In my humble opinion the U.S. is now going into it’s second civil war. But this one will be not made up of armies of violence but instead it will be fought with the pen, dollar and media.  The first true shot, (no pun intended) is the war being raged for gun control. When we [...]

With the season finally turning from the harsh frigid temperatures of winter to glorious spring as someone once said “Men’s thoughts turn to fancy”. Spring, what a wonderful time.  The grass begins it’s transition from brown to green.  Trees begin to leave and the juleps’ and spring flowers begin to bloom.  And more importantly you [...]

If you are a avid reader of my blogs you know I try to give credit where its do and I place blame where it is deserved.  And you know that I also am a very proud parent of three children, the youngest just turned 1 this past week.  So, I would like to talk [...]

Ever wonder what that strange sound coming out of your grandparents radio was? This sort of happened to me recently when my Granddaughter wrinkled up her nose at my radio station.  I was listening to what I consider one of the greatest ‘Country Songs’ of all time.  Vince Gill with the legendary Late Great John [...]
