  *Note: The video playlist at the bottom of the post attempts to closely approximate the shuffle I listened to on my way to work this morning. When a video for a song was not available, I substituted another song by the same artist. When I could not find any videos by an artist, I included a related video or did not include a video for that track. This blog may reference unreleased tracks, however, no unreleased music is ever included.


So, I have created a Spotify Playlist that highlights some of the music featured on E2TG in 2019.  I tried to pick one song for each artist. The playlist is currently over 10 hours long - which means we got to feature a lot of music this year. I will be finalizing the playlist over the long weekend and will use it for my December shuffles - recounting some of my faves of the year.  I think I will also start phasing in some of the new features of E2TG v3.0 which will fully go live in January.  For now, I am going to stay with Blogger but I may move to a new platform later. 

Any way, let's close out this short week with a long Wild Wednesday shuffle that definitely lives up to the name...

First of all, a huge thanks for making the 2019 WXNA Fall Pledge Drive a rousing success!  We met and exceeded our goal!

It is Thanksgiving Week.  I will be posting shuffles through Wednesday and then taking the rest of the week off for the holiday. 

Let's get right into the shuffle.  I think this week will be pretty laid back, but as always great music...

On Monday we shuffle tracks from the Music City Monday Spotify Playlist...

This is my last day to remind you to make a donation to the WXNA Pledge Drive, but the drive runs through Sunday.

Time is marching on, and I am getting ready for a soft launch of E2TG version 3.0 soon.  I am going to make some decisions over the weekend about the timing of the changes.  December is historically the month we review the year that is winding down - which we do in the context of our annual awards - The Earies (tagline: They sound odd, but they really aren't)


Let's jump into this shuffle!

No post tomorrow.  I will be off work.  I am hard at work on the upcoming E2TG reboot.  Before that, we have the end of the year getting closer, and per usual, I feel totally unprepared.

Anyway, here is today's shuffle - enjoy!

Moving on.  We've reached the mid-point of the week.  On Wednesday, we get wild at #E2TG - meaning we shuffle up all the songs I have collected over the years. It can be new songs and older songs, songs from albums we are now or have previously featured on E2TG, songs from my personal collection and odds and ends downloaded and saved over the years. Sometimes, songs come up and I have no idea when or how I added them.  It makes for a fun - wild mix of music - so sit back and enjoy.  (Note: a few songs were not available for the video playlist - so substitute songs by the same artists were added).

Got to check out The Lilliston Effect for a bit at Dee's yesterday afternoon.  They play the Sunday brunch there on a regular basis - for great Sunday afternoon jazz  - check them out.

Last night was a stellar night of the best songwriters that East Nashville has to offer. It was the Nick Nace CD Release Show for Wrestling With the Mystery - which we are covering here.  Darrin Bradbury opened. Great to see him again. He played mostly new songs and songs from his latest album. The new songs are among the best I have heard from him.

Jon Latham was next. It has been a while since I saw Jon solo, and I was reminded of what he can do with just his voice, his guitar, and his songs.

Next, Jon joined Nick's band for a great set of songs. Nick is an incredible songwriter with an easy, charm. Megan Palmer, Erin Nelson, and Katie Blomarz rounded out the wonderful band.

Ryan Sobb and his band closed the night.  Ryan is one of the best and most unique songwriters around, and his power trio - featuring Chase Ballenger and Preston Cochran just seems to get better and better. They earned an encore last night.


Let's move on to the shuffle! It is Music City Monday!

Anyway,  let's close out the week in style with a fine, fine Friday shuffle!
