There was an email waiting for me this morning from the Ryman Auditorium. They were announcing their spring lineup of shows. They have some really good acts coming to Nashville this year. I might just have to spend some money on a couple of tickets and go downtown for music and fun. Like the good old days.

One of the shows that my mom and her sister, Aunt Charlotte, used to watch during the day while us kids were in school had this slogan, “Like Sand Through the Hourglass” that they played at the start of the show. The only reason I know this is because when there was no school – for Christmas break of on snow days, my mom and Aunt Charlotte still watched this show every day, and the slogan seems to appropriate for today, the first day of the new year.
With 2011 now just a memory, I hope that 2012 is good to us all.

Back in the 1980′s when America discovered country music, thank to Billy Ray Cyrus and his line dancing hit, Achey Breaky Heart, there were several good bands that came out. One of my favorites because of their upbeat songs and great harmonies, was a band called Shenandoah. They had several hit songs and then just disappeared around 1996.
Do you remember, “Next to You, Next to Me”? That was a fun song, easy to dance to.

This weekend I’m hitting Redbox and renting at least four movies. I need a movie marathon – a day of nothing but good action movies and no one bothering me. After Thanksgiving, I won’t have much time for movies, so this is my last harrah for movies. Then it’s all about shopping, decorating and holiday parties until January 2.

Is there a movie that you watched as a kid that you would call a classic? On that had an effect on you – it was either really entertaining, or it introduced you to a new concept?
One that had a big impact on me was called “Sand Pebbles.” It starred Steve McQueen and was about a Navy boat in the Pacific during the WWII. It was a powerful movie and it had scenes in it that still haunt me today.
