Man, oh man, what is with this weather? This week there were flash floods in western Arkansas and there was flooding in New Braunfels, TX. Our hearts go out to those who lost their lives and to their families. And our wishes for a speedy recovery go to those that lost property. I am still unable to process all the damage that was done by the flooding in Nashville, as our brothers and sisters there look to rebuild. When these events happen, it is the first blush of reportage that generates awareness, but not long thereafter, we move on to other things occupying our attention. Let us not forget it takes time and money to create a new normal. It doesn't happen all at once, and the money to help still needs to be generated long after the spotlight has moved on. We remind you to give if you can, and that you can click on our Red Cross banner to do so, or by clicking here.
Todd Snider recently put a band together with other stellar musicians from the east side of Music City. The Eastside Bulldogs features Todd, Elizabeth Cook, Bobby Bare Jr., Tim Carroll, Jenn Gunderman, Mark Horn, Eric McConnell, and Dennis Taylor. They have been recording with legendary producer Don Was, and have delivered the brilliant first track from the upcoming album, sales of which benefit Hands on Nashville. They are offering the MP3 and video of "Come On Up and See Me Sometime" together via digital download for $2.99, and all of the proceeds go to help Nashvillians in need.
