Heroes
I guess I would have to say my hero is Keith Whitley, because he was the best singer that ever lived and ever will be, as well as a down to earth, real, small town good ol' boy.
About me: Hello Everybody, I just want to say I'm sorry I have not been able to answer comments or emails. I have been in Johnson City, Tn in the hospital for the last 2 months.

Hello my name is Ernie Thacker, I'm married to a beautiful lady named Dorthy. I also have two great kids, Keith 13 and Whitley 14. I am what alot of people call a miracle. In April of 2006 I was in a very bad automobile accident. In all medical terms I should have died upon impact. But anyway I am alive and have made alot of changes in my life. I am a Bluegrass musician, I started playing music professionally when I was 16, when I started playing with the lendgandary Dr. Ralph Stanley. I now have my own band called Route 23. Due to my accident I am having to take some time off in order to do some healing. Hopefully I will be going back out on the road sometime in the near future.

I would like to pass along some info to some of my friends before it's officially announced that may be of some interest to anyone who appreciates Country music, Keith Whitley and the legacy he left behind. This, the 20th anniversary of Keiths' untimely death has inspired myself with a group and friends and great musicians to launch "Kentucky Bluebird, A Keith Whitley Tribute".
This is an assembly musicians who have grown up with, studied and appreciate the great music Keith recorded during his career. We will focus on the music of Keith Whitley and precise recreations of Keiths' live road show with his band, Miami circa 1988.
"Kentucky Bluebird" is: Chris Caskey- Lead Vocals, Jason Hale- Bass, Paul Bernstein- Keyboards, Josh Hale- Drums,former Miami member Randy Hayes-Lead Guitar-Vocals,Greg Jones- pedal steel guitar. We all have worked and/or do work together is some capacity in other groups such as The Demo Kings and Jon Russell. Two members of "Kentucky Bluebird" are Sandy Hook, KY natives (Keiths' hometown) and are based in Nashville, TN.
Due to the fact that we are all working, professional musicians, "Kentucky Bluebird" will only be available for occasional performances. Please contact me below for booking information.
