Great, just what I need, more Jonny Corndawg links! (lol)
Its nice to see Bucky cleared of those criminal charges. I mean the guy might not be the brightest bulb in the fixture, but he’s not that dumb! I mean it would have had to be a lot more money than that to be believable! (lol)
Is that Jamey Johnson book actually a chronicle of the progress of his beard’s growth? That beard has a life (and separate career) of its own!
I’m looking forward to the bluegrass APHC radio show. The sound quality of that program is usually top shelf. Now if Garrison would just relent of proudly proclaiming his political “useful idiocy” every chance he gets. Oh well…
