Computer Issues...Couch Concert...Bonanza

BILL BLOG

Tuesday February 4, 2025

 

Tuesday morning with cloudy skies and a high of 60 in Nashville today. It was like spring done sprung yesterday with sunshine and temps in the mid 70’s. Beautiful.

 

YESTERDAY

I wound up having a lazy day when my co-writer Andrea Pearson had to cancel because of strep throat, which is zero fun. So I’m hoping she’s healing a little today.

 

I spent the rest of the day dealing with computer issues as my laptop has crashed and burned which is why this morning’s Blog is being posted later than normal. I’m hoping the computer God’s will have mine fixed sometime today. Amazing how you feel like your entire life revolves around a danged computer.

 

LAST NIGHT

I participated in a little house concert in town hosted by Ginny Foley who’s a friend and true lover of original music. She does everything she can to promote that and hosts songwriters in her home several times a year. Last night I was there with a great family bluegrass band Williamson Branch.



 

Man it was a pleasure to hear this family pick and sing. One of the daughter’s was missing as she’s about to deliver her first baby. But all three of the girls are so talented musically and vocally. Here’s a little EXAMPLE of what they do.

 

Thank you Ginny for having me on your couch last night.


 

 

MORE COUNTRY THAN YOU
I’m happy to see so many folks checking out the duet from my friends Alex Miller and Emily Ann Roberts “More Country Than You”. Click the link if you’ve not yet heard this fun bickering between the two about whose more country that the three of us wrote.

 

Yesterday they posted this picture about how maybe they should have won a “Country Grammy” over Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus.



 

I’m voting for Alex and Emily.

 

SONG OF THE DAY

Today I’m selecting the fun song “If There Was No Alcohol” that Rob Bellamy recorded. The idea was Rob’s who wanted a beachy type bar sing along type of song. Imagine what the world would be without having something to toast or celebrate with. That’s the gist of this tune.



 

HEALTH NOTES

A recent U.K. study suggests that wearing continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) could lower the risk of dementia.

 

Some Gerber teeth products have been recalled over potential choking hazards for children.

 

A study says older adults experience fewer attention difficulties if the temperature inside their homes is between 68-75 degrees.

 

HERE’S YOUR SIGN



 I’m afraid to book an appointment to find out.

 

BONANZA?

The new head of the Department of Homeland Security saddled up near the border yesterday.



 

Did anyone else think it looked like a casting call for a reboot of the old TV western “Bonanza”?  Just me?



 

HAD TO HAPPEN

State Farm is asking for a 20% home increase rate in California after the massive wildfires and damages there. There’s a reason insurance companies make a lot of money.

 

SPEAKING OF HIGHER

Waffle House is adding a surcharge of 50 cents on every egg ordered now to help offset the high price of eggs because of the bird flu. So I guess I’m having the scattered and expensive for a while.

 

SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL

One more that we’ll be seeing Super Bowl Sunday when the Eagles and Chiefs square off in New Orleans. This one starring Ben Affleck and his brother Casey in yet another Dunkin’ Donut commercial.

 

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ORDER

So this guy orders a drill from an online China website. Look what he got back.



 

Uh huh. Be careful what you order online folks.

 

THE CITY KEEPS GROWING

Nashville just put in a bid for a WNBA basketball team. Basketball star Candace Parker has teamed up with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw and the Governor of Tennessee to try and make that happen.

 

Meanwhile the Governor also said at the press conference that he does believe Nashville will get a Major League Baseball team one day. Yes! I only hope it’s sooner than later. There’s nothing more fun that sitting in a ballpark with a $12 dollar beer in your hand rooting on the home team. We’ll see what happens.

 

HEADLINE OF THE DAY

Determined Beau Proposed To Girlfriend On Chaotic Flight With Unruly Passenger Duct Taped Beside Them. (You can’t make this kind of stuff up)

 

TODAY

I’ll be sitting by the phone hoping the computer shop calls to tell me they have fixed my computer without losing any data. Fingers are firmly crossed.

 

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...

A Duo Write...Wienermobile Applications...Love Tom

BILL BLOG Thursday December 19, 2024   Thursday morning has arrived and after some heavy rain here in Nashville yesterday it will cool off to a high of just 45 today.   YESTERDAY I had such a fun write with 2/3rds of the “ Three Times A Lady ” trio.   That would be Victoria Camp and a pregnant Kennedy Scott . Kennedy is due about the first of May of next year…and her baby bump is growing. She and the trio will be playing several weeks in a row at Dollywood come next March…so that will be an interesting challenge for her for sure.   And it was Kennedy who brought in a very cool idea that we wrote together after Victoria came up with an almost “swampy” kind of melody to fit under the lyrics. Got a pretty good feeling this one will be on their next album. Yep, a good day.   SONG OF THE DAY I’ve posted this song before but it seems appropriate to make it today’s song of the day after talking about the “Three Times A Lady”. ...
