Antonio Brown Arrested For Attempted Murder

The heartbreak of disease juxtaposed with the power of music. If you personally know someone that’s been affected by Alzheimer’s or another progressive brain disorder, then you’re familiar with the daily battles that the disease can bring. Families have no choice but to watch their loved ones struggle with memory loss and confusion as they grow older. Currently, there’s no cure for the disease that affects 7 million Americans (according to Alzheimer’s Association). One of those many millions of people that suffer from the disease is the focus of this video that’s going viral on TikTok. Lori Robinson has been sharing her journey with her father’s fight against Alzheimer’s for months, and this latest TikTok shows how the man’s musical memory has yet to be taken away by the disease. Robinson’s father can be seen in the passenger seat of a vehicle, singing along to Marty Robbins’ hit song “El Paso.” You might not recognize the name, but once it starts playing, you’ll know that you’ve heard it before. The old man knows and sings along to almost every word of the 1959 tune… which both encourages and breaks the heart of his daughter: “My precious dad. Alzheimer’s disease is crazy. He can remember every word to a song, but not what I told him a minute ago. I think he could have been a singer or actor or both.” @lori.robinson Why a cruel disease!! He can sing every word to a song but cannot remember 5 minutes ago. It breaks my heart! I love him so much!! #dad #dadsoftiktok #daddysgirl #daddy #alzheimers ♬ original sound – Lori Robinson | T2D Such a touching video. Robinson’s father has quite the singing voice, and many on social media jumped into the comments section to point that out. The video that the TikToker shared also inspired people online to share their own, similar stories… and offer words of support for Lori Robison: “When I was taking care of my husband’s grandfather, I would play Conway Twitty for him and it was like he was right back in his day.” “Music stored in a region of brain that makes recall easier. My mom could sing all the songs in ‘My Fair Lady.’ But forgot where she lived.” “He sounds beautiful. I’m sorry for the loss you suffer everyday with this horrible disease.” “Music is the best thing! He’s got a beautiful voice!” “My Dad passed 2 years ago and he LOVED this song. He had dementia and was so different at the end but still my sweet father. I miss him with all my soul. I’m sorry you are hurting.” Alzheimer’s truly is a terrible disease. It’s nice to see that social media can still be a nice, heartwarming, supportive place. Everyone loved seeing Robinson’s dad sing along to the song, and their rooting for him in his fight against the incurable illness. And as always, it’s great to see how music has the power to break through even the most degenerative of diseases. I mean… if any classic country song was good enough to stand up against Alzheimer’s, it’s this one: “El Paso” by Marty Robbins The post Viral Video Shows Old Man Suffering From Alzheimer’s Disease Still Remembering All The Words To Marty Robbins’ “El Paso” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

The Lord works in mysterious ways. You might not know the name Drew Parker all that well, but you are definitely familiar with his work. The Grammy-nominated songwriter has penned songs like “Doin’ This,” “1,2 Many” and “Forever After All” for Luke Combs, and “Homemade” by Jake Owen. And he’s been in Nashville for over 10 years now chasing his country music dream. Now, thanks to what he’s calling a sign from God, he’s pivoting to become more of a Christian artist. If there was ever a time to make the switch, now would be a good one. Christian music has arguably never been more mainstream. Back in May, there were two Christian songs that made the Hot 100 – the first time that’s happened in over a decade. One is Forrest Frank’s viral smash “Your Way’s Better,” and the other just so happened to be the Christian-country crossover that you’ve probably heard: “Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Christian artist Brandon Lake and rapper-turned-country-singer, Jelly Roll. But that’s not why Drew Parker is exploring a country-to-Christian move. The 34-year-old artist recently sat down with Undaunted Life and talked about a wild story of God moving in his life. Parker explained that his manager, Chris Kappy, who you may also recognize as the manager of Luke Combs, was the one that gave him the message from the Lord that he was waiting for. The only strange thing? Kappy is a nonbeliever, as Parker explained: “My manager of 10 years, who also manages Luke Combs, he calls me and I have no idea what he’s calling me for. No idea in the world. He just starts going, ‘Hey man, I know this country music thing is your dream and it’s what you moved to Nashville to chase. I know that you love it so much.’ He just keeps going on like that, I’m like, ‘Kappy, what are you… just get it out dude. What are you trying to tell me?’  Let me preface this. Kappy is an nonbeliever. Me and him have had conversations. He has no problem with me talking about this. He is on a journey with the Lord right now, with God right now. He’s figuring it all out. He calls me out of the blue. He goes, ‘Man, I don’t know how to tell you this, but for the last week, I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night around 3:00 in the morning, and I cannot get you off my mind.'” Oh? Though Kappy’s relationship with God was either in its infancy or nonexistent, he felt as though he was being moved by a higher power to deliver a message to his client, Drew Parker. There was a little bit of hesitancy from Kappy, but he finally spilled the beans and told Parker what he felt like he was being led to do: “He said, ‘I don’t know what this was, and I’ve been scared to tell you this… but there’s this voice that, when I wake up in the middle of the night, there’s something telling me I’m supposed to tell you you’re supposed to sing songs about Jesus. You’re supposed to be a Christian artist.’ I go, ‘What?’ He thinks my reaction of ‘What?’ is negative. He starts walking it back like, ‘Well, I just didn’t know.’ I’m like, ‘Woah, Cappy, listen… five days ago, Sunday morning, I prayed that God would send the most undeniable sign that I’m supposed to do something different. And that I need to know exactly what it is I’m supposed to do.'” Chills. Parker went on to say that he had been praying to the Lord to send an undeniable sign that he was due for a career shift. In fact, it was that previous Sunday morning that Parker prayed for a message. His manager, Chris Kappy, says that he started waking up in the middle of the night on that exact day that Parker started praying. Drew Parker explained it all perfectly with this one sentence: “It doesn’t get more undeniable than that.” View this post on Instagram Drew’s latest single is titled “Blame Jesus.” Give it a listen: The post Country Artist, Drew Parker, Tells Unbelievable Story Of How God Woke Up His Manager At 3AM With A Message: “You’re Supposed To Sing Songs About Jesus” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

