I realized that I failed to include the Tornado Relief Resources in my blog post on Friday. This is an on-going need that likely will not be going away anytime soon. The need is far-reaching across the city and across the state. Communities, businesses, people are affected.

The Nashville Scene has this list of volunteer opportunities. 

Here is The Scene's list of how to help and where to get help

Here is a Resource Guide from WXNA


There have been and are going to be numerous benefits shows going on in the days and weeks to come. I wish I had the ability to link to everyone.  For now, I will stick to the "Check Your Local Listings"

Some general things:

Double check before you donate. Unfortunately, there are scammers out there.

If you choose to volunteer, I recommend going through a organized effort - like Hands on Nashville.  If you drive to one of the affected areas - be mindful of where you park - do not block roads - even if there appear closed at the time of your arrival.

If your home is damaged, don't make hasty decisions about seeing - again, there are vultures waiting to take advantage of the situation.

Give what you can, do what you can do, and don't feel guilty about what you can't do.

It does seem like the last 3 months or so have been filled with loss and difficulties. It does have an impact that can be or seem to be cumulative. A small difficulty can feel like it will do you in (following on the heels of bigger losses). So, again, a reminder to talk to someone - get help if you need it, and for goodness sake be good to yourself and to each other.

Tonight, is the celebration of life for David Olney.  One of those losses, many of us have experienced. It is a "Celebration", and I intend to celebrate his life and his art - which moved me so much. But, it will likely also be another reminder of what we have all lost.

Now on to the Music City Monday Shuffle!

    Featured Friday Playlist

A nice fun list for a Monday morning - overcast and warm...

"Dream Dreamer" by Aaron Lee Tasjan (from Karma for Cheap)

First of two tracks from ALT.

Man, Wainwright captures teen angst pretty well. 

"Devil's Hand" by Jonell Mosser and John Hall (from Little Black Dress)

From the same album that played on Greetings from Nashville.  Again, ask Sue to tell you a Jonell Mosser and John Hall story if you find yourself beside her at a bar.

"The Killing Floor - Live" by Walk the West (from Return to Elliston Square Live at Exit/In 2008)

Our last track to feature from The Butcher Papers, but we have some new music from Timothy George.

From the debut album... new music is on the way, and some can be heard on the band's website.
