My job is to play hillbilly music for folks who don't know they love it yet.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl half time show was not in English. Well, neither are most of the operas that have been performed at the Kennedy Center. Oh wait. They hate those, too.

My new stent and I are being discharged from the hospital today. Heading back to North Carolina starting tomorrow. If you have to have a heart attack far away from home, Glens Falls Hospital is a great place to end up. They saved my life.

Had a wee wrinkle out here on the road. I felt unwelI on Friday morning, and ended up in the ER in Glens Falls, NY, where they caught a heart attack early. I am on the mend, with a brand new stent, and will be heading home to NC soon. Superb care at Glens Falls Hospital. I really am all right!

Hotel fire alarm at 5 a.m. Got dressed, instruments in hand. Alarm stopped. Fire Department said all clear, so I got a bit more sleep. There was a guy bitching about it in the breakfast area just now. Me? I am thankful for alarms. And, that firefighters come out in 0° weather to check it out.

An old friend and his wife came to the show last night. She has been in ill health for a long time. After the show, he came up and hugged my neck, and said that our music was the best medicine she could have had. I don't take what we do for granted. A high honor to play for her.

Ignore the New York Times. Trump is *pretending* to "change course" in Minneapolis as a ruse. Little has changed on the streets. Trump is just feigning a change in tack to placate Congress members calling for hearings and to wait out the horrible PR nightmare ICE has created for the White House.

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe.
Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately.

I will spare you the description of the coffee, the weather outside the door, or a litany of my upcoming shows, and just wish you a good morning. Do a good turn for someone. Work for justice. That is where it's at.
