It reminds him of his late brother, Dennis Pratt.
“I thought of the little things, the good things that we should remember,” he said. “When it snows, I think of him. In the winter, I’d come to the shop and he’d have the sidewalk cleaned off.
“He was my little brother, but he was a big guy. When I would go out to sing, he was like my bodyguard,” he said.
Pratt is a longtime regular on area stages, followed from gig to gig by a group of fans known as the Kick It Up Dancers.
He also has performed in Nashville and at the CMA Fest, the Tennessee State Fair and Rocky Gap Music Festival. He has opened for country stars like Pam Tillis, Lorrie Morgan, Crystal Gayle, Ronnie Milsap and Dwight Yoakam.

Greensburg Garden Center will offer two ways for supporters to enjoy its annual spring tea on March 20.
A “Tea-In” option includes a sit-down meal at Maplewood Presbyterian Church, while a “Tea-Out” option will allow people to pick up a box featuring the same meal to enjoy at home.
“We felt like we could have the (sit-down) event and do it safely, but either way, it’s all going to be super-special,” said center co-president Carla Rusnica.
