the bride requested Ella Fitzgerald but I thought she said Edmund Fitzgerald and boy this is a long, awkward first dance
Two of my kids (9 and 7 yrs old) are already better sight readers (and have better theory foundations) than I was in high school
If my son (now 2 and half years old) develops an inclination to pursue music, I will make sure he learns the proper stuff in childhood, instead of in his 20s as I regretfully did. Unlike boomers I want my child to be more successful and surpass me in their abilities.

On this day in 1863, 21-year-old Confederate private Sam Davis was offered his life if he would simply name the man who gave him intelligence on Union movements.
His reply:
“I am only a private soldier in the Confederate Army. The man who gave me this information is worth ten thousand more to the Confederate cause than I am. I would sooner die a thousand deaths than betray a friend or be false to my duty.”
He was hanged that same day.
Duty over survival. Honor over self-preservation.

Watch as Mr Fenn Church refuses to let Alabama Power cross his line. They have an alternate route with a willing landowner, but refuse to call him. This will most likely wind up with Mr Fenn being arrested on his own land.
First country song I ever learned on the fiddle. Dad insisted I learn it (at age 5 😂)
Today I issued an Executive Order designating “Seminole Wind” by John Anderson as the official anthem of Florida.
I have also directed the @FLSecofState to erect historic markers in the City of Apopka depicting John Anderson’s contribution to Florida’s heritage.
In addition, I have tasked @FLDEPNews to work with the @SJRWMD to designate wildlife drive and trail system within Lake Apopka North Shore as the John Anderson Wildlife Drive and Trail System.

Barack Obama was horrible in a million different ways, but he doesn’t get anywhere near the hate he deserves for destroying the used car market for an entire generation.
15-year-old cars with 150,000 miles that should be selling for $3,000 are going for $15,000. It’s abominable. Pure destruction and thievery.
Got to work on this record back in the summer, and now it’s fixing to be released! Check out the Kickstarter if you’d like to support the project kickstarter.com/projects/ncg…

A little sentimental, but I’ve always loved this rendition

Check out A Wondrous Light by Nathan Clark George on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/ncg…
Feel like it’s a definite career accomplishment to find a record you played on years ago in the used cd bin in a record store

The “sit unused the majority of the week” comment drives me up the wall as a church staff meme we. This week alone we had 3 Bible studies, a Trail Life troop, 2 weddings/wedding rehearsals, choir practice, grief support group, plus pastors and staff who use the office…
Churches have huge buildings that sit unused the majority of the week. They should add gyms, co-working spaces, cafes, and bookstores. These can all be revenue generating ventures that have the added benefit of building community and engaging with the public.

Much of the year we have not one but TWO music schools meeting for lessons on different days, and they use out facilities for their recitals
