In the middle of posting this, I heard about the passing of Rock and Roll legend Bobby Keys. The long-time Rolling Stones saxophonist was a resident of Nashville at the time of his passing, and I had the great pleasure of seeing him and his band play a free lunch time show at the downtown Public Library in the summer of 2013. RIP Bobby Keys...

Time to ease into a new week, a new month, and for some of us a new time structure - as Daylight Savings Time ends and Standard Time begins. It's Monday... Let's do this shuffle thing...

If you haven't already, please go "Like" the Ear to the Ground: A Music Blog - Facebook Page. And then like, comment, and share to keep all the fun posts coming to your news feed.

Now, it's Friday and we have a shuffle to end all shuffles (for the week)...

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Egg Cream Mix

Some days, I like to provide a detailed and creative commentary of the connections which exist between seeming unconnected songs. Some times, though, I just like to let these songs sit together awkwardly at the table while I sit back with a conspiratorial smile on my face (even then I have no co-conspirator). Today seems like a good time for the latter.... enjoy the awkwardness, but remember that the connections exist even if we cannot see them....

So, Americana Music Fest week is over, and Nashville can go back to being this cool city with live music happening every single night all over town.... Even with being an official attendee at AMA, I managed to see some amazing music, saw a bunch of old friends, made some new friends, and discovered some new music which will be showing up on E2TG soon...
More pics and commentary coming up.

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Number Three Mix
Tweet #E2TG
One of the best side-effects of writing this blog (and certainly not one I expected or intended) has been the incredible people I have met. Honestly, that is one of the main reasons, I have kept this up for three years. One of the very first people I "met" way back in the early stages of Ear to the Ground was Howard Rabach. Last night, I was fortunate enough to meet him in person and have an enjoyable dinner. Tonight, I get to see him again - playing bass for The Grey A for their CD Release Show at The Stone Fox.
Shuffle - let's go!

Introducing: The E2TG Hall of Fame ----- Ta Da!
You may be asking, "WTF?" Basically, it comes down to this: My blogging consultant told me I need to start being more controversial to attract more readers to my site. Whenever, I see posts about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they always seem to attract highly opinionated comments. So, I thought if I came up with my own Hall of Fame, it might create controversy and angry comment wars which might "go viral" as the kids say.*
*All of the proceeding is true except for the following: I don't have a blogging consultant. I rarely read comment wars about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the only thing likely to "go viral" over here is an actual virus.
Really, I got to thinking about the artists I consider E2TG featured artist. When I began writing E2TG way back in the spring of 2011, I began naming a Band of the Week just about every week. I did this for a about year, before switching to a featured artist designation - wherein I would name ten or so "featured artists" every month and put them in "heavy rotation" for the remainder of that month. That carried on for just over six months. Since, then I keep featuring new music, but I haven't really been very organized about recognizing those bands. So... I decided to take stock - at this random point in E2TG history and go back and formally recognize all of the bands that I consider part of the E2TG family. To do so, I decided to use the TAG "cloud" on the sidebar and begin with the most tagged bands and work my way down. So, for the near future, I am going to name three, two or one band every day to join the E2TG HofF. It's a purely honorary title - as currently it does not come with a cash prize nor is there an actual Hall.
I am going to create and maintain a Sidebar linked Page for the Hall of Fame artists - with videos, songs, links, an on-going web-store and more. It's still under construction, so will update when I have a Page set up.
So without much more ado, E2TG is pleased to announce our inaugural class of Hall of Fame inductees:
1. THE END MEN from Brooklyn, NY
2.TACO LAND - from San Antonio, TX
3. SKELETONS IN THE PIANO from Saratoga Springs, NY
Stay tuned! More to come.
Shuffle is up next

I am a long-time triskaidekaphobe, but so far (knock on wood), today has been pretty good. We had a change in the weather here in Nashville, and the heat and humidity finally broke into a sunny and rather cool day. Which is good because it is really hard to get excited about the return of Pumpkin Spice anything when it's mid 90s and humid. It just is.
Well circumstances being circumstantial, I don't have the hoped for music explosion today - just a regular old shuffle. Still, as regular old shuffles go, this one is pretty sweet.

You know it is almost a literal statement that you can hardly walk a block in Nashville without walking past a songwriter. But, it is a rare and wonderful occasion to be able to see three amazing songwriters sharing songs for free in the middle of a weekday.
Today, a mostly mellowish mix of music that just kind of feels right...
JUMP first - then music...

Currently, the playlist from which the Shuffles are drawn is up over 300 songs. Tons of new and new old music were added over the weekend, and more will be added soon.
Anyway, we have a great mix of songs - so let's JUMP to it...
