Tuesday morning arises in Nashville. And it’s packing day for a trip early tomorrow morning for a trip to Gulf Shores.
YESTERDAY
I wrote for the second time with Stuie French, great guitar player and the Dad in the talented family group “The French Family Band” featuring Stuie, his wife Camille and their boy Sonny. And the son is also a heck of guitar player.
From
Australia, the family band plays a quite a bit of “western
swing”…”shuffle”…”Texas” kind of stuff so we wrote something down that Lone
Star lane yesterday that will allow Stuie and his son room to really pick on
the tune. Here’s an EXAMPLE of some great guitar playing from the Father and Son alongside the the great Tommy Emmanuelle on stage at the world famous Station Inn one night here in Nashville.
It was fun and a pleasure to write that with Stuie yesterday.
SONG OF THE DAY
A brand new song just released is what I want to share today “The Jeans Songs” from a Trop Rock buddy Donny Brewer featuring another Trop Rocker Stoney Gable. And it’s pretty danged funny. Donny called me one day and asked me to help him write this funny idea he had that was all about how some girls fit into those really tight blue jeans. Donny had most of it written…but I was happy to add a couple of funny lines for him in this song on his brand new album. Check it out by hitting the link above.
HEALTH NOTES
Frozen waffles sold at Walmart, Target, and other retailers have been recalled over listeria concerns.
A report claims that sipping herbal tea daily is good for overall wellness, that it helps enhance the immune system, and improves mental clarity.
Nutritionists seem to agree that the #1 spice for helping with weight loss is cayenne pepper.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
Uh...hit spell check please.
MORE AI
Now researchers say that scientists have created an electronic tongue that uses AI and that it can tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi. Those scientists are hopeful it will help determine whether food is fresh or contains harmful contaminants.
And maybe it will let me know if the milk is sour before I have to smell it with my own nose.
SAD
Today there are still 26 people missing from hurricane Helene despite the massive rescue efforts in North Carolina. An as of today they estimate between 30.5 and 47.5 billion dollars’ worth of damage.
I HOPE…
That McDonald Trump fixed the danged ice cream machine while he was there.
DECLARING BANKRUPTCY
That would be both Red Lobster and Friday’s. It’s funny how that goes. Though I like both…it’s been a long while since I’ve been in either. I must be the reason huh?
RATS!
Orkin just released their list of the cities with the most rats. Here’s their Top 5.
5…DC
4…Frisco
3…NYC
2…LA
And Chicago has the most rats according to the Orkin folks. You’d think New York right? And that’s the only city I’ve been in where I actually saw a danged rat…the Big Apple. Right when I started my radio show in NYC covering the CMA Awards show one year…a rat scurried across the back of the hotel suite we were broadcasting in. Yikes.
Chicago has now budgeted 14.8 million dollars to combat the rodent problem.
HEADLINE OF THE DAY
Woman Wedged Upside Down Between Rocks For 7 Hours After Trying To Retrieve Her Phone. (Rescue crews had to be called to get her out.)
And now I’m wondering if she was able to call for help herself while she’s hanging upside down in these rocks.
TODAY
Packing a guitar and a bag for the trip to Gulf Shores tomorrow morning for the
big Parrot Head gathering called “Meeting of the Minds” down on the beach.
Always a fun time hanging out with the Parrot Heads!
Tomorrow night I’ll be at the Trop Rock Awards Show presenting awards for Best Trop Rock Radio Station as well as the trophy for the Best Duo-Group in Trop Rock. Looking forward to that.
Have a great Tuesday!
