Mike Borchetta of Lofton Creek Records stood on his own without assistance for the first time in nearly three months on Saturday, after receiving a performance by Way Out West Records' artist Shawna Russell. The Oklahoma songbird dropped by Borchetta's office while she was in town for the CMA Fest, to wish him well in his recovery after a fall from his horse in March.
After Russell's first song, Borchetta gave her a "standing ovation" and exclaimed: "I gotta stand up for her after that! She deserves it – and I can’t let her down!”
Doctors initially said that fast recovery was not expected for Borchetta, but last week they gave him permission to start walking again.
Borchetta has been consulting Way Out West Records with the radio promotion for Russell's latest single, "Fire In The Desert."
