Monday December 16, 2024
And another Monday has rolled around. 62 for a high today and with that we’re going to get soaked with some warm rain.
THE WEEKEND
Pretty relaxed around the Whyte House…but preparing for a very busy week starting today. Our tree is up and lit and I finished my Christmas shopping. Hooray for that. Watched some football on the couch and my wife and I watched the new version of “Best Christmas Pageant Ever” that was on Prime and has been in movie theaters for the Christmas season. I describe it heartwarming.
It reminded me of being in the little Christmas pageant at the New Hope Baptist Church back in Missouri where I grew up. I don’t remember for sure…but I’m pretty sure I was a shepherd. And I’m sure my brothers and sisters had parts as well. My Mom played the piano…so there are special memories that popped up after watching the film.
ON THE RADIO
I’m going to be back on 650 AM WSM Radio a week from today on Monday December 23. This time as a guest on the Coffee Country and Cody Show hosted by Hall of Famer Bill Cody along with my friend Charlie Mattos who used to produce the show when I was on the air at WSM filling in for Bill Cody. Kelly Sutton is now part of this morning show as well on the Grand Ole Opry radio station.
I’m going to be on air at 9:15 AM Nashville time along with my friend Lauren Mascitti to promote the two shows on December 28 at Main and Monroe in Lexington, Tennessee.
We’ll sing a couple of tunes and have fun plugging the show. If you’d like to listen that morning you can do that at wsmonline.com
SHOWS AFTER THAT
Here’s the schedule through January after the WSM Radio Appearance.
December 28 at Main and Monroe mentioned above.
January 11 a private house concert in Nashville with Wil Nance & Lauren Mascitti.
January 18 I’m in Kill Devils Hill for a show with Linda Davis and Lang Scott at First Flight High School.
January 19 in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with Linda and Lang opening a show for my talented friends and co-writers Darin & Brooke Aldridge.
January 28 at the Bluebird Café with Steve Dean, Victoria Venier and my friend Brent Burns who gets to play at the Bluebird for the first time ever. Should be a special night.
For more info on these shows and others check out the TOUR section of my website.
SONG OF THE DAY
I’m choosing the Christmas song “Santa Boat” that Brent Burns recorded. This song was my idea that we wrote together about Santa showing up to deliver his presents each year on the Gulf Coast in his “Santa Boat.” I’ve always thought if I could find time this could be developed into a children’s book with animated pictures.

HEALTH NOTES
A report claims that incurable ‘highly contagious’ STD affects nearly 900 million people under age 50.
The US obesity rates have dropped for the first time in a decade likely to popularized weight loss medications like Ozempic.
Another study is saying that thing more harmful than adding sugar in drinks is not consuming any sugar at all.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
Yep…I’m guessing Mary may have been a little annoyed.
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
President elect Donald Trump is saying he will get rid of Daylight Savings Time.
First…I’m hate politics.
Second…would anyone object to that?
I’ve never understood why we change our danged clocks. I lived in Indiana for a couple of years and it was a pleasure NOT doing that. And I don’t know that I’ve ever had a conversation with anyone who thinks changing the clock is a great idea.
DRONING ON
Nobody seems to know what to do with the drones seemingly showing up everywhere. And with no real explanation as to where they’re coming from.
I’m not financial adviser…but I don’t think you’d lose money in the stock market right now if you invested in Winchester or Remington.
CHRISTMAS CAR VIOLATION
Well, you can decorate the tree, you can decorate the lawn, but you can’t decorate your car at Christmas like this.
At least not in Wyoming. The driver got pulled over and was reminded of this statute on the books out there.
“As the holiday season approaches, we would like to remind you of a Wyoming statue [sic],” the post reads, “no person shall drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon any highway with a lamp or device theron capable of displaying a red or blue light visible from directly in front of center or thereof.”
If I were Rudolph, I’d dim that red nose a bit as well when he’s leading the sleigh over Wyoming this year.
NOTHING BETTER TO DO
Two guys just rolled into Time Square few days ago after skateboarding across the country in 76 days.
I’m betting one said to the other one day, ‘Dude…you know what would really be cool”?
FUNNY GIFTS TO GIVE
For the waffle lover on your Christmas gift list.
Or the Catholic on your list…
Or how about an Apple Smartwatch?
HEADLINE OF THE DAY

TODAY
I’m off to write a funny Christmas song idea that was sent to me by a friend. He’s not really a songwriter, but I like the idea enough to want to help him tackle it. We’ll see how that turns out.
Have great Monday!
