Eastern Kentucky has made a large impression on nation media recently, and 46 year old Troy Burchett of Prestonsburg will be adding his name to the list. Burchett will be performing his original song “The Spirit Survives” on Saturday on RFD-TV. According to Burchett the song is about his father, who died of throat cancer. In an interview with WYMT Burchett said that he hoped his father would be honored by it. Burchett takes pride in never giving up, and not letting the fact that he is legally blind slow him down.
