I hadn’t seen The Jayhawks before and they hold a particularly special place in my heart (B and I slow danced to them on our first date). I have to admit, it’s not that I wasn’t expecting to like it, I just wasn’t expecting to be so blown away. It was definitely one of the…

Stuff that works – Christmas edition
Ok. I’ll admit it. I’m a bit of a Scrooge about Christmas music. I think it’s because people start playing it in November these days and I just get sick of it. It’s probably more than that, because I don’t really remember ever liking any Christmas songs. Dolly’s Hard Candy Christmas is good; I’ve always…
Weekly Money Check-up
1. The most I’ve spent this last week was on my boss’s gift for Boss’s Day. My team was supposed to be paying me back, but there are a couple of people that I know won’t. 2. Today I feel disheartened towards money. I’ve been putting more money into my savings and 401K which I know is…
Political correctness?
Why do people brag about being “politically incorrect”? I heard it this morning in a bluegrass song. Now I know that typically country and bluegrass skew to a certain demographic and a bluegrass collaboration with Travis Tritt, even more so, but this lyric struck me: I’m a little rough around the edges I didn’t come…
Week of Bonnaroo and more

Friends on TV
I usually take Saturday mornings to learn a little about what’s going on in popular music, or at least what’s popular on the video front. I don’t ever watch the WHOLE thing, but as I scan the news channels, I do linger on vh1’s Top 20 Countdown to catch a few videos here and there….
Good music
We’ve got quite a bit of good music coming our way soon. Tonight, we’ll see Scott Miller (I can’t remember if it will be & The Commonwealth or not, but either way) at the Disc Exchange for an in-store appearance and then with the Dogwood Arts Festival kicking up, there’s all kinds of good stuff…
Billy Joe Shaver!
I’m really looking forward to seeing Billy Joe Shaver tonight at the Shed at Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson. We went to see Todd Snider there earlier in the year and I really really like the venue. Its completely covered, so if it does rain, we’re still safe and dry! The sound was great when we saw…
