Friday Photo Flashback

Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts turns 51 on Sunday. Joe Don is the third from the left in the above photo. I've met the guys of Rascal Flatts a lot of times and they are all good guys. They hit the scene in 2000 and had a hit with Praying for Daylight. Two years … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

For 15 years, Gary Larson could always be counted on for a daily laugh. From January 1, 1980 to January 1, 1995, The Far Side was my go-to comic. Aliens, cows, cavemen and a vast cast of characters were always there to bring a smile. Long after Gary Larson retired the strip, the 365 cartoon-a-day … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

As a former radio guy who has been to a lot of concerts, I can honestly tell you that one of the most entertaining shows I've ever seen was put on by Neal McCoy. I've had the chance to see him perform a few times and his show is full of great music, dad jokes … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Happy 62nd Birthday to one of the coolest dudes in country music, Craig Morgan. I met Craig back around 2002. He had recorded for Atlantic records in 2000, but when that label closed, he signed with Broken Bow Records. Craig was out doing a radio tour promoting his new album. He was going to stop … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

I have to admit that I got a chuckle out of today's photo. My brother will probably hate me for posting it, but maybe he'll chuckle, too. I will wait while you laugh ... I know, we look utterly ridiculous. If I had to guess, this photo was probably taken when I was in 6th … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

If you asked me to give you a list of artists/singers who I thought should have been much bigger stars, it would be a long one. There are so many underrated singers that never got the proper recognition or airplay they deserved.

I found a picture from about 7 or 8 years ago that I thought I would share today. It includes a masterpiece, and it is probably the closest I will ever get to the real thing. Let me explain.

Yesterday I posted about my daughter’s last day of kindergarten. After that post, my wife and I were surprised with some photos we had taken a week or so ago in honor of the occasion. The timing was perfect! I wish I had room to share them all, but instead, here are my favorites! She … Continue reading Friday Photo(s) Flashback →

This week, a friend of mine sent me a photo I'd never seen before. It was taken on my first date. I wrote about my first date back in 2021. For newer followers, here is an updated edition of that blog. Every once in awhile, a writing prompt will come in the email that makes … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →
