Canceled Shows

Dylan — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:09:19 +0000

Heard that about half of the Lillith Fair concerts have been canceled. I don’t know why those people were expecting sellouts at all their shows in this distressed economy. It was some really poor planning on the part of the concert organizers to even book some of those 3rd tier cities. Even more stupid to cancel all the low selling shows, when some of them could have easily been combined.

Check Out Cherry Holmes

Heard a bluegrass band the other day. I was surprised that I liked their music. I’m not normally a fan of bluegrass. But their style was less twangy and more modern in some way. If you have a chance to give them a listen, I’d recommend you grab it.

Speedy Recovery Billy Joe Shaver

Just happened across a casual mention about Billy Joe Shaver and checked it out by searching Google. Turns out Billy Joe had heart surgery recently and is in recovery from that. I don’t know why the local music rags didn’t pick up on that story – there’s a whole lot of people in this town who have recorded Billy Joe Shaver songs. You would think they would notice something major like that.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Billy Joe.

Plans for the Fourth?

Dylan — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 02:24:48 +0000

Well, we were going to go to Nashville Shores for the Fourth of July.

For the past 3 years that’s what we’ve done and they’ve put on a free fireworks show for everyone. It’s been a cool show because you sit on the sand or in your boat and watch the fireworks go out over the lake.

But I just found out that they aren’t doing it this year. Money problems, I guess.

Summer Reruns

Dylan — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 01:06:51 +0000

There is just nothing worth watching on TV these days. All the regular shows ended a long time ago and are doing reruns. To be honest, there were not all that many shows worth watching the first time. I sure don’t want to watch them a second time. I’m hoping some of the cable channels will launch a few summer season shows so I am not forced to watch reruns for the next 3 months.

Tin Pan South

Dylan — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:27:52 +0000

This whole week, Nashville’s clubs are dedicated to songwriters. We are hosting the Tin Pan South festival and conference. This is the perfect time to hear the people who write songs perform them the way they wrote them. An all access pass is only $90 for unlimited shows at a dozen different venues. Looking forward to hearing a lot of great music this week.

Billy Joe Shaver

Dylan — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:00:58 +0000

Billy Joe Shave is one of the best songwriters ever. His songs have been recorded and performed by hundreds of musicians. His life has been a typical country song, as well. If you get a chance to hear one of his shows, you won’t be disappointed.

Boring March Madness

Dylan — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 00:46:29 +0000

The little bit that I watch TV is usually on CBS. But for the past several days they have been broadcasting nothing but college basketball games for the March Madness tournament games. I like a good pro game of basketball – live – once in a while. But watching basketball on TV is boring as hell. I am just leaving the TV off and listening to music for the night.
