Carolina Shows...Thanksgiving Travel...Simulator Hotel

BILL BLOG

Tuesday November 19, 2024

 

Tuesday morning dark and early in Nashville. A little light rain in the forecast in Nashville today with a high of 68 expected.

 

YESTERDAY

It was kind of a lazy day after returning from a road trip to Ohio for a show with Linda Davis & Lang Scott on Saturday night.



 

It’s always great fun to travel with those two and our “Evening in the Round” show…and of course it’s always good to get back home with a bag full of great memories…and it’s good to get home and sleep in your own bed.

 

Our next trip together will be for two shows in the Carolina’s.

 

Saturday night January 18 we will be in Kill Devils Hills, North Carolina for a 7:30 pm show at First Flight High School. (Yep…we’re in Orville and Wilbur country)


 

 

Then Sunday evening January 19 we’ll be in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for 7 pm concert at the Greg Rowles Legacy theater with our friends Darin & Brooke Aldridge. 


 

 

SONG OF THE DAY

Today it’s something from my friend Lauren Mascitti “Never Been In Love Like This” that the two of us wrote with Wil Nance. Lauren included on her album “God Made A Woman” that received a lot of critical acclaim from multiple locations including the New York Times. Some kind of great country singer she is.


 

 

HEALTH NOTES

A new study says sitting too much is linked to heart disease even if you work out.

 

Get this. A new study suggests that the COVID-19 virus could attack cancer cells and shrink rumors.

 

New research is suggesting that white button mushroom extract may help slow progression of prostate cancer.

 

 

THE TRUTH HURTS SOMETIMES



 

TURKEY DAY

They’re saying 80 million folks will travel over the Thanksgiving holiday this year. 71.7 million will be by car. That’s more than some pre-Covid numbers they’re saying. Meanwhile only 1 person will be traveling this way on Thanksgiving.



 

WHAT TO BUY FOR CHRISTMAS

I never have an idea as to what to get for my wife or friends. Black Friday deals have popped up so I’m looking.

 

Maybe this mini-phone the size of a credit card?



 

Or a ring watch so I can look at my middle finger and know what time I should raise it?



 

Or maybe an adult Lego set to build a danged typewriter?



 

Still looking. I could use some help Santa.

 

HOW COOL IS THIS

The US Air Force Academy hotel out in Colorado now has 3 flight simulators. So when you book a room you can try your hand at flying.



 

Now that’s what I call a hotel “perk”!

 

HEADLINE OF THE DAY
Florida Man Tries Trading Live Gator For Beer. (File that one under “a man walks into a bar with a gator”.)

 

 

TODAY

Back writing this morning with bluegrasser Troy Engle up in Pennsylvania. Always a pleasure rhyming stuff with Troy.


 

 

Have a great Tuesday!

A Bluebird Show...New Album In The Mail...An Interview With An Old Friend

BILL BLOG Tuesday November 26, 2024   Tuesday morning…couple days away from carving the turkey. 50 for the high today here in Music City…bracing for some cold weather on the way.   YESTERDAY I had nothing musical on the calendar yesterday…but had one of those “had to do” things that took up a chunk of my day. Sometimes you can’t control a calendar…the calendar controls you and give you no choice. But there was some good news that came rolling in.   NEW SHOW On Tuesday January 28 I’ll be hosting a songwriter round at the world famous Bluebird Café. And the great part about this news is that I’m going to be able to add my longtime friend Brent Burns to this show…something that’s been a bucket list item for him.   And I’m so glad that I’m the one who will get to make this happen for him. EVERY songwriter wants to play the Bluebird. And somehow, even though my friend lived in Nashville and wrote very seriously for a long while, he ne...

Quiet New Year...Ray Stevens...A Look Back

BILL BLOG January 1, 2025   Wednesday…bring with it the very first day of a New Year. Time flies don’t it?   YESTERDAY A lazy New Year’s Eve day around the Whyte House. My wife and I called our daughter Heather over in Germany to wish her a Happy Birthday…yep a New Year’s Eve kid. She and her husband Casey were in a theme park in the Netherlands called “Efteling” to celebrate the occasion. The two of them took us there when we were over in Germany last year so in our minds at least…we could picture where they were at. More on the Germany trip at the end of today’s Blog in the “Looking Back” section.   TWEAKING I also spent a little time on the phone with producer-writer-singer Jerry Salley who is recording a song I helped write with my friend Andrea Pearson tweaking some lyrics of that song that young-talented bluegrass artist Caroline Owens is getting ready to record on her next album. Heck of an up-tempo tune and we wanted to make s...

Fast Writing...Chart Action...Fun Duet

BILL BLOG Friday January 3, 2025   Friday morning and here comes the first weekend of the New Year. 42 for the high today but the forecast is showing we might get some rain and snow on Sunday. Nobody round here need that.   YESTERDAY I wrote with Thomm Jutz out at his house studio east of Nashville. Good stuff always seems to happen when I write with him. And yesterday was no exception. I brought a start to a song he liked, and we were finished in an hour I’d say and then recorded the song. Tom is such a tasty guitarist and he always makes anything I have mucho better.   And Thomm and I share the fact that we are both fast writers. As I packed up my guitar and walked out of the studio he joking said, “the only problem writing with you is that it takes SOOOO long.”    Good day of rhyming.   CHART Glad to see our song “ God Never Made A Mountain” by Kristy Cox , written with Andrea Pearson and Josh Shilling is still han...
