... Wade partnered with pro basser, Fred Contaol, in the first annual Porter Wagoner Memorial Artists & Anglers Fishing Tournament held on Percy Priest Lake in Nashville. Though they didn’t bag the big catch in the tournament, the preparation days on the lake yielded some excitement. Wade caught a whopper of a small mouth bass - no trophy though - it was “catch and release.”

... Wade appeared on the WSM-AM 650 morning show - “Coffee, Country and Cody.” Bill Cody, member of the Country Music DJ Hall of Fame, hosts the show each  week-day morning from 5:30 to 10 am. The show is broadcast world wide over WSMonline.com from the broadcast booth in the Magnolia Lobby of the Opryland Hotel. Charlie Mattos, producer of the show, skillfully manned “the board.”
Wade brought his own coffee and more importantly to the listeners, he brought two new songs to be played. “Good Day to Go Crazy,” the first one, is a lively romp about ditching the job to enjoy a great day. His second new song was one he’d written for his parents, who recently celebrated their 41st anniversary, “The Best Part.” The strong line in this plea to work on maintaining an important relationship is, “If you only want the good times, you’re going to miss the ‘best .
Cody commented that one of the things he liked about Wade was his distinctive sound - “Nobody else sounds like Wade Hayes.” On air comments ranged from baseball to fishing to talk of Wade’s first entry into the business as a recording artist.
In the beginning, the young man from Oklahoma who’d never been on an airplane, was thrust into jetting the country to play his music for radio stations. Wade said he and the two friends who traveled with him and performed acoustically were universally well received by radio - a good introduction to the music business. He is currently writing and working on his next project.
Wade mentioned the Nashville Navy show which will be held the next day at 3rd and Lindsley. He also said that he will participate in the first Porter Wagoner Memorial Artists & Anglers Fishing Tournament. The money raised throughout the day will be donated in Porter's name to the Opry Trust Fund.
