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...

Trio of Writers...Post CMA...Alligator Bread

BILL BLOG Friday November 22, 2024   Friday…the weekend be here! Little chillier going into the weekend with a high of just 49 today and the low tonight will dip down to 37.   YESTERDAY I rhymed with two friends yesterday Rick Lang and Kristy Cox . Though I have written with both many times, and each of them have recorded songs I’ve written with them, it was the first time the three of us sat down together. And yesterday we wrote a gospel song idea that Rick brought with him…pretty much an entire chorus.      I was able to share with Rick that I heard one of our songs “ Church Bells A Ringin ” that’s on the Blue Collar Gospel Album-Songs of Rick Lang on Sirius-XM on the way to our appointment sung by Danny Paisley and a group of great harmony singers. That was pretty cool.     And we got to celebrate with Kristy for her album “Let It Burn” that’s up for a couple of big Golden Guitar Awards this year including Best Albu...

Turkey Day...Road Schedule...No Degree Jobs

BILL BLOG Friday November 29, 2024   Happy Friday! 32 degrees right now with a high in Nashville today of 43 before dipping to a cold 25 later this evening. Time to put the trap door up. YESTERDAY Anyone else still in a turkey coma after yesterday? My wife and I sat at a long Turkey table with the Scott family and some great friends. We could not have been in better company so thank you Chris & Hillary and Lang and Linda for inviting us.   We certainly missed seeing our daughter Heather again this year and her husband Casey who are stationed overseas with the Army right now. But we were surrounded by people we love.  I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day as well.    SONG OF THE DAY Today I’m sharing a song I wrote with Paul Bogart about his youngest daughter Gentry . Paul lives out in Oklahoma…a real deal cowboy George Strait singing son of a gun. The two of us wrote a song for both of his sons that he recorded...
