    He certainly sings blues, and if you listen to the vocal runs in "Tennessee Whisky" alone you have to concede that he could lay down a credible R & B album if he were interested in recording one.

    Toby Keith has stomach cancer and will be canceling some of his upcoming dates, although the board software won’t let me post the link to the NPR story.

    More on (moron?) Toby Keith.

    ADD: Making fun of my own wordplay and not of Toby Keith after reading my post after the fact. I don't give a rat's ass about the politics of Herr Covel.

    The current set for the Opry was designed by the same people in charge of the Hee Haw redesign in the 1990s.

    Excellent and remarkably complete article about Willie Nelson by Jody Rosen (who invented the term “bro-country) for The New York Times Magazine, with this interesting side note: We nearly lost Willie, 89, to COVID-19 this spring.

    “I had a pretty rough time with it,” Nelson allows. “Covid ain’t nothing to laugh at, that’s for sure.”

    I never have luck embedding Facebook posts any more. Anyway, read this from Dave Alvin of The Blasters. The Country Music HOF is about to open a really cool exhibit.

    Willie's a national treasure. It's going to be rough when we lose that ol' boy, for sure. If you don't know them, find a music streamer and play the "Red Headed Stranger" and "Shotgun Willie" albums.

    I'm stunned that Willie hasn's been awarded the Medal of Freedom already. Career alone, then throw in Farm Aid. Total no-brainer.
