Hope the weather is spectacular where you are. After all, spring has sprung, and for fully half the country it is uncommonly warm for this time of year. Glorious sunshine, everything blooming, this is the season when we all feel alive. Make time this weekend to get out and enjoy, if the sun is shining in your neighborhood. And if it is raining, just think, the pollen is being washed out of the air, and that should help things this time of year, too.

Yes, they were just part of our Music Fog Marathon last week, and videos will be forthcoming from that session. I find Nashville so enigmatic because I used to live there. No matter where I go in that town, I run into people that I know. It is almost as if I conjure them up. That night was no different, and among the folks at the gig was an old friend named DeWayne Brown. Several years ago at Bonnaroo, DeWayne gave me and the XM crew lots of tips about how to survive in the mud, as he was a veteran at it. Come to think of it, he has always given me good advice---about music or otherwise. That night he introduced me to Shannon LaBrie. And since it’s spring and that’s when a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love...well you know, here is the first video from her. It is a sunkissed affair, with longing for what once was. The song “I Remember A Boy,” comes from her self-titled EP, just out.
