When I went to the Levon Helm show at the Ryman Auditorium about 2 years ago, I knew they were recording the show. The video guys were obvious but not intrusive, and there were no do-overs or director running around. It was a whole show, with lots of special guests and some of the best music I have ever heard. I’m plum tickled that the concert is now coming out on DVD. I want this DVD!

Fix My Phone!
Broke my cell phone last night. I don’t know what I did, but it says it is locked and it wants a password or PIN code or something. That just kicks my butt, because I have never put a password on this phone that I know of. I know the bill was paid on time, so its no reason for the phone company to do this to me as a way to collect money. I guess I have to take it into the cell phone store and someone there help me figure this out.
Country Music
I’m surrounded by people who live and breathe country music. That is one of the advantages of living in Music City.
My waitress at my favorite Mexican restaurant is a fiddle player who works with George Jones. My next door neighbor runs a private wedding chapel where over 200 celebrities have exchanged vows in privacy. My barber goes down to the Grand Old Opry and does hair for the performers every weekend. My mechanic fixes cars for Alan Jackson.
At the bank drive through window I saw Travis Tritt using the ATM. At the chiropractor next to my office, Wynonna Judd parks her BMW next to my car and goes in for an adjustment every couple of weeks. My secretary’s husband plays drums as a session player on Music Row.
We are all connected.
Cowgirl of My Dreams
The best part of this photo is the way the light comes across the cowgirl. The second best part is that you don’t see much of her face, so in your mind’s eye she could be just about anyone you want her to be. I want to take this photo and make it into a painting, in the Van Gogh style. I might even have photo editing software that will do that. I’ll have to check on that and see if it works like I have it pictured in my mind.
Less Sleep
Last night we switched to Daylight Savings Time again. That means that when it should have been 8:00 am this morning, it became 9:00 am. So if I needed to be somewhere at 10:00 am I had to either change my clocks before falling asleep, so I had to change my alarm to wake me up an hour earlier. Either way, I lost an hour of sleep last night and now I’m late.
