The Country Music Hall of Fame has a Wednesday series of programs titled Cook Out Country, an all-inclusive lunch including cookout favorites, live entertainment, autograph signings and photo opportunities. Wade was the featured artist on October 19. The program might have said "cook out," but the weather disagreed. The show was moved to an inside area, which provided an opportunity for more people to hear Wade's music. It was then available to those in the cafe and individuals walking through the main floor of the hall. People stopped on the massive stair case that leads to the second floor and leaned over the rail to listen. Wade had a very good reception. Megan Mullins was along to play fiddle and contribute her lustrous alto harmonies.
Wade opened with what he termed his "warm-up" song for acoustic shows, Don't Make Me Come to Tulsa, written by Don Cook, Wade's friend and his first producer. He followed that with The Day That She Left Tulsa, Good Day to Go Crazy, God Made Me to Love You. He laughingly told the audience that he'd written that song for his dog, Jack. I call him "my sweet little hemmorhoid. He's a pain in the --, but I love him anyway." He continued with Don't Stop, What I Meant to Say, On a Good Night and Old Enough to Know Better. He told the crowd that he thanked God for that song which was #1 on the charts for two weeks and he still gets a check from it every now and then. He also mentioned that he and Megan play in Randy Owen's solo band and they'd just returned from NC after doing a show for Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
