“It seemed like a message from beyond when Rod Richmond, a Lebanon resident and songwriter, penned a song for the Tune Up for COPD Songwriting Competition, which went on to win “Fan Favorite.” <P> The song Richmond wrote, “Breathe Free,” received 3,000 of 11,000 votes to win the Fan Favorite award for the contest. While he settled on the title and focus of the song, it wasn’t his original idea. ”

“Following in the same footsteps as his musical influences, one Henderson native decided to pack his guitar, cowboy hat-and wife-to settle in Nashville, Tenn., to follow his dreams of making professional music. <P> Little did Richmond know that success would follow him to Nashville in a songwriting contest he entered in February called Tune Up for COPD, sponsored by organizations including the Country Music Association and NASCAR, in which his song “Breathe Free” won fan favorite with 3,113 votes. ”

— Timithy Scee, Newzjunky

“Billy Ray puts his words into action at AOL. He's a spokesman for Drive4COPD, a national public health campaign to inform people about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Today, he is calling Rod, the fan-voted winner of the Tune Up for COPD songwriting contest. Sipping a Red Bull, Billy Ray takes a genuine interest in Rod's story about how he wrote his winning entry on the anniversary of his father's death from COPD. He's so impressed with Rod's talent that he says, "maybe we could hook up on the road. You could do some shows with us." He ends the conversation telling Rod to follow his dreams and to be on the lookout for him. "I'm going to track you down. I'm going to be the left-handed hillbilly coming at you," Billy Ray jokes. ”
