BILL BLOG Thursday, April 16, 2026   Thursday morning, and it’s road trip day to Illinois. More on that later. A comfortable 78 degree high today in Nashville.   YESTERDAY My writing session was with Alex Miller and Mark BonDurant , and both Mark and I were gifted this from Alex.     The brand-new Alex Miller album.     Mark has a song on this album, and I’m blessed to have two songs, including the title track. Pretty cool vinyl gift to play on my little suitcase record player. When’s the last time you saw a YELLOW album? Thank you, Alex.        Alex is going to hold an album listening party at the Texas Troubadour Theater here in Nashville on Thursday night, May 14, at 6:30 pm. It’s free and open to the public. Alex will play every song on the album “live” with a full band, so it should be a very fun evening. Come if you can.   ANOTHER GIFT Alex also told me yesterday that our song “ More Country Th...

BILL BLOG Wednesday, April 15, 2026   Another Hump Day to get over. It’s Wednesday, and it will be warm. The high today in Music City will be 86.   And the taxman cometh.     YESTERDAY Andrea Pearson and I got together and wrote a “barn-burner” of a bluegrass song. VERY up-tempo. Something that gives the “pickers” a chance to show off their skill set.    We are targeting a specific artist who is looking for this kind of song, so fingers are crossed that the artist might like it. Andrea has been in the studio herself lately. She’s going to put out a song and video of a tune the two of us wrote with our friend Wil Nance that will be released over this upcoming Mother’s Day weekend, titled “ When You’ve Got A Good Mama .” All three of us have great “Mama’s.” Wil’s Mama is actually living with him right now, as is Andrea’s. My Mom passed many years ago, but was certainly a “Good Mama.” Can’t wait to share this song over Mama’s Day weekend...

BILL BLOG Tuesday, April 14, 2026   Tuesday morning it is. It’s going up to 86 degrees in Nashville today.   YESTERDAY I spent part of my Monday getting familiar with our county landfill. We’ve done some trimming and cutting in our yard, and our local trash collectors don’t seem to want to haul it away. Sigh.   So, I made a 45-minute journey to a huge landfill, paid a fee, and then drove a mile and a half at 10 mph on a long, dusty gravel road. My SUV needs three baths now and an industrial-sized Hoover to clean it up again.   I learned to drive on a gravel road in Missouri. Three on the column transmission in an old Ford pickup with a cap on the back that my Dad owned. There were lots of gravel roads to drive on at the time. I’ve decided that asphalt is a pretty good idea after yesterday.   And that’s the trashy story of my journey yesterday.   UP AHEAD Here’s a peek at where I’ll be from now until the end of June.   This...
