In light of some recent headlines... I need to restate something I have been posting since January... There are still known and avowed white supremacists in positions of great power in the Executive Branch of the United States of America in 2017. This is the world view that is behind the decisions being made and it is the true undercurrent of the phrase "Make America Great Again". Please know that the last thing I want to devote time to on E2TG is politics, but I also believe that silence is acceptance - so since I cannot accept this, I must not be silent. #Resist #Persist

On a happier note, I made it out to The 5 Spot last night to check out Lynn Tayloe and The Barflies plus Stuffy Shmitt. In additional to the Taylor and Shmitt, I had the great opportunity to see some of my favorite players - Sergio Webb, Chris Tench, and Parker Hawkins. It was another great night of music in Nashville.
Well - it is Thursday - somehow - and that means we post from our current Topical playlist - which continues to be songs covering the 6 year history of E2TG. Let's shuffle!

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Handle With Care Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Monday. And we have another shuffle that demonstrates many of the best qualities of what makes our daily shuffles so special (and they are special....) - we have a collection of excellent songs - a few mini-almost-themes running through some of the songs, a fairly diverse collection of styles but nothing terribly extreme (by our standards). Let's do it!

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Fool Who Knows Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Of late, one of the musical highlights of my week has been the Wednesday night Tim Carroll/Darrin Bradbury extravaganza at Fran's Eastside Tavern. Just having the opportunity to see this two talents in a casual/laid back setting has been amazing, and it has been fun to see this thing grow into a bit of a happening. If you live near Nashville and can stay up late and handle a whole lot of smoke, you should come out. Last night, those who showed up and stuck around were treated to the added bonus of a short set from David Dondero - who NPR's All Songs Considered called one of the best living songwriters. I can tell you based on what I heard, they were not exaggerating in the least.

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - The Unanswered Mix
Tweet #E2TG
I discovered that there is another music blog out there called Ear to the Ground. I really don't have a problem with this... I mean for all I know they are perfectly decent folks who write about perfectly decent music. I do worry about my readers getting confused, so as a public self-service, I would like to use today's shuffle as handy guide how to tell #E2TG from any other blogs with similar sounding names.

Yet another rainy morning in Music City USA - home of the Ear to the Ground Morning Shuffle (patent pending but not really) and some other music related stuff, I guess... ;-)

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Searchlight Sneeze Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Last night was another typical night in East Nashville - I heard an Americana artist who likes death metal and Taylor Swift (the awesome Todd Farrell), a folk song about Lynard Skynard and Van Halen (by the amazing Aaron Lee Tasjan), plus a stirring post-midnight rendition of "Silver Bells" via Tim Carroll and Darrin Bradbury.
Our shuffle today offers a stunning departure from the norm.... not that we really have a norm here at Ear to the Ground, but we do have a lot of new (to us) music. It's a short shuffle in terms of songs (two 7:00+ minute songs will do that), and we have two instrumentals. Shall we?
