Songwriters: Layng Martine Jr & Haley Woolbright

Valentine's Day Special - Two Great Songwriters It was fun for me to get two great songwriters together to celebrate Valentine's Day.  Layng Martine, Jr. is one of my favorite guests. Every time he comes on Joy on Paper my listeners let me know how much they enjoy his songs. In 2013, he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. His songs have been recorded by many of the greatest artists including The Pointer Sisters, Reba McEntire, and Elvis Presley, whose recording of Way...

Whether you call them string or threads, there are surprising concurrences that ripple through the fabric of our lives and create a glorious tapestry. Fo...

Joy on Paper: Haley Woolbright

Wow! Since I started Joy on Paper five years ago I have experienced many wonderful things. I've interviewed over three hundred of New York Times best selling authors, ten Mystery Writer of America Grand Master, celebrities and sport heroes -- and even the US Poet Laureate. But this interview has to be one of my most amazing. I feel like Memphis DJ Dewey Phillips must have felt when back in 1954, he played Elvis for the first time on radio! I played Haley's song, Box Car, on a whim. And I'm h...