That’s who you want in your corner during an emergency. Unfortunately I’ve experienced firsthand just how frustrating it can be when a loved one’s in the hospital and the doctors aren’t doing everything they could be doing. You’ve gotta either be able to advocate for yourself or have somebody there to do it for you. And luckily for Colt Ford, he had Brantley Gilbert – and it may have very well saved his life. Last year, the country rapper suffered a serious heart attack after a sold-out show at the Gilbert, Arizona, location of Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row. The singer/songwriter was rushed to Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona, where he was considered to be in critical condition in the hospital’s intensive care unit. Weeks after the medical emergency, the 54-year-old spoke publicly for the first time on the Big D & Bubba Show, detailing the scary event and revealing that he was declared clinically dead three times before being stabilized: “It’s just been a traumatic, crazy experience, guys. I don’t even remember coming out here to do a show in Phoenix. I died three times. Luckily, my band came out to check on me…they came out to check on me, and then all of a sudden they were like, ‘Oh God,’ and then that is when all hell broke loose.” This Mayo Clinic out here in Phoenix, if it was going to happen, God could not have had me in a better place. The big doc out here said, ‘I wouldn’t give me 1%, but I give you 0.1% that you’d survive.’ They brought me back. They saved my life. The Lord had more for me to do.” Obviously Colt has a close friendship with Brantley Gilbert. The two have teamed up on music numerous times, and even wrote “Dirt Road Anthem” together, which became a hit not only for Brantley but also for Jason Aldean. In fact Colt says that Brantley is more like a brother than a friend at this point. And when his brother wasn’t happy with the care Colt was getting after his heart attack, he was there and ready to take matters into his own hands – literally. During a recent interview with Big D & Bubba, Colt recalls the first hospital that he was taken to not having the resources that were needed to save his life. Colt needed to be transferred to another hospital, but the hospital wasn’t giving anybody there any information: “They didn’t want to tell anybody anything. They couldn’t get information, so they were getting agitated about that, because nobody here is related to me. Brantley had done got to the point where they weren’t doing what he wanted  them to do and they weren’t telling him what was going on, so he took his Rolex off and gave it to his security guy. He called Amber, his wife, and goes, ‘I’m about to go to jail if they don’t get something done here with Colt.’ I mean, he’d done made up his mind… He was like, ‘There’s nothing else I can do.’ He said, ‘I was standing there looking at him with your blood all over him from, you know, however many hours of surgery,’ and that wasn’t going to work for him… Brantley was like, ‘Either you’re going to do something or you’re going back in there as a patient.'” Now, I’ve met Brantley Gilbert before and he honestly couldn’t have been nicer and easier to talk to. But I also know that he’s not one who’s going to back down from what he thinks is right, especially when his friend’s life is on the line. As Colt put it: “He is the sweetest guy in the world until you start messing with his family. And then he’s like a real life Sons of Anarchy character.” And that’s exactly who you want in your corner during an emergency. @bigdandbubba Colt Ford talks about the heart attack that almost ended his life, and how Brantley Gilbert helped save him… #coltford #brantleygilbert #fypシ #fyp #miracle @Colt Ford @Brantley Gilbert ♬ original sound – bigdandbubba The post Colt Ford Says Brantley Gilbert Took Off His Watch & Was Ready To Throw Hands With The Doctors In The Hospital After His Heart Attack first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
