There was more good news this week on the live music scene. Gruene Hall and Whitewater Amphitheater announced new concerts coming to their venues. Every time someone schedules a new show, it indicates a confidence that things are gradually returning to some semblance of normalcy. Last week, Gruene Hall added six shows to their schedule. […]
As I slowly count down the days until summer and continue binge watching Hallmark movies, I am hoping we will soon see light at the end of the Covid tunnel. Many of our folks in the medical field have gotten the vaccine, which is a good sign. Our local, state, and federal agencies seem to […]
As old man winter shows us once again that summer is still months away, there’s a lot of things happening in the music world. More and more live shows are showing up on the weekly schedules.

By the time Christmas arrives, we will have watched every Hallmark and Lifetime movie ever made. As I type this, I realize how pathetic that sounds. We spent countless hours sitting in our comfy chairs this past weekend watching dozens of cheesy Christmas movies. All the actors are the same, they all have the same […]
