With all the goofy rules about alcohol in the State of Alabama (ABC Stores, No Out of State Wine Shipments to home addresses, No High alcohol Specialty Beer), why do we allow kids to sit at bars in the state. If I’m watching sports with friends at a bar, I’d prefer not to have to watch my language because a kid is sitting next to me at the bar. Sometimes, when Adults watch sports our… Read More
Well, I didn’t know what he was going to sing, and based on how the first few performers were on the Tuesday show I wondered what would happen. But as it turned out, for us that have seen Taylor at Eighth & Rail (or in Birmingham), Taylor came out and sang like we’ve come to know his style.

From Time to Time, I check up on some of the sites, which I’ve linked to from this site. The boys at WANI have a new look. Not sure when the update took place, but it’s pretty good.

Guess some of the guys at the… Read More
