BILL BLOG Thursday, October 22, 2026 Good morning. A busy day ahead here in beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama. The high today will be 78. YESTERDAY This entire Gulf Coast trip I've been on has been filled with perfect weather, and yesterday was no exception. I managed to soak in the view, and the sun before I played a crazy-fun 3-hour show at Lulu's with my long time crazy friend Brent Burns last evening. We had a great crowd of locals, and Parrot Heads who are here for the big festival. It's always fun getting to play at Jimmy Buffett's sister's place, Lulu's.  NEW SHOWS I'm always adding new shows to my calendar. Yesterday I added 4 more with Linda Davis and Lang Scott for our " Evening in the Round " show. April 11 in Marietta, Georgia. April 15 & 16...two shows at the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre in North Carolina.  And then October 22 of 2027 we will play at the beautiful Reserve Golf Club in Pawley Island, South Carolina.

BILL BLOG Wednesday, October 21, 2026 Good morning for Gulf Shores, Alabama where today's high will be a comfortable 76 degrees with sunshine.  YESTERDAY It was another gorgeous day here in LA, Lower Alabama. It was day one of MOTM , the big Parrot Head Festival here in Gulf Shores.  I had nothing on my agenda yesterday so I slipped down to Lulu's   and watched my friend Brent Burns welcome some the Trop Rock friends, and acts to his stage. Brent will be doing this all week long.  Hopefully, he won't be trying to play the congas all week.  While I was at Lulu's I ran into another Trop Rocker, Donny Brewer , who was hosting is own show after Brent's , and he asked if I would come back and sing a couple of songs last evening at his show...which I was happy to do. All of the Parrot Head have gathered here for sure. SONG OF THE DAY Since I mentioned Donny, here's a funny song I helped him write that he sang last night, one that always makes the crowd laugh, " ...

BILL BLOG Tuesday, October 19, 2026 Good morning from beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama where the high temperature will be a perfect 74 degrees. Postcard like weather here on the Gulf.  CATCHING UP My computer crashed when I was in Port St. Joe for the Blast on the Bay Songwriters Festival this past weekend, but my friend Brent Burns, whom I'm staying with has loaned me his for the next cople of days. So, here's the short version highlights.  I played three great songwriter shows, big crowds at all of them.   This is one of my very favorite festivals to play every year. I had great shows with a lot of really great songwriter friends, and made some new friends with other writers that were in one of my rounds.  Sunday was my last of the three shows, and as I walked to my car to load up my guitar, this bad boy showed up. Fortunately he was not hungry for songwriter, so I managed to sneak the guitar into my car and go before he got any ideas. Thank you to Lynn Marshall...
