BILL BLOG Thursday March 27, 2025   Thursday morning has rolled around and it’s Opening Day for baseball!   Guess who’s happy about that? 68 and sunny tonight!   YESTERDAY We had a beautiful Tuesday in Nashville. Perfect weather. I had the day off so my wife Kathy and I stocked up groceries like Armageddon was on its way. And now we’re at a point where not everything is at one grocery store. So I end up pushing a cart with wobbly wheel in not one but TWO grocery stores! Sad.   Then I got a little much-needed gym time in just to remind myself how out of shape I am. Pretty exciting Tuesday huh?   SONG OF THE DAY I thought I’d share another Jenny Tolman song today as this song “ If You Can’t Stand the Heat ” will be used on the new talent contest called “The Road” produced by Blake Shelton and Taylor Sheridan out on CBS this Fall. And it will also feature Keith Urban . This is a song I wrote with Jenny and her husband Dave Brain...

BILL BLOG Wednesday March 26, 2025   The last Hump Day of March is here. Wednesday is bringing some sunshine. 71 for a high today.   YESTERDAY I had an open day as my writing appointment was cancelled because my co-writer was in a doctor’s chair trying to get relief from his allergies. There’s plenty of that going around right now. My wife and daughter deal with it every year. I’m one of the lucky ones that grass, and pollen, and whatever doesn’t seem to bother. For those that do suffer?   They made this T-shirt.   SONG OF THE DAY This is a song a young female artist named Presley Phillips recorded “ Love Like This ” that I wrote with her and my talented friend Zach Runquist who can play every single stringed instrument ever invented. Zach invited me to write with her and Presley that day which is now several years ago.   Presley. wanted to write something about how she wanted a lasting love like her grandparents had for year...

BILL BLOG Tuesday November 25, 2025  Tuesday is here and it’s going to be nice. Sunny and a high of 68.   YESTERDAY I sat in a writing room with my American Idol buddy Alex Miller and our friend Barry Hutchens and wrote a fun song born from an idea that Barry brought with him from North Carolina. Both Alex and Barry play guitar much better than me so my main job was to just sit there and try to look pretty. A very tough job these days.   The song turned out great and I got to hear the song “ Memories and Gin ” that Alex and I wrote that Alex just recorded for his new album out later this year. If you like George Strait songs you should like this one as well.   Alex has a new duet coming out shortly with Tracy Byrd which should do well. You can see how much fun these two are having together with this fun SONG .      While we were writing yesterday a young man knocked on our writing room door and introduced himself...
