So much can come from a song, and its connection to the work that its writer or performer does otherwise. The culture forged and re-forged by the connections between the individual performers who've taken part in Overdrive's Trucker Talent Search over the years, and hopefully those among you who have the opportunity to really make a similar connection with them through their work, well … for this podcaster's money, this effort since its very first year has always felt in a way perhaps the most meaningful work I’ve been involved in at Overdrive. We all hope it thrives for the foreseeable future, and that you’re a part of it.

Tune in on Overdrive's Facebook page -- http:;//facebook.com/OverdriveTrucking -- Friday, August 28, at 7 p.m. Central for the final performance from Talent finalists Freddy French, Paul Cullers and John Malayter, bookended by some extra entertainment from these trucking-music leading lights, both past Talent Search participants in a variety of ways themselves: our own contributing writer “Long Haul Paul” Marhoefer and the one and only Tony Justice.
