We move on into the second half of 2019.  It is Monday and so we celebrate the music of Nashville with our weekly Music City Monday Shuffle.  Music from Nashville, from people who now live in Nashville (even if they lived somewhere else when the music was made), and people who used to live in Nashville.   It is Music City Monday if I say it is!

Week 3 of the E2TG 7th Anniversary Residency is this coming Thursday. Look for an eclectic mix of of some of my favorite artists/bands in Nashville.  Things are going to kick off just after 6:00pm with Brian Milligram, The Coal Men are up next, and Microwave Mountain close out the night.  These are some of the best that Nashville has to offer. Admission is just $5.00, Must be 21+ (with valid ID) to get into The 5 Spot. I hope you will join us.

I will be reading another short section of The Drift, and I will have a (very) few copies of my novel for sale. (I had a great sales day last Thursday, and my next order likely will not be here by this Thursday,  I hope to have them in time for the residency finale on June 28. 

THE DRIFT is still for sale at Amazon.com.

Well, it is Monday, and time for another edition of Music City Monday - where we shuffle up a ginormous playlist of locally sourced music from past and present. Let's jump right into the shuffle:

The crazy weather continues (not just in Nashville, I know).  We had temps in the 80's at the end of last week, rain all day Saturday, cooler weather Sunday, and cold weather with a few snow flurries this morning.  Temps are supposed to be up into the 70's later in the week. I say this not to give a weather report, but to say, the change in weather has really had an effect on the state of how I feel - so I laid pretty low most of the weekend - except to help celebrate my radio DJ partner - Sue's birthday on Sunday. It was a wonderful time with wonderful people at a wonderful place (Dee's). 

Now, it is time for Music City Monday shuffle.  This is the only of my shuffles that comes from a Spotify playlist.  It is a huge playlist (ever-expanding) of current and former Nashville area artists and bands. It is an eclectic mix of older music and newer music - crossing musical boundaries.

Let's shuffle!

It's April!  I'm back after a long weekend. Friday I attended Finally Friday at The Nashville Palace hosted by Whit Hubner and broadcast on a local radio station that is not the one where I have a show. A great line-up that included: The Dunwells (who I last saw at a Live on the Green during Americana Week - several years ago), Fats Kaplin and Kristi Rose (who are always awesome), King Corduroy, and Great Peacock.  Saturday, I checked out Kevin Gordon and Stuffy Shmitt at The 5 Spot and then The Josephines (from Bowling Green), Supersuckers, and Drivin N Cryin at The Basement East.  Little Joe is playing guitar with Drivin N Cryin.  Warner Hodges joined both Supersuckers and Drivin N Cryin on several songs. It was raucous and loud and fun as hell.

It's Monday - time to delve into our Music City Monday playlist (which can be found on Spotify). Today's shuffle spans decades and all manner of music from Nashville artists and bands...
