Wow. One post so far this year. I'm really sharin' some great stuff, eh? *insert sarcastic smile* Well... know I'm reconsidering my hiatus from writing on BB's Blog. Things are crazy. Let's just leave it at that. Good news is, I've got some cool gigs coming up in November. Come out if you're so inclined. 11/11 - Friday, 8:30 - The Ruteledge: Singing BGVs with Lisa Gray at her CD Release &

This vid of a tornado in Tuscaloosa, AL blew my mind: YouTube - 4/27/11 - Tuscaloosa Tornado If you want to help, but don't know in which state to start, donate to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund.

It's been almost a month since historic rains fell on Middle TN... pushing streams, creeks and rivers out of their banks, saturating the ground and leaving a wake of destruction in places you'd never even imagine water would flow. People still need your help, both financially and physically.  We've made a lot of progress, but restoration is far from over. As the immediacy of the situation fades,

Saw this poem in, of all places, Jimmy John's when I was grabbing a quick lunch yesterday. It really resonated with me... So, I thought I'd share it with you. I Believe...I believe- that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe- that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I

With the historical rainfall and flooding in Nashville and the surrounding area this past weekend, so many people and places were affected in varying degrees.  Yeah... we sustained some damage to our yard, crawl space, AC/heat units... but that is nothing compared to the devastation all around us in Antioch, Mills Creek Area, Downtown, Bellvue... the list goes on.  All of this left me feeling a

So… you’re on the way to work, you’re running late already and now you have a flat tire. *insert expletive here*No matter what, you’ve got to deal with it:• You’re gonna call work and let them know you’re running late with a flat tire. • You’re gonna have to change the tire or call someone to help you change it.• You’re gonna make it to work, eventually.

Seriously. I know it sounds a little morbid, but we did. I swear.Mom & Dad visited from Nebraska last weekend. It was great! We pretty much ate, B.S.'d, hung out at the dog park and chilled for 2.5 days. We also went on a drive around the countryside to give them an idea of what TN looks like outside of Nashville.In that, we ended up in Franklin. My Mom loves history, so when we were about

The circus is in town... And it just went by our offices downtown. If you look real close, you can see the elephants heading the procession. Friggin' cool.

Just sharing the good news... Jimmy Wayne's song, "I Will", is #23 on the Media Base country chart this week! It's an amazing song, written by Dave Pahanish and Rory Lee Feek, produced by Joe West.Joe included both Clocky and I on the song (Thank you, Joe!) and we heard it on the radio for the first time while we were visiting family in Nebraska over the holidays. Surreal.Anyway... thanks for

John's in Chicago performing with Jimmy Wayne on WGN's midday show today.Starts at 11:55 CST.Sounds like they'll be playing right at the beginning of the show, a segment in the middle and as they close the show.Watch if you can!

Our Subaru kicked the bucket last night. So, Clocky and I did our part to "stimulate the economy" at CarMax today. We're officially all Honda all the time. Heh.If you need a car, I highly recommend the CarMax experience. Seriously. They are the "southwest airlines" of car sales. If you go in Nashville, ask for Larimore Henley. He was low pressure, sincere & spectacular.

Replaced our old microwave (circa 1992) that finally gave out before the holidays. Used a holiday gift cert (thanks tony & brenda!) towards this rockin' red one from Target. Wonder if this one will last 17 years?!

Woot! Jimmy Wayne is presenting an award on the CMAs tonight... so be sure to tune in. It sounds like he'll be presenting one of the first few awards, so don't miss the beginning of the show. AND, John and I were invited to attend the Big Machine / Valory after party. I am sooooo looking forward to it.Now... I just need to figure out what to wear! New red boots + what?

I know this is short notice, but I just signed-up to Walk for Lupus tomorrow morning at Centennial Park and would love your help in raising a little last minute funds for the Lupus Foundation.Mary Self, a friend's wife who is living with Lupus inspired me to get involved in Saturday's walk. Helping to organize and plan this walk is Mary's way of helping others who struggle with Lupus daily,

In trying to sort through all the issues and figure out who the heck I should vote for in November, I found myself wishing for an online tool to help me do just that.Thankfully, I have two friends who had already found a couple online tools, so I thought I'd pass them along for those, like me, who are still trying to get through the voting weeds.Glassbooth.org provides an online tool that matches

Tom and Gertie... and Tom, Minnie, Grace, Brooke, Kathy, Kelly, Molly, Scott... and too many more to name... all came out to see the show. Not to mention, my parents drove 6 hours or so from Nebraska to see it as well! Above is a pic we snapped back stage of Tom, Jimmy, Gertie and Johnny

While home visiting family the past few days, Mom and Dad took me on a tour of the construction in progress of 27 gianormous wind generators near my family's farms. According to my Dad, they are the largest wind towers available for construction in the USA, around 290' tall with three 80' fan blades per generator. They had to grade down the hills and widen the corners to accommodate the length

Tanky loves treats... Especially jelly beans. When he gets a treat... we say,"wait... wait..." and he can't eat it until we say "okay". In the meantime, he stares the treat down. (See evidence in pic.) It is the most hilarious thing!

It was our 10th Anniversary on Friday.TEN YEARS!?!That is just so crazy to type.As we drove to our anniversary weekend destination, Atlanta, we realized that the last time we actually went somewhere to do nothing more than spend time with each other... was our HONEYMOON in Chicago.So, here we are, ten years later, stealing away to explore a new city. Just the two of us. No gigs involved. No

My favorite part of the Georgia Aquarium this morning were the Beluga whales within the Cold Water Quest.We could have watched them for hours. They look so friggin' human... I swear they have a smile on their faces. Nikko, the male of the three in the Aquarium, weighs 1,700 pounds. (For those of us from farm country... that's definitely a bull. Heh.) The glass for their tank is 13 inches

Clocky watching a whale shark in the Ocean Voyager section of the Aquarium in Atlanta. The glass is two feet thick and 61 feet wide. The fish of three different oceans can be found in this tank.That big, long fish above John's head... that's a whale shark... the largest fish in the world. There are two of them in the tank. The Georgia Aquarium is the only aquarium outside of Asia that houses

My friend James is trying to sell his house in Idaho so he can move his family and himself to Nashville. (He's an amazing web designer who works remotely for us at Paramore | Redd.)With the current housing situation, his house is now valued for less than he owes on it... and is having trouble selling it in the depressed market of his community.So... rather than wait it out, he's gotten

So... about three weeks ago I was getting my hair cut. Bill Vandiver, my hair strategist *wink*, and I were talking about how incredible my friend Emily's paintings are... cause they are Emily... (don't argue with me young lady!) and how she'd donated some to help raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation.Anyway... the conversation lead to another conversation about an event Bill was

Just wanted to share a something cool that happened to me this past week. I was contacted to do a session via my myspace by Jimmy Scott (among other songs, he co-wrote "Love Sneakin' Up on You" - Bonnie Raitt). He found me on myspace!!! How cool is that?! And, he asked me to sing on a new song he's demo-ing... because he liked my voice. It just blew me away... I'm still kinda stunned and

Took this pic two weeks ago at the dog park. We've been there three times now... The one over by Centennial Park. He runs around like crazy and plays pretty well with other dogs. Doesn't he look happy?! Daddy Clock is on the road saturday... Tanks and I may have to go hang out!

I bought a bottle of wine for a friend's house warming get together. As I looked through all of the options... I realized I had no idea what to buy. Then, I saw this bottle and figured i couldn't go wrong. So, I went with "good pinot grigio" and... Well... They weren't stretching the truth. Heh. It is good.
