My job is to play hillbilly music for folks who don't know they love it yet.
Sometimes you have to settle for Coffee McDiem.

Remembering Virginia Dare Hard Newberry, gone 44 years today. My first companion. My truest friend.

Whenever I see a restaurant named for me on the road, I try to stop in. This was a good one, in Tampa, Florida.

On this World AIDS Day, I am thinking with love of friends gone from the garden too soon, and giving thanks for friends who are still here and planting their gardens every day.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

I was in the quick stop men's room just now, and heard a Dad in one of the stalls sigh and say, "Buddy, we need a plastic bag for your booboo clothes." I went to the clerk, and asked for bags. I got 3, and took them to him. Been there as a Dad. Glad to help make a crappy day a little better for all.

I am doing a solo show tonight in the Episcopal Church in Louisburg, N.C. Built in 1901, it is a beautiful place to play!

My favorite meal at Thanksgiving is not the main one... It is the turkey sandwich with mayo, dressing and cranberry sauce for lunch the next day. A helping of Watergate Salad (which contains nothing resembling a salad) on the side. Feel free to adapt for your own use.

I'm thankful for you, old friend from my childhood. And you, new friend. And you, former colleague. And you, music pal. And you, dear family member. And you, over there. Yes, you... Even though you drive me crazy sometimes. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
