Hello Tuesday. Warm today in Music City. A high of 84 with some light rain expected here today.
YESTERDAY
I wrote with Alex Miller again yesterday at my publishing company, and we tackled an idea that he brought with him in his back pocket. We’ve still got some polishing to do on this one, but it’s always fun getting to sit and create something with Alex.
He shared with me that several of those little video teases of the song “More Country Than You” that he and Emily Ann Roberts recorded have each had over a million streams. I had no idea. Here’s one of those VIDEOS to check out.
So that was some good news to go along with the new song we wrote for sure.
THURSDAY NIGHT
If you are in or near town this Thursday evening, come join me, Steve Dean & Victoria Venier for a 6 pm dinner show at the Listening Room Café. A truly great listening room experience. We hope to see you at this “Hits & Grins” show.
JUDGING
I’m happy to be a judge of singer-songwriters competing for a prize that will benefit St. Jude’s.
I received my first video entry yesterday and expect up to as many as 20 or so that two other judges and myself will review and ultimately vote for the winner. If the rest of the entries sound as good as the first en,try I just listened to it’s going to be hard to select just one winner.
SONG OF THE DAY
Today I’m sharing “In Memphis” that our “Hits & Grins” trio wrote together one day on a trip to Little Rock while we were stuck in traffic trying to get over the bridge into Arkansas. Outside our left window was downtown Memphis and Beale Street. And to our right was the world’s largest Bass Pro Store in the world.
We wound up performing that song that very night at our Little Rock show. Then “Hit’s & Grins” recorded it, as did Jeannie Kendall, and so did the TnT Duo that features Victoria Venier from our “Hits & Grins” trio along with her amazing partner Tabitha Fair. Complete with a horn section!
HEALTH NOTES
A new study claims that exercise can boost brain power.
PepsiCo has announced it will remove artificial ingredients from popular snacks by the end of this year.
A paralyzed man with ALS is the third patient to receive the NeuraLink implant that will allow him to type with his brain.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
True.
DRONING ON
How about this BILLION dollar drone the Navy launched off an aircraft carrier yesterday? Massive.
Makes you wonder if one day there won’t be passenger drones with no pilots like the self-driving cars that are hitting the roads these days. I’m guessing the drone airline attendants will look like this.
CLEVER
An Atlantic City Hotel put this on their marquee. “We’ll Give You 8 to 5 Odds You Enjoy Your Stay”.
YELLOWSTONE
It turns out that producer Taylor Sheridan almost turned down making Yellowstone. He and Paramount couldn’t agree initially on how to make the series, and he almost walked away from the deal.
It was a good thing he didn’t, as the Yellowstone brand is now worth 3 BILLION dollars.
HEADLINE OF THE DAY
Mount Fuji Climber Rescued TWICE In One Week After Going Back To Retrieve His Cellphone From Japan’s Tallest Peak. (Proof of how addicted we are to those things)
TODAY
I’m writing for the second time today with bluegrass great Daryl Mosely, who has won more bluegrass awards than I can count. Looking forward to that.
Have a great Tuesday!
