The Road Ahead...A Prison-Christmas Tune...Dolly Funnies

BILL BLOG

Thursday November 14, 2024

 

Thursday morning be here with a high of just 59 expected with some rain. Meanwhile hurricane Sara is picking up speed in the Caribbean and could come ashore next week in Florida. Just what they don’t need.

 

YESTERDAY

Twas a lazy, cloudy day here at the Whyte House which gave me time to scratch a whole bunch of things off a list of things that needed attention after being gone a week. It’s amazing how things stack up when you’re gone for a bit.

 

But I got through the list, and today I’m repacking for a show in Ohio Saturday night in Greensville, Ohio.



 

And this will start a period between now and February that’s not nearly as busy as it has been.

 

THE ROAD AHEAD

December 28…a Saturday… I have two shows with Lauren Mascitti at Main and Monroe in Lexington, Tennessee. 

 


 

 

Saturday January 28 a private house concert in Thompson Station, Tennessee with Lauren Mascitti an Wil Nance.

 


 

 

Saturday January 18 I’m with Linda Davis and Lang Scott in Kill Devils Hill, North Carolina.

 


 

 

Sunday January 19 in Myrtle Beach South Carolina with Linda and Lang as we get to play a show with some other great friends Darin & Brooke Aldridge.

 


 

 

Complete info on all these shows and more available in the TOUR section here on the website


 

SONG OF THE DAY

It's never too early to share a Christmas-Prison song like this one recorded by Sly Dawg and the Redneck Ramblers...a character created by my friend Steve Ivey. Check out "Daddy's On Parole This Christmas".  





HEALTH NOTES

A new study suggests that autism risk could rise with air pollution.

 

E. coli cases climb to 104 in McDonald’s outbreak tied to silver onions.

 

The American Heart Association says people with kidney disease may develop heart disease 28 years earlier.

 

 

HERE’S YOUR SIGN



 

Old Ed Bergen had it figured out!

 

 

CHARGE IT

Credit card debt has surged to another record high. It rose to $1.17 TRILLION during the third quarter and increase of 24 billion from the previous quarter. And it’s time to go Christmas shopping!

 

One guy was asked why he didn’t report his stolen credit card and he answered, “The thief is spending less than me.”

 

DOLLY SAID IT

Dolly Parton is not just gifted musically. She’s also very quick with a funny self-deprecating line. Here’s a few favorite quotes from Dolly Parton.

 

“I am a self-made woman, and I have the doctor bills to prove it.”

 

“I have little feet because nothing grows in the shade.”

 

“I was the first woman to burn my bra…it took the fire department four days to put it out.”

 

CHITTY

I’m betting that this Great Grandfather is very popular with his grandchildren and great grandchildren after converting a mobile scooter into this.

 



 

Vin Wardman, 92 years young did just that. And it was mostly built with items he bought off of E-Bay for under $400. Some great grandfathers are just cooler than others.

 

HEADLINE OF THE DAY

Homicide Victims Rarely Talk To Police. (Geez…I can’t imagine why)

 

TODAY

I’m online writing with the talented Brady Seals who was just inducted into the Ohio Country Music Hall of Fame a few weekends ago. Brady has been busy releasing new music, and a lot of those songs are tunes we’ve written together including the first single from his duo “Seals & Crofts 2” Running to the Sun.

 


 

 

If you want to know more about Brady and my relationship and some of the music we’ve written check out this YOU TUBE interview Brady did with me this year. There are some audio issues in the beginning of this interview…but if you join about 10 minutes into it…that all clears up. 

 

 

 

Have a great Thursday!

A Bluebird Show...New Album In The Mail...An Interview With An Old Friend

BILL BLOG Tuesday November 26, 2024   Tuesday morning…couple days away from carving the turkey. 50 for the high today here in Music City…bracing for some cold weather on the way.   YESTERDAY I had nothing musical on the calendar yesterday…but had one of those “had to do” things that took up a chunk of my day. Sometimes you can’t control a calendar…the calendar controls you and give you no choice. But there was some good news that came rolling in.   NEW SHOW On Tuesday January 28 I’ll be hosting a songwriter round at the world famous Bluebird Café. And the great part about this news is that I’m going to be able to add my longtime friend Brent Burns to this show…something that’s been a bucket list item for him.   And I’m so glad that I’m the one who will get to make this happen for him. EVERY songwriter wants to play the Bluebird. And somehow, even though my friend lived in Nashville and wrote very seriously for a long while, he ne...

Trio of Writers...Post CMA...Alligator Bread

BILL BLOG Friday November 22, 2024   Friday…the weekend be here! Little chillier going into the weekend with a high of just 49 today and the low tonight will dip down to 37.   YESTERDAY I rhymed with two friends yesterday Rick Lang and Kristy Cox . Though I have written with both many times, and each of them have recorded songs I’ve written with them, it was the first time the three of us sat down together. And yesterday we wrote a gospel song idea that Rick brought with him…pretty much an entire chorus.      I was able to share with Rick that I heard one of our songs “ Church Bells A Ringin ” that’s on the Blue Collar Gospel Album-Songs of Rick Lang on Sirius-XM on the way to our appointment sung by Danny Paisley and a group of great harmony singers. That was pretty cool.     And we got to celebrate with Kristy for her album “Let It Burn” that’s up for a couple of big Golden Guitar Awards this year including Best Albu...

Turkey Day...Road Schedule...No Degree Jobs

BILL BLOG Friday November 29, 2024   Happy Friday! 32 degrees right now with a high in Nashville today of 43 before dipping to a cold 25 later this evening. Time to put the trap door up. YESTERDAY Anyone else still in a turkey coma after yesterday? My wife and I sat at a long Turkey table with the Scott family and some great friends. We could not have been in better company so thank you Chris & Hillary and Lang and Linda for inviting us.   We certainly missed seeing our daughter Heather again this year and her husband Casey who are stationed overseas with the Army right now. But we were surrounded by people we love.  I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day as well.    SONG OF THE DAY Today I’m sharing a song I wrote with Paul Bogart about his youngest daughter Gentry . Paul lives out in Oklahoma…a real deal cowboy George Strait singing son of a gun. The two of us wrote a song for both of his sons that he recorded...
