Thursday morning already. We had a small storm roll through last night. Big enough to knock our power out for an hour or so in the middle of the night. Today, a high of 80 with a little more rain on tap this morning.
YESTERDAY
I wrote with Lauren Mascitti & Kristen Leigh Bearfield at the publishing company. Both girls sing great, and they both sing great harmony. I brought an idea that needed some three-part harmony that they loved, and that’s what we wrote, and then recorded before we left. Such a pleasure to hear either of them sing.
Kristen brought her mandolin, which was a perfect instrument to use for the kind of song we wrote. Think about some of those old songs from The Trio with Dolly, Emmy Lou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt.
It was so much fun singing a harmony part with the two of them. And now, we’ll try to find a home for the new tune if we can.
FREEDOM SINGS USA
I want to share one last picture from my Memorial Day weekend in Pensacola with Freedom Sings USA. This picture shows every songwriter and the veteran they wrote with. Mine was Larry Hudson who is standing right next to me with his signed poster from the event.
And our next Freedom Sings USA event is coming right up as you'll see in this next section.
SCHEDULE AHEAD
Here’s a peek at where I’ll be performing over the next couple of months.
June 17 & 18 in Heyworth, Illinois with Freedom Sings USA at the American Legion.
June 25 at the Bluebird Café in Nashville with hit songwriters Wil Nance, Brian White, and Jimmy Fortune.
July 25 in Louisiana, Missouri, for the Legends and Liberty Festival down on the riverfront. And yes, I’ll be singing “Mo Mo” The Missouri Monster once again.
July 8 at the Listening Room Café in Nashville with Alex Miller, Ben Klick, and Turk McNamara
You can find more details on these shows and others under the “Tour” tab here on my website.
SONG OF THE DAY
Since I wrote with Lauren and Kristen yesterday, I’m going to share the song the three of us wrote that Darin & Brooke Aldridge recorded, “Where You’ll Find Me”. We’re pretty sure this will be the new single from Darin and Brooke, which should be out soon…and yes, the three of us are excited about that.
HEALTH NOTES
A study finds that smoking weed and consuming THC-laced edibles are linked to early heart disease.
Experts claim that tennis is the world’s healthiest sport, and is unmatched when it comes to promoting mental health as well.
A new study claims that losing weight in middle age could reduce chronic diseases later.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
Pretty sure that’s right for a lot of us.
ALOHA CHARGE
Hawaii is going to charge a climate fee now for all tourists. They will charge a .75% increase to their accommodations tax that will raise 100 million dollars yearly to help fight climate change.
And…they should install another tax for anyone coming over and making a “lei” joke.
MEANWHILE IN TURKEY
That country is going to start fining airplane passengers who unfasten their seatbelts too early, open the overhead bins prematurely, and then stand and clog the aisles. Don’t you hate that?
And then they don’t get to the front of the line any faster. Stay seated or pay a fine if you’re in or out of Istanbul.
D I V O R C E
Did you know that there are divorce coaches? They charge up to $300 an hour to guide couples through splitting up. True. There are also bakeries that can whip up a divorce cake if you’d like.
CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE
Yesterday was National Hamburger Day and with that came the ranking for favorite burger places from the folks at Yelp. Here are their top 5 selections.
5…Islands Fine Burgers & Drinks. (Found in California and Arizona)
4…Culvers
3…Shake Shack
2…Habit Burger & Grill (Another California burger place)
And Yelp’s number one choice is:
1…In-N-Out Burger. (Getting ready to open multiple locations here in Nashville.)
HEADLINE OF THE DAY

TODAY
Nothing big on the calendar today. Time to catch up on “catching up” stuff.
Have a great Thursday!
