Tuesday morning coming at ya. A high of 85 is predicted for Nashville today with a little more rain in the forecast. I’m pretty sure we’ve hit our quota for precipitation this year.
YESTERDAY
I wrote with my young, talented Aussie friend yesterday, Angus Gill. Always fun, as he has a keen sense of humor. Yesterday he brought a very fun idea to the writing table that we wrote. The song deals with ALL of those many Craft Beers that one can choose from these days when they walk into their bar. Finding a Miller, or Bud, or Pabst can be a challenge in those places. And that’s the thought we chased together at my publishing company.
Angus shared they he’s recording an album that’s being produced out in Los Angeles, right now. He’s spent a little time out there on the West Coast recently doing this.
Angus is also having some fun doing TikTok videos of an “Australian Trying American Food”. I jumped into a segment we filmed at the publishing company yesterday after Angus had gone and raided our snack bar. Pretty funny stuff. As soon as he’s edited the video, I’ll share it here.
SONG OF THE DAY
Today’s song is “Dirt Road,” recorded by another Aussie friend, Kristy Cox that I wrote with her and her producer Jerry Salley. It’s all about buying a piece of property off the grid and getting back to living a simpler life. Sort of like the way I grew up.
NEW SHOW DATE
September 13 I’ll be returning to Main and Monroe in Lexington, Tennessee for another show with Lauren Mascitti.
Main and Monroe is a really cool restaurant café that sits on the town square in Lexington. GREAT food. And it’s small and intimate…perfect for songwriter shows. Show time will be at 6:30 pm, and I’ll be posting more details on my Tour Calendar here on the website soon.
Make plans to join us if you can. You’ll love this place.
HEALTH NOTES
Research suggests that there is a disturbing link between microplastics, ultra-processed foods and mental health. Higher risk of depression, anxiety, and poor sleep are all in play because of it.
Some TikTok users are claiming that a large Coke and a large order of fries from McDonald’s helps cure migraine headaches. They call it the McMigraine. Doctors are quick to point out that it’s not a McCure.
Some good news. The US hasn’t seen a human bird flu case in 3 months.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
I have no idea.
MONEY
How much income do you need to make to be in the top 5% of each state? It varies. I did check though. In my home state of Missouri, I would need to make $410,472. Here in Tennessee, it would be $435,495.
And if you live in New York? You need to make over $600,000 to be in the top 5%. If you want to check your state…here’s the LIST.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK YOUR WIFE
One guy asked his wife, “Am I the only one you’ve ever been with?”
And his wife replied, “Yes, all the others had been nines and tens.”
TUSH PUSH
The Green Bay Packers have a proposal in to the NFL hoping to stop the “Tush Push” that the world champion Philadelphia Eagles use with so much success on short-yardage plays. Bunch of grown men pushing another grown man’s butt forward to gain a first down.
A couple of thoughts. I’m not sure why other teams don’t copy what they’re doing.
And second, for the record, I don’t want anybody pushing my tush. But that’s just me.
HEADLINE OF THE DAY
Scientists To Kill Ducks To See Why They’re Dying. (Nuff said right there)
TODAY
Writing with a couple of talented ladies, singers, and songwriters today. That would be Caroline Owens whose current single “You’ve Still Got It” has been number one for multiple weeks on the bluegrass charts right now.
And Lauren Mascitti will be joining the two of us today. Pretty sure there will be some magic in the writing room today.
Have a great Tuesday!
