BILL BLOG Wednesday, August 19, 2026   It’s the middle of the week. And it will be Wednesday all day. 88 for a high today. After being near 100 for well over a week, it’s amazing how comfortable 88 degrees is.   YESTERDAY At the last second, my writing appointment with recording artist Spence Hatcher was cancelled, and we rescheduled. Spencer is tearing up the road these days, and is headed to New York today for a couple of shows with country artist Josh Turner.   I'm happy that Spencer is getting that kind of exposure these days. He recently worked with Hank Jr. and Zach Top as well. And when he’s working with those folks, he’s singing our song, “ Hot Weather, Cold Beer ,” which we wrote together and is his current single.     So… since the day opened up, my wife has filled it with grocery shopping. Sigh.   NEW SHOW I just added a private show benefiting the organization Mercy Chefs , which provides gourmet food for disaster rel...

BILL BLOG Tuesday, August 18, 2026   And now we have Tuesday. The temperature will drop just below 90 for the first time in a while here in Nashville. 89 is our high today.   YESTERDAY Monday was a busy day of writing songs. It started with a songwriting session with Alex Miller and Jaelee Roberts , and we chased an idea that Alex had yesterday. Alex plays great guitar, and Jaelee is terrific at throwing out ideas and lots of great lyrics, so it was a great collaborative effort.   We compared calendars after we were done and discovered how busy all three of us are.   Jaelee is part of the group Sister Sadie . She and the girls head to Nebraska the first of September.       Alex will be in my home state of Missouri this weekend, in Higbee, Missouri, to play their County Fair.     And I’ll be in Mountain City, Tennessee this Saturday night with Linda Davis and Lang Scott .    LAST EVENING I got onlin...

BILL BLOG Monday, August 17, 2026      Man, Monday comes around way too soon. We just went through 114 heat index degrees this past weekend, and it’s not cooling off a bit. It’s so hot in Nashville that the biscuits are melting. 95 degree high here today.   THE WEEKEND It was a very non-eventful weekend. I had nothing on the calendar that I had to do, so I didn’t. There was a funny episode where my co-writer buddy Brady Seals made me laugh out loud.   I had posted a picture of singer Ingrid Andress promoting that she was going to be on the Grand Ole Opry.     Ingrid was the young artist who was drunk trying to sing the national anthem at the Major League Baseball All Star Game that was a pretty bad moment for her and her career. If you’ve forgotten, here’s that cringe VIDEO .   So…I posted that if the Opry EVER invited me to sing, that I would have to dress that way as well, I guess. And that’s when my friend Brady posted th...
