Thursday morning has rolled around and it’s Opening Day for baseball! Guess who’s happy about that? 68 and sunny tonight!
YESTERDAY
We had a beautiful Tuesday in Nashville. Perfect weather. I had the day off so my wife Kathy and I stocked up groceries like Armageddon was on its way. And now we’re at a point where not everything is at one grocery store. So I end up pushing a cart with wobbly wheel in not one but TWO grocery stores! Sad.
Then I got a little much-needed gym time in just to remind myself how out of shape I am. Pretty exciting Tuesday huh?
SONG OF THE DAY
I thought I’d share another Jenny Tolman song today as this song “If You Can’t Stand the Heat” will be used on the new talent contest called “The Road” produced by Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan out on CBS this Fall. And it will also feature Keith Urban. This is a song I wrote with Jenny and her husband Dave Brainard from an idea I had that I thought might fit her playful nature. Turns out it did. They will be using a part of our song come this Fall. And I’m excited about that course.

HEALTH NOTES
California is looking to ban anti-aging products for kids. (Wait…a 6-year-old wants to look younger?)
A study is suggesting that eating yogurt daily could reduce the risk of cancer.
Some dentists say that using baking soda instead of toothpaste could be a good thing. It can help remove plaque. But they warn it could be harsh on your teeth and gums at the same time. (What I remember about brushing my teeth with baking soda when I was a kid was wondering where Mom and Dad hid the Colgate tube.)
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
Pretty sure I know what the blurred-over word is.
OPENING DAY!
Oh yea. The real first sign of Spring is the first pitches in Major League baseball parks. My Reds play the Giants tonight in Cincinnati home the greatest Opening Day Parade ever.
I’ve had the pleasure of going to several opening days.
Many for the Reds and a few for the Milwaukee Brewers when I did radio in
Milwaukee. It was snowing lightly on my first Opening Day sitting in old County
Stadium in Milwaukee. That’s why they have a roof on that stadium now.
Heck, their scoreboard back then was black and white. And I saw Bernie Brewer the mascot go sliding down into that mug of beer for the first time during an Opening Day game when the Brewers hit a home run.
Give me a hot dog and a beer! Here’s to the boys of summer today. Play ball!
THEM AND US
That Amazon Prime guy Jeff Bezos is getting married in Venice. Not a cheap city for a wedding folks. Beautiful, but expensive.
His 500 million dollar yacht will be used to ferry the A-List guests to wherever it is he and Lauren Sanchez will say their wedding vows. Rooms in Venice start at about $3,000 a night. And he spent over 2 million bucks on her engagement ring. 20 carats worth of bling.
I’d bet the ranch that Amazon Prime trucks will float down the canal and deliver the cake and champagne bottles.
MORE FLYING WOES
At DFW authorities had to go after a woman who stripped naked in the terminal and went on a stabbing and biting spree. Wow.
Pretty sure she’s part of a Frequent Naked Flyer Program for some airline. Surely.
Some are speculating that she could be the next wife for Kanye West. Uh huh.
ANOTHER NASHVILLE BAR
We have no shortage of celebrity honkytonks in Nashville and they just keep adding more. The latest will be a Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre bar in what used to be the old George Jones Museum here in Music City. If you get tired of “twang” you can go down the street for something different.
A FIND
Rob Frith who owns a record label named Neptoon was browsing in a record store years ago in Vancouver and bought a reel of tape that turned out to be the Beatles audition tape for Decca Records. He finally listened to it years later and was amazed at the quality. Turns out it was the real deal audition tape. No telling what it’s worth but Rob says he will not sell it. Now that’s some kind of find.
WINDY
The weather service folks are warning of a lot of tropical storms and up to as many as 18 hurricanes this year down on the coast. They predict that 3 to six of those could hit Category 3 or higher. Seems like a good place to share the Jim Cantore Song that my friend Brent Burns and I wrote.
FIREBALL
How about this for a giveaway. Fireball Whiskey will give away a lifetime supply of their cinnamon-flavored whiskey. But there’s a catch. You have to be 90 or older to enter the contest. Good luck to all!
As we get older we’re less afraid to express what we’re thinking. Imagine a 90-year-old expressing what THEY are thinking after getting fueled up on Fireball Whiskey. Give them a podcast!
HEADLINE OF THE DAY
Ghost Girl Causes Tractor Trailer Rollover on Mexican Highway. (Who ya gonna call?)
TODAY
I’m writing for the first time ever today with a great country-bluegrass writer Daryl Mosley. He was the International Bluegrass Singer of the Year just a couple of years ago AND he’s been awarded the Songwriter of the Year Award 4 different years. Here’s an EXAMPLE of his music.
TONIGHT
My wife and I are headed to the Grand Ole Opry to watch our friend Linda Davis tear it up as part of a great girl lineup tonight that includes Lorrie Morgan and Mandy Barnett.
It’s always fun to wander around backstage and then go out front to hear someone that talented do her thing.
Have a great Thursday!
