Been very busy this week on several different fronts, and as I was feeling a little bit stressed out yesterday, it was good reminder to reflect on gratitude.
Found out yesterday that NO ICE, and The Regrets - who are both associated with the Mama Coco's Funky Kitchen collective out of New York - are playing here in Nashville tonight - at Betty's Grill in West Nashville. Looks to be a pretty rocking show. As always there is a ton of live music going on in Nashville, but NO ICE's membership included Sam Braverman of Logan X - who I have been writing about for nearly 4 years, so I feel I must take advantage of this opportunity to meet him and hear this music in person. This will be the second Mama Coco's related band for me to see live in Nashville. I saw Toot Suite a while back at The East Room.
It's Thursday again, and we return to our Topical Thursday shuffle. The songs (or at least the titles or possible interpretations of the titles) fit a predetermined, vaguely defined, and unrevealed topic. As always, do not infer and I am not implying that the writers and performers below - have any association, affiliation, or that they support any particular viewpoint. The shuffle is about me making a statement - as vague and murky as that may be. Let's go!

PRESENTING THE 1st Annual E2TG Awards - "The Earies" (The Earies - it sounds kind of strange, but not really).
Well, it is December, and as I promised, we will begin our month long celebration of all things E2TG. Welcome to the first annual E2TG awards. Our red carpet welcome had to be cancelled due to rain in the Nashville area, plus we don't have a red carpet, and someone forgot to book the Ryman. So, this will be an on-line awards show this year...
I thought long and hard about how to begin this award month, but finally it seemed fitting and proper to begin the 2015 awards with the artist who closed out 2014 by being named the Artist of the Year.
Presenting the first award for 2015 is ..... me... Thanks, Joe. The first award to be presented is the Flattery Will Get You Everywhere Award. It recognizes the artist or artists who have realized that the blog host is basically a big ball of insecurities and self-doubt and that a little bit of flattery (even somewhat dubious flattery) goes a long way.
This artist not only routinely dedicates one of his signature songs to me, but he also included my likeness on the album cover of his most recent release. I think "Bob" is a pretty handsome guy, even if I would not say that he is short or tall. The 1st ever "Earie" goes to Darrin Bradbury. Darrin is currently on tour out West, so I will accept the award on his behalf. Also, we don't have actual
statues. Maybe next year.
Stay tuned all month for more awards....
