BILL BLOG Thursday, October 29, 2026   Thursday morning has arrived, with a 79 degree high expected in Nashville today.   YESTERDAY I had a great morning writing a new song with bluegrass artist Caroline Owens , who is getting ready for her big album release party Friday evening.     It was one of those writing sessions where I brought a song she loved to life, then made it musically more powerful. And that’s why we co-write with other folks.   Caroline is already getting some attention but keep an eye on her. Her star is just starting to grow. Here’s a SONG that really shows off her voice.   LAST NIGHT I celebrated the Brewers winning their first World Series Championship ever over the Tampa Bay Rays. And surely, Bob Uecker “must be on the front row” in heaven celebrating as well.     After working in radio for six years in Milwaukee and seeing a lot of Brewers games, I was most definitely pulling for the Brew Cr...

BILL BLOG Wednesday, October 28, 2026   It’s the last Hump Day of October…Wednesday! We will hit a 78-degree high today in Music City, but come Monday? The high will be just 66. It’s really Fall.   YESTERDAY Hallelujah. I got my computer back. So far, so good. My tech guy never had a crashing problem like mine. Never crashed once at the shop. Go figure. Either way, I’m glad to have it back.   So, I took it with me to my songwriting appointment with Kristen Bearfield and her boyfriend, Andy Davis .      Kristen has been touring all over with her all-girl gospel group “ High Road ".      That’s Kristen on the far left in the picture above.   Meanwhile, Andy is touring everywhere with Contemporary Christian artist Anne Wilson , with a two-week run out west starting next week.      Andy brought a great idea for a song that let us include three-part harmony, which is always fun. It’s always e...

BILL BLOG Tuesday, October 27, 2026   Good morning from Nashville. I’m home from a 10-day beach run. Got home Sunday actually, and had no computer to put up a Blog yesterday. Sigh. It’s in the shop…crashed.   Today’s high in Nashville will be 76 degrees, and it’s really starting to feel like Fall around here.   So, let’s catch up a little.   THE WEEKEND Friday was my last day in Gulf Shores at this year’s MOTM event for Parrot Heads. I played an early afternoon set with this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award winner Kelly McGuire at the top of the Embassy Suites with a poolside-ocean view again.     Hard to beat playing music with these kinds of views.     And then I went over to Lulu’s and ended as I had started, playing music alongside my friend Brent Burns .     Thank you to all the Parrot Heads for having me again this year. I certainly enjoyed being your backstage announc...

BILL BLOG Friday, October 23, 2026 One last good morning to you from beautiful Gulf Shores, home of MOTM, the Parrot Head Festival. The high today here will be 79 with lots of sunshine. YESTERDAY Geez, take a look at the view I had from my stage yesterday morning for my 10:45 AM gig. Might be one of my favorite stage views ever! I played a one hour show for 30 or 40 Parrot Heads who gathered around the pool for the view, and the music I played. That hour flew by with stories and songs and conversations with folks from all around the country who love being part of the Parrot Head family, all of them loving the beach.  Thanks for hanging, and being such a great crowd yesterday morning. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON I had the pleasure of passing out the Trop Rock Awards for Best Radio Stations at the Trop Rock Award Show, and I was the backstage announcer as well, reading right off the script. The show lasted about 3 hours with some great "live" performances by Trop Rock artists. Special...
