Heading into a short week - with a couple days off work at the end following a weekend filled with music. 

Friday - I checked back in with Tim Carroll's Rock and Roll Happy Hour and caught part of the 8th Anniversary of the Strictly Eighties Dance Party.   Saturday night was the annual Last Waltz tribute show - one of those events where I knew more people on stage than off.  The songs are all classics and the musicians and singers were all incredible. It would have been hard for it to not be great, and it still exceeded expectations.   Sunday, I caught Slowforce (Megan Palmer and Bob Lewis) along with what was billed as a solo set by Stuffy Shmitt but which was actually Stuffy and Tom Mason doing a set of classic blues and folk songs.  A really fun way to wrap up the weekend.

Reminder - please check out the Featured Friday Playlist. 

And finally, today's Music City Monday Shuffle is after the jump.

I just want to say that I hope you are all doing as well as you can be. I know many of us are far from okay. Some of us are struggling while simultaneously feeling guilty for struggling as we recognize that there are many who have it far worse than we do.  I just want to say all of that okay.

If you missed it Friday, below you can check out the current Featured Friday Playlist and below you can check out today's Music City Monday Shuffle...

Just a reminder, that you can still get your very own copy of my debut novel, The Drift.  It is available via Amazon for just $9.99 (and it is PRIME eligible). It is also available in a Kindle edition.  If you buy the paperback, you can get buy the Kindle Edition for just $0.99. 

If you are in the Nashville area, I, right now, have eight unsold copies in my car.  If you see me out and about (once I get over this cold I have) and you want a copy, let me know. I accept cash, Paypal, and Venmo.

If you are outside of Nashville and want to buy from me (and/or get  an autographed copy), just shoot me a message. I will need to charge shipping.

Well, it's the beginning of another month of shuffle here at E2TG, and it is Monday.  We have been doing Music City Monday for a while, but it has been within the last couple of months that I created the "Music City Monday" playlist on Spotify - just to feature a wider variety of great Nashville music of today and yesterday.   Here's today's shuffle:

Okay, I'm off work today, and truth be told this was a shuffle that I started three weeks ago - right before I went out for a several days, but I never finished.  But it is a Music City Monday shuffle and it is Monday, so I thought I would go ahead and finish and post this today.

I'll probably be brief....

Okay! It is Monday, and it's time for the first Music City Monday in a few weeks. Since it has been a while, I'll explain.  Unlike the other shuffles I post (which come from music saved to my phone0, Music City Monday comes from a constantly in progress  Spotify Playlist that I created. The purpose is to showcase music from Nashville's past and present, and to cover the many genres and styles of music that have originated in Nashville. It is not at all complete, and I am regularly making additions to the playlist.

Let's just get to the music....

Well, it is officially Americana Fest week in Nashville. Looking forward to seeing some out of town friends this week, and of course, seeing and hearing some amazing music. I'm going to try to avoid stressing out too much over all the great shows I will miss because it is logistically impossible to make them all.

I am excited to announce my first ever guest writer.  Look for some AMA reviews and commentary from Collins de la Cour.  I'm really excited to take this next step with E2TG.

Tonight, I have some pre/non-AMA shows.  Meanwhile, we are expecting a couple of days of wind and rain from Irma. So far I have gotten good reports from friends and family in Florida.


Meanwhile, it is Monday. On Monday we focus in on Nashville, the Music City... new stuff, old stuff - it's just all more or less connected to Nashville.  Let's Shuffle!
