Comment on The old/new way to listen to live music by rickjordan

I was just thinking about this, this week.I’d been to a weekend of music-listening (MerleFest). I was wondering how much space one would need and how much musicians charge. I’d love to go to a house concert and maybe even host one. And, Kate would be at the top of my list.

I’m not sure when I started watching the show faithfully, but to date I have seen every last episode and maybe twice or three times each. I love Phil, he’s my favorite. My mom and I figured out that he reminds us of my own dad and uncles. The things he says are so similar to what I grew up hearing from my dad. Jase is a neat guy, a little bratty, but funny. Uncle Si…well, everybody loves him! Lee often says that we’re going stop in Monroe to see Duck Commander, he wants to attend their church and so on. Like you, Lance, I hooked my mom on a visit home. Once she caught sight of Si in the boa at the tea party, she was hooked! Before that, she passed by without a care. My dad wouldn’t sit and watch “that mess” as he put it, now cackles during every show. They oddly feel like part of my family, wish it were so some how! They’re a neat bunch.
(Was a privilege to get to see them in person in Dothan, AL this past March. That was so neat!)

Gotta love a family whose values are faith, family and ducks in that order.

Nice article, Lance. I think that the change isn’t simply that they take themselves less seriously, but that there had been a generational change. Young adults and children today communicate differently. They’re the digital generation. My students come to school with there “devices”. They communicate through things like Instagram, texting, and Twitter.

Amen! Chris always looks like he’s been smoking something. We went to the carwash to get all of it off the car and it was FULL, then something broke and we all had to leave. =C

The tissue companies certainly benefit from it. I’m sure you could start a new fashion trend with yellow slacks.

My “thanks” is really just a confirmation that not only did I receive your message, but I read it and understand. People need to lighten up and simply just “delete” afterwards! That’s the polite thing to do!

“I think the healthy balance is found in the secret of all good communication: consider the audience.” Good advice!

You’re welcome. It was my pleasure! (My next post will be on mothers and their irony.)
