The August malaise, having passed with its sweltering oppression, has me recovering my words and ready to write, or at least anxious to start back writing. Have you ever wondered just what happens when you flip the light switch at your home? What do you expect when you do? How do you feel when the…
On July 7, 2015, at a house party in Ottumwa, Iowa, it is reported that Hillary Clinton commented, “Let’s not be afraid of the gun lobby, which does not even really represent the majority of gun owners in America.” Really? And what if they did? Would she have any different view? In a June 17…
As of late, with monumental Supreme Court ruling opinions and dissenting opinions, there is an over-abundance both of reasons to opine and opinions themselves. They flit about like gnats on a windless summer night; aggravating, most are too small to successfully swat, leaving one with no sense of satisfaction like one might feel upon seeing…
Some of the most delightful singing I have ever heard on this planet came from the harmonious voices of Jim Ed Brown and his sisters, Maxine and Bonnie, who were simply known as “The Browns.” The Browns were rightfully inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame just a few weeks ago; they deserved their…
Every year for the last several years I have had the great privilege and pleasure to go to the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains in California for a fabulous music festival where I not only play, but enjoy exciting music from around the world, all in a heavenly setting.

I’d give you peace if I could. But I can’t. I can give you advice. But that’s never wanted, and my advice could only come from my experience, which may not be yours. We should try, though, to bring peace to as many as we can, even if that means advice, and sometimes the best…
I have a big day today. Electrical work on the power grid that has taken months on the campus of The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) will get its final energization today, after some testing and verification. Part of the overhead system will be retired in favor of new underground power lines, further beautifying the…
