Sunday Comix (Medium Writers’ Sunday Bulletin)
Closed-Circuit Readers’ Bulletin, actually.
This article is going to be the absolute best ever published on Medium, ever.It is my story #250!
It, however, is published on the weekend for readers who have followed me, and for those who have subscribed to the service that sends you an email whenever I publish a story. As you know, you people are called “my peeps.”
Right now we are operating on the honor system, so if you are not in that category, please don’t act out.
This is a bulletin being sent, closed-circuit, for the peeps’ general knowledge, and to receive their input. I am sneaking this story out quietly for you guys.
To become one of the peeps, look for the envelope icon. You know what to do when you find it. I don’t think I’m supposed to say. But remember… in the reading pecking order, “peeps” are the top of the heap, the cream of the crop, the beautiful people. They are the envelope clickers!
Nashville music scene update.
Friday night, here in Nashville, we have an early-edition of the Grand Ol’ Opry, before the big Saturday night edition and I happened to catch a few opening bars of the program with my highly-talented ear this past week.
Of course, being the music-man (no 76 trombones, please) that I am, it doesn't take many notes of a selection before I recognize the song as well as the writer and the album on which it first was cut, so I was immediately quite intrigued Friday night.
After the first few, I said to myself OH NO!
Not the BEACH BOYS singing California Girls on the stage of the Nashville (formerly hillbilly) Grand Old Opry!!!
But it was. And it was very good. Very close to the original arrangement, sound and harmonies. WOW. They even made a comment that they had been doing that song for 60 years!
We know there has been a change or two in personnel, but seriously, they sounded original.
And they then introduced Lorrie Morgan to sing one of their songs she had recorded in 1996, “Don’t Worry Baby.” And that was enjoyable.
I say all of this because there exists a group of people who don't like country music. More and more, country music is starting to say “How do you like me now?
More from Mr. Music?
I am thinking we may hear more from the “Mr. Music” side of me in the future, because that is what I am eat-up with, start to finish. My alter ego.
We are still making progress towards our newsletter where I feel like I will be able to virtually have you guys over for a coke and a convo like neighbors. So hit the envelope, and wait for it…
(And to Jim in Pittsburgh, no- that’s not who I am. Big-time writers don't have to do stuff like that to be popular.)
