A cold commute this morning. It think it was around ten degrees with windchill below zero. Music did it's best to keep me warm. Yesterday, I took advantage of my time off and added over 100 songs to my phone including a bunch of new music. The New Music playlist is up to about 450 songs now.
But, today is Wednesday, and on Wednesday - we get "wild" by shuffling up all the songs in my phone memory and seeing what comes up. Here is what came up today:

Well, I guess you could say we are in the home stretch of the 2017 Earie Award and actually for 2017 for E2TG overall. In so many ways, 2017 has been a very difficult year for myself and many others. I guess when I look back, I am trying to focus on the good moments, the new friendships, the accomplishments (my own and others), and hope despite the fear.
Anyway, after today, we have five more shuffles and five more days of Earies. The Golden Earies (Artist(s) and/or Band(s) of the Year) will be posted between Christmas and New Year's Day.
Let's jump to it!

First off.... Sturgill Simpson for the win! If you're not sure why, google Sturgill Simspon CMA17
Went to the Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown CD Release show last night. I had seen them once a couple of years ago - at a show I covered for No Depression. Last night's show was impressive. Great performances, great songs, high energy, and engaging. Thanks Mary!
Well, I ended up downloading a new music player app last night and messed around with it when I should have been sleeping. So far, it seems like I will like it. Still dealing with the issue of the other music player not deleting songs. I may have discovered why, though, the songs are all stored on a memory card, and apparently with the OS my phone has - you have to give specific permission to an app to allow it to delete from a memory card. At least with my new player, I got a message explaining this - the other one would just appear to delete the file only to have it reappear like magic.
Long story, a little less long, I have to do some work deleting previously played songs, and until then, there is a good chance some songs will repeat. But it will all work itself out. The only other drawback I see on this music player is that the "Recently Played" listing is not a chronological list of recently played songs - which I like for compiling my blog post. But, you can scroll back through the songs recently played without it shuffling everything again. On the plus side, the song info shows up on my car stereo when I play the music through my blue tooth interface!
Enough about the logistics of E2TG, let's get to the music! By the way, I am off work tomorrow so this is likely the final shuffle of the week.

I went to see Nashville Rep's production of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson last night. Really good! Andrew Jackson was cast as a kind of emo rock star. The show was funny and engaging, and the music was great. Very irreverent and kind of raunchy at times. Perfect. It was also a great satire of populism and how it doesn't always work out like it seems like it might.
Well, it is Friday. Another rainy, gloomy day in Nashville. It's been an odd week for me. Not sure why. I took Monday off. Haven't felt 100% most of the week. Feeling better today. But, it's Friday! And that means we get to delve into the Featured Friday shuffle - more songs from the "new music" playlist.
