No mention of @BADASSKATOON’s Stompin’ Tom Connors tribute? That was the highlight of my morning. As your tweet indicated, “use headphones if you’re at work”

Just looked at the Bluegrass and Country nominations and the only other thing I programed was J P Harris and the Tough Choices. Is it that hard to find the time and budget to use services such a Radio Submit or Air Play Direct? I check Air Play Direct daily and read my emails from other souces.

Gee, what harmless comment can I make today that will get my post deleted? Guess I’ll find out. I’m definitely going for the deleted comments record here! (lol)
Tonight’s Music City Roots show will feature Keller Williams with the Traveling McCoury’s, Shannon Whitworth, Derek St. Holmes, Great Peacock, and Altan.

Also on tonight between 8 and 10 PM Nashville time is Eddie Stubbs’ tribute show to Jack Greene on WSM AM. What are the odds he will spin “Statue of a Foll”? Hmm…
That new Pistol Annie’s track “Hush” is okay, but I’d rather have something more country. Looks like it’s going to be cherry pickin’ time when the new album is released.
