And here comes Thursday. It’s going to warm up to 79 today in Music City.
YESTERDAY
I wrote with producer-songwriter-singer-record label head Jerry Salley. The man wears a lot of hats. And well I might add. Jerry has won numerous awards for his talents through the years and has had over 500 of his songs recorded by artists through the years including this great new song from Chris Stapleton on “It Takes a Woman”. Yes…I’m jealous of that one.
I saw Jerry last week at my publishing company and told him I was working on a new song. When I told him the title he lit up and asked if he could write that idea with me. And that’s what we did yesterday. I had a start on the song but Jerry heard it differently than I did. Musically speaking. And he came up with a killer melody that fit the lyrics seamlessly. It’s for a girl, and the song is a little, edgy so now we’re trying to think who that might be, and how to get the song to them.
Jerry tends to make songs better. And yesterday was no exception.
SONG OF THE DAY
Today’s song is “Honey Don’t Do List” that I wrote with Lisa Shaffer and Aussie Phil Barton several years ago on Music Row. I remember there being a lot of laughter in the room that day as we put this list of things together that a wife doesn’t want a husband to do. It went on my “Leave Em’ Laughing CD”.
HEALTH NOTES
RFK Jr. says HHS will research six environmental factors, such as mold, medicine, and ultrasounds for a potential link to autism.
700 cases of measles now in the US with five new cases being reported in Kansas yesterday.
A study suggests that 95% of flu and herpes infections can be neutralized by chewing gum.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
Can I get an Amen?!
ACCORDING TO FILM EXPERTS
These would be the top 5 movie quotes of all time.
5 “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. (Wizard of Oz)
4 “You don’t understand! I coulda had class.” (On the Waterfront)
3 “I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.” (Godfather)
2 Here’s looking at you kid.” (Casablanca)
1 “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” (Gone With The Wind)
I always kind of liked “Lighten Up Francis” in the movie Stripes from Sgt. Hulka.
SPEAKING OF HOLLYWOOD
A Hollywood celebrity was once asked about his mansion that he owned. “How many bathrooms does it have?” was the question. The answer, “I can seat 16.”
UH…NO
I know Easter’s coming up but I don’t see me biting into danged Peep that tastes like a pickle. I’ll stick with my chocolate Easter Bunny. And don’t forget, proper etiquette is to start with the ears.
COLLEGE CHANT
College sports fans have some great chants. Especially the student sections who can be very creative at times.
Austin Peay University is just up the road in Clarksville, Tennessee, home of Fort Campbell. If you ever go to an Austin Peay game you’ll hear the students shout, “Let’s Go Peay”. And you can wear it on a shirt if you’d like.
HEADLINE OF THE DAY
Grandmother’s Head Yanked Out of 23-Foot Python After She Went Missing in Indonesia. (Yikes. Don’t let Granny wander far from the house y’all.)
TODAY
No writing today, so I’ll have fun figuring out what to do with myself. My wife says that…a lot.
Have a great Thursday!
