Thinking about the human beings who are or who possibly will be affected by Hurricane Irma and those still reeling from Harvey. Thinking of those whose lives are in turmoil because of political gamesmanship and inhuman policies. Thinking of those suffering loss of any kind. Thinking how my problems can seem insurmountable until I can step back and keep things in perspective.
Thinking and figuring out actions to take to go with those thoughts.
It's Thursday and today's shuffle literally covers the entire history of E2TG from Artists I wrote about in the earliest days of the blog in 2011 to those I just learned about recently. Enjoy!

So, I have a serious question... with mounting evidence of collusion with the Russians to alter the results of the U.S. Presidential Elections and the clear indications of officials lying about it, is there not anything that can be done to minimize the damage this administration can do before this matter is fully investigated and adjudicated? I'm thinking about long-term things like the Supreme Court nomination....
********************************************************************************
Man - allergies or whatever really laid me low last night. (knock on wood), I am feeling better today.
Today is Wednesday - the day we shuffle up ALL of the songs stored in the memory on my phone. I call it Wild Wednesday. Today we have some recent releases and some older releases.
Let's see where this shuffle takes us.

Theme Thursday Morning Shuffle - Straight to Hell Mix

Hey all, I am short on time so my comments will be brief. But, I am unveiling a new feature today. Theme Thursday. Each Thursday I will shuffle songs especially selected for a theme which will change monthly. I am not going to reveal the theme and I do need to say that in some cases the content of the songs fits the theme and sometimes it is just the title phrase which may or may not be interpreted as intended in the song. I don't know how else to explain that. Basically, in some cases, I selected the song for the theme based solely upon a possible interpretation of the title (which may or may not be the intended interpretation). In any event, if you figure out the theme - please know that any songs inclusion does not imply the artists intent or agreement with my theme topic). Whew! It will all be clear as we go on, or it will not.

Earie Wednesday Morning Shuffle - The Meridian Mix

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. We are back for the final three shuffles of 2016, and the final "Earie" awards for 2016. I hit a bit of a panic late last week when I realized how quickly the end of the year was approaching and I kept remembering people who deserved "Earie" awards. I will go ahead and say (as I did last year), I know I am probably going to fail to give some people "Earies" who really should get one. I blame my lack of organizational skills combined with my muddled mind. Truth is, if I have posted your music in 2016, I really dig your music. Deal?
To help things along, I created an end of year playlist that is heavily weighted with potential "Earie" winners - along with a few who have already won an award. I am going to shuffle from this list for the rest of the week/month/year.

Featured Friday Morning Shuffle - Wild Living Mix

Greetings from the end of the working week... Last night, a really great night of music at The Basement East. Harrison Whitford, who I have been impressed with since the first time I saw him - opened. His music has really matured (I think that is the word I am looking for) since I first saw him nearly a year and a half ago. Not that it was immature. Just that he has grown as an artist since then.
Next up, reigning (or about a month more) E2TG Artist of the Year, Jon Latham absolutely destroyed with a full band set that included Andrew Leahey and Sean Quinn on guitar and Raun Schultz on drums. Moving through songs from his debut, Real Bad News and newer songs including songs from his forthcoming album, Lifers. As he always does, Latham commanded the stage.
And what can I say about Bobby Bare Jr.. Joined by Harrison Whitford on guitar - Bare Jr ripped through an incredible set that included some old favorites plus a new song he wrote for the forthcoming Guided By Voices album, an older GBV song, and he closed with a rip-roaring version of "Cover of the Rolling Stone".
It is Friday and we have a shuffle from our "New Music" playlist. Let's jump in...

Okay. I'm a little short on time. First of all, last night as I posted, I went to see Megan Palmer, Nellie Clay, and Courtney Marie Andrews at The City Winery. They performed in the round, and it was a really great show. I have been a fan of Palmer and Clay for some time, but I believe it was my first time seeing Courtney Marie Andrews. I really dug her songs, and the three songwriters complemented each other nicely.
Tonight, I will be in the WXNA studios to help with the pledge drive. There is some cool stuff (as always) going on at $2 Tuesdays. Patrick Kinsley and a Fistful of Dollars are playing and promise some new material.
On to the shuffle...

Well... here we are... I know there were some pre-Americana shows around town last night, but tonight things officially begin. Unfortunately, due to circumstances yada yada, I will be severely limited in my ability to attend daytime events during the week, and as a caveat as I post recommendations, please understand, I will not necessarily be able to attend every one (although I would like to). Today - I have two recommendations: 1. The Green Room Music hosts an AMA Party at Fond Object beginning at 3:30 with some familiar names like Ben de la Cour, Tim Easton, Anne McCue, Amy Speace, Kevin Gordon and more. If you can make any of that, you should! 2. The Beast hosts Better Together: Americana Fest Eastside Kickoff Party - brought to by the Guitartown and Sin City (who put on last year's shindig that was for me one of the highlights of the whole fest). Hard to imagine, but they just may have outdone themselves this year. Aaron Lee Tasjan and Friends (lots of familiar names are friends with ALT), Chuck Mead and Friends (Chuck Mead has some really cool friends, too), and Lee Ann Womack and her All-Star band. They are holding back some big names, and there are tons of people in town. I really would not recommend missing this if at all possible. 8:00p.m. is the start time, but I would plan to arrive early - this one will reach capacity (I do believe). Included with Wristband/AMA credentials. Rumor has it that Darrin Bradbury will be spinning tunes in the Pub before the show along with Basement East booker extraordinaire Terry Rickards.
Much more to come...
It is Tuesday - let's check out what the ol' shuffle says is trending at E2TG....

Okay... here we go. The good thing about starting you work week on Wednesday is that you suddenly find yourself at Thursday! First things first.
Really enjoyed night one of Amelia White's September Residency at The 5 Spot. Jesse and Noah opened with some new songs, some old songs, and a nifty Donovan cover. Amelia White and the Blue Souvenirs were awesome as always - Parker Hawkins, Fran Breen, Paul Neihaus, and Dave Coleman. We really are spoiled here in Nashville by all the great players. Amelia debuted some new songs in addition to playing some of my favorites. She threw in an awesome cover of "Silver Wings" - a song by the late Merle Haggard that I was introduced to by The Knitters.
Tonight, Mark Robinson's September Residency at The 5 Spot continues. The band will include Rick Schell and Daniel Seymour, and the special guests will be Mark Huff and Webb Wilder! Seriously, do not miss this show if at all possible!
Since, I missed Trending Tuesday, and since I have an overabundance of "new music", I am going to forgo Throwback Thursday for this week only and present a rare Trending Thursday shuffle... enjoy!
