We're now celebrating 25 years of Crossroads, and we've got some special retrospectives coming up soon. Right now though, we thought we'd share one of our first road trips from the year 1988. My first time to meet the late Roger Brashears. Roger was known by folks from around the world as the likeable, uniquely amusing ambassador to the Jack Daniels Distillery.

The Annual Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue will be in October. For more info, visit www.jackdanielsbarbecuemedia.com.
