A continuation of a series explaining how my brain works at any given time.

Upon further review, it's been fun to compile a snapshot of exactly what is happening in here.

For the Tennessean, Lainey Wilson and I spent a little time having a conversation during the opening of "Tough As Nails," her new career and life retrospective exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

For the Tennessean, senior dining reporter Mackensy Lunsford and I spent a few days on the Buddy's Backroom level at Jelly Roll's Goodnight Nashville bar and honky-tonk. Formerly solely private, it's now open to the public during weekend evenings.

"You got a lot of cred. We go through a lot (of interviews), but you're the one everyone warns us about — you know, mind your p's and Q's around you..."

Thanks, Brooks and Dunn. I sincerely appreciate it.

When the stars align correctly, you get MCA country performer Louie TheSinger and I finally getting to spend some quality time discussing his career with folks like my Tennessean colleagues @bryanwesttv.bsky.social and more doing the best work to elevate the moment.
