It’s Friday morning. And since it’s Friday the 13th, I guess a cold wave is appropriate. The high in Nashville today will be just 44 degrees.
PACKED UP AND READY
I have an early departure to North Carolina for two shows with Linda Davis and Lang Scott and our “Evening in the Round” show.
Tomorrow night we have an 8 pm show in Clayton, North Carolina.
Then we have a Sunday afternoon matinee show in Concord, North Carolina, that starts at 4 pm at the Davis Theatre.
FREEDOM SINGS USA
These dates are now confirmed for me in 2027. I’ll be writing with veterans in:
Shiloh Illinois…April 9-11
Anna, Illinois…April 22-25
And then a very unusual back-to-back trip.
Heyworth, Illinois…June 13-15…and then we jump on a plane the next morning in Bloomington, Illinois, and I’ll be in West Falls, NY (Buffalo area) June 16-19.
And finally (for now), September 9-12 in Marion, Illinois.
2027 is shaping up to be maybe my busiest year ever. All the dates are on my calendar under the “TOUR” section on my website.
SONG OF THE DAY
Since I’m on the road doing two shows with Linda Davis and Lang Scott, I thought I’d share a song that their daughter, Hillary Scott, and her group, Lady A, made famous: “I Run To You.”
I didn’t write this one, but I sure wish I had. But our trio sings this one in all of our shows, and here’s a “live” VERSION of that.
HEALTH NOTES
Alarming. Hospital sewers may be breeding grounds for dangerous superbugs, according to a newly released study.
Another study concludes that eating high-sugar food like cereal is linked to a 28% higher chance of breast cancer.
An experimental pancreatic cancer vaccine is showing promise in a clinical trial.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
Solid advice.
LASER DOLLARS
The Star Wars lightsaber that was used in Darth Vader’s ‘I am your father’ duel just sold for nearly $5 million.
That’s the most expensive Star Wars item. Wow.
MEANWHILE
The star and director of the long-running TV series “Law and Order” is reportedly making $850,000 per episode.
So, she can afford to buy several Star Wars lightsabers.
HUSBAND AND WIFE JOKE
A man wakes up from a coma. His wife changes out of her black clothes and irritated, remarks, “I really cannot depend on you in anything, can I?”
HOME SALES
Not good. Home sales have plunged to a 16-year low as mortgage rates are not coming down. Plenty of homes to choose from if you’re a buyer and can pay cash.
Tough time, though, to be a real estate salesperson.
TODAY’S QUOTE
From Benjamin Franklin Wade:
“Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company.”
TODAY
Road bound to North Carolina.
A couple of friends of mine are going to be getting up on stage and singing the Linda Davis-Reba McEntire Grammy-winning duet “Does He Love You.”
Saturday evening in Clayton, Amanda Daughtry will have the honors. Amanda won a radio contest. She and I wrote a little when she used to live in Nashville.
And then Sunday afternoon in Concord, my friend Caroline Owens will have that honor. Caroline is the young artist who had a number 1 song, “Telluride,” this year that I wrote with Andrea Pearson.
Those will be fun moments!
Have a great weekend.
