Tuesday do be here and it’s going to be pleasant in Music City. Sun and a high of just 83 today.
YESTERDAY
I wrote with Stuie French yesterday for the first time. Stuie is the Dad of the family band “The French Family Band” that features himself, his wife Camille, and their son Sonny.
The family is from Sydney, Australia. They made music Down Under successfully for years then moved to the states as a family 5 years ago. They’re getting ready to apply for status in the next little while.
Stuie is a gifted guitar player who plays on a lot of sessions here in town so it was really fun writing with someone who plays as well as he does. And we wound up writing something that we think will fit the voice of his wife perfectly. The family is working towards recording an album together soon…so hopefully this is a song they’ll consider seriously for that project when that time rolls around.
We’ll be writing together more in the future I’m sure.
NEW SHOW
I added a new show on December 28 of this year at Main and Monroe located in Lexington, Tennessee which is about an hour and a half from Nashville. 2 dinner shows that night with my talented friend and American Idol star Lauren Mascitti.
6 pm and 8 show at this great intimate venue that seats about 60 folks per show with great food. My friends musical partners in crime Linda Davis and Lang Scott just played there and talked about how great it was and they helped open the door for me and Lauren to play there on the 28th of December. So come join us for what is sure to be a great evening right before the New Year rings in.
HEALTH NOTES
Blood banks are searching for type O blood amid an emergency shortage.
A new study claims that children who do not get enough sleep are in a greater danger of getting hooked on drink or drugs.
Google AI can hear disease just in the sound of your cough. We are living in an AI world now for sure.
LOVE THIS
From actor Denzel Washington.
Amen.
BRISKET ON THE BOARD!
How cook is Buc-ee’s? Cool enough for Keith Urban to throw up a stage on the one in Athens, Alabama where I’ve stopped a few times and throw a concert!
And…he found time to go inside and make brisket.
6,000 folks showed up for the pop-up show. Smart marketing as it created a lot of headlines and press for Keith. Keith Urban, brisket, and the cleanest bathrooms ever. Potent combination there.
EMOTIONAL
How about the woman in NYC who’s a tenant with not one or two but THREE emotional support parrots? Uh huh. She just won $165,000 in a lawsuit after she was kicked out because of her birds. Uh huh.
It’s these kinds of headlines that drove my friend Brent Burns to write “Service Dog” that he recorded that gets his “live” audiences howling…literally!
DIFFERENT INSURANCE
In England a food truck owner is now offering a different kind of insurance to her customers. If their food they just bought gets stolen from the many seagulls nearby…they get another sandwich to replace it. Cost about a pound to buy with those pounds going to a local animal charity. Kind of cool actually.
JUST SO YOU KNOW
Eggo is now offering a coffee flavored waffle. Slip a pod in Keurig and out it comes into your favorite coffee cup.
I’m waiting for Kraft to deliver a mac and cheese flavored java.
HEADLINE OF THE DAY
Florida Doctor 84, Couldn’t Hear Colonoscopy Patient Screaming In Agony Because He Wasn’t Wearing His Hearing Aids.
I'm still squirming and flinching after reading that.
TODAY
I’ll be back in the writing room with Adam Pope. He and his wife Amy have been kind enough to record a few of the songs I’ve written with them including this little beach “Alabama Coast”.
Have a great Tuesday.
