I grew up in my very own “Harmony, TN” in Mt. Juliet, 25 minutes outside of Nashville. I grew up going to Opryland, seeing Diamond Rio play, and enjoying Country Music, USA. Honestly, growing up, I had no idea that people just singing in the home and in the community wasn’t a normal occurrence! Many many years later, I decided I wanted to take my own family to see where I grew up all those years ago. I was nervous. What if it wasn’t everything I remembered it being when I was young? What if everything had changed? Would it feel the same? As we drove up to the street of my old house, a feeling I’d never felt before, like seeing an old love, washed over me. The colors of the trees, the sky, the grass, the blue shutters, all seemed to be in HD, so vibrant and stunning. We drove just down the street to see my old neighbor's house…they still lived there! We stopped. We walked down their long, grassy front yard to their front door. After 25 years, would they even know me? Recognize me?  I hadn’t given them any notice that I was coming. Before we even made it to the front porch, they came through the front door. They smiled and said, “Hi, David. It's been a long time. It's so good to see you. Is this your family?” I was almost in tears. This is what May We All is all about. In an ever-spinning playground of life, where things are constantly changing, where the pressures of life seem to swallow us up, “May we all get to grow up in a red, white, and blue little town…kinda place you can’t wait to leave but nobody does ‘cause you’d miss it too much”

Hopefully, we all know that same little town, with those same familiar faces, the ones that remind us where we’ve been, where we’re going, keep us grounded to who we are, reminding us of what really matters in life…family, community, friendship, and the one thing that brings them all together, music!

In my concept, I wanted to create time capsules, remembering people and places as they were so perfectly in our memories while paying homage to the great country music pioneers who paved the way for a genre that stands the test of time, with its incredible storytelling, childlike simplicity, and focus on the wonderful things that make America so great. 

I hope you enjoy seeing my own “Harmony, TN” shine through in this beautiful tribute of a show, while also taking the time to see those same wonderful people and that wonderful town in your own life reflected in this story, and maybe allow the music to heal and spread forgiveness and love for your fellow men…” May we all do a little bit better than the first time, learn a little somethin’ from the worst times, get a little stronger from the hurt times” and remember that life really is just one big country song!

– David Smith
