Then while I was still in college, I got a phone call from my dad and his manager, Charlie Ammerman. They were in town and wanted to talk to me. My dad has heard from the grapevine that I had turned into quite a singer. Charlie was putting my dad back on the road. He had a new band and a new album to promote. They wanted me to go with them and open for him. I was very determined at that time to finish my degree in college so I decided not to go with them. Charlie was very angry at me, saying I was missing out on an opportunity of a lifetime. Well, I didn't see it that way. I figured that if he was a worthwhile manager, that he would still be around in a couple of years, after I had graduated. Come to find out, another star-to-be took my place and went on a few dates of that tour. She was Lorrie Morgan.
