pbs has a pretty decent county music ken burns series running right now

I have really enjoyed it. I also want to make every racist redneck around watch it so that they'll see that their beloved country music would not be here had it not been for black and African influence. Then again, the crap most people refer to today as "country" isn't country in the least.

So you told your dad?

Dad died January 12, 2017.

He's rocking with Hank now...

Go to the 2:16 mark and watch for a bit...

Ironically, you shared a clip from Deliverance after we mentioned my father.

Hold up...I'm laughing my ass off now...

Getting back to Deliverance: my father hated that movie. It freaked him out.

It's actually an apt prediction of where we'd be as a country today. Needless to say, we all know which roles Prof, Toe, 10ac and (sorry eCat) eCat are playing...

I've been invited to give a lecture today at the University of Cincinnati advising college graduates on how to negotiate salary and choose the best job offer (assuming they have multiple job offers). Its some professional development organization. Supposedly there will be over 100 students in the presentation.

So that's a first for me, I'm actually excited about it.

I put on real pants today

Should have told me. I'd have driven down and shot spit balls at you.

Yoga pants


I love college

Roll Tide.

When you roll in the ocean, the tide changes...

Not much Carter Beauford who's pretty much the best drummer going today, but Dave, Willie, and Tim have some pretty good chemistry here too.

Dave Matthews? LOL.

halloween music (kind of)
