The Fat Guy Speaks, Types, and Recommends

When Scott Chaffin recommends a new CD, not once, but twice, the latter with the 18+ point red font, boldface, I’m buyin’1. Hank III is finding its way to my music library as I type. All based on Scott’s blogging, and a couple 30 second samples heard over the last pre-commute cuppa’ joe this morning. [...]

Do not call him Gramps

Congratulations to Scott Chaffin, aka The Fat Guy, on the birth of his first grandchild. One observation from the article, as only TFG can phrase it:
And let me tell you — it’s weird being a grandfather. I’ve had about eight months to prepare, and I, uh, well, ain’t. Sort of perspectivizes things for ye.

Dueling Wreaths

This year, we expanded the circle a little [...]

No Sony for The Chair and Automan

James Slusher has some interesting views on Sony, and the boycotting thereof:
James mentions that he hasn’t bought an RIAA-label CD in years; I have bought precious few myself. I also use a Mac, having abolished MS Windows in my Y2K readiness plan. He goes on to say:
People are really upset that this big [...]

Saa-lute!

Scott, aka The Fat Guy, mentions this humble effort of mine on his blog today. If ya’ like barbeque, beef, beer, and honest to gosh country music like it’s supposed to be, check him out.
Thanks, Scott, and a tip of the racin’ hat to you and yours.
