I want it to sort one of my categories with the NEWEST first. My problem is with the “Listening To”, I want you to see what I’m listening to when I write, not yesterday’s, or last week’s. Ick. I’ve got an idea, though. It won’t be pretty, but I’ll bet it will work. There, I did …

Late Night
Well, we drove to Maumee, Ohio and saw the Wildwood Valley Boys last night. They did their usual great show. Mike Adams is handling the sound for that series, and it sounded good from our seats. Getting home wasn’t a lot of fun. I lost track of the accidents just after we got into Michigan. …

Like Father, Like Son
All the Grandmas like to see things like this: This is one of Larry and Lisa Efaw’s grandsons. I understand the little guys received little guitars and fiddles at Christmas. This one loves to be on stage. Emcee Charlie Patton made sure this one was out front were we could all get a good look. …

Dailey and Vincent ’08
Somewhere around here I have a campaign style button with the slogan you see above on it. I acquired this simple button, which carries a strong message, in Nashville at the IBMA back in October. Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent made an appearance and began their united careers using several simple techniques to capture fan attention. …

We’re Off!
We are headed for Perrysburg Ohio, just south of Toledo later this morning. A indoor festival has been held there for years. With Larry and Lisa Efaw at the helm, the show is on the way up. This year, the Daily-Vincent band, Bobby Osborne the Hart brothers and many more are playing. It was a …

Hunker Down
There’s a term I haven’t heard in a while, but it is what entered my head this morning. Winter time is a good time to feather one’s nest and hunker down in it. Our children and grandchildren didn’t do that yesterday, and we’re glad of it. We had a very nice family “Christmas” yesterday. One …

Here Comes the Weather
Papa and I had a great trip to Pigeon Forge at the end of last week. We drove home on Sunday, narrowly escaping the ice storm that caused trouble in Northern Ohio and Southeastern lower Michigan. We did see a few accidents, but at the time we went through, a little commen sense would have …

Snow? A Haircut?
Winter finally happened here in the Detroit suburbs. I had to shovel the drive today. Well, I didn’t have to, but it’s always better to keep up on such things. And it’s good exercise. Papa and I are headed out for a long weekend in the Smokie Mountains this afternoon. I guess that’s why the …

It’s Clear and Cold – See the Stars
Tuesday is garbage day at Granny’s. It used to be Monday, but improvements were made in the route, or something. I really don’t remember the whole explanation. Anyway, they start collections at 7, and they mean it. D1 missed the recycling truck one day by not being up early enough. All this means that on …

I’m Back…
I guess I’ve let the blog slip out of my grasp over the past couple of weeks. We helped D2 move. When I got home, I was met with a number of pressing items, not of which was a blog. Ready for Christmas? That what people are asking now. I’m not, but I might be …
