Folks, it's a special day. Today, the music of Steven Fromholz and Frummox has officially gone live on the internet across multiple platforms for the first time. Can search for either artist and they should start popping up. Further albums will continue to be shared after today.

Though my brother & I didn't complete our degrees at Trinity University, we both have very fond memories of campus & are lucky we made many life-long friends. During the annual 1869 Challenge, we continue supporting Trinity, via the Bengal Lancer Alumni Foundation. give.trinity.edu/1869-challen...

My friend Dr. @christianforky.bsky.social will help return Kentucky to reason, instead of falling further into the kakistocratic abyss like the rest of trumpland. Her race for Kentucky State Senate District 6 is against a Bannon-endorsed QAnon ringleader. Donate today: christianforky.com/donate

Well, look at that. Opened up my MapQuest app and there's Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico. Funny how that works. No trump maps here. Thundermail, Firefox, & MapQuest for the win.

I'm sad about Dolly, and makes it so much worse that a good friend of mine from the music business passed on today, as well. Damn.

Hundreds of residents upset to discover how maps and computers work. Why did the republican supermajority legislation take so long to implement? How does one not know where one lives? Also, these are the same people who elected Lindsey Tichenor. Good luck out there, folks.

In which the film depicts Paul Mescal (far right) as Trent Reznor judging a shitty Charles Manson look-a-like contest.

Matthew McConaughey mentions Willie Nelson's recording of the Steven Fromholz classic I'd Have To Be Crazy, on which Fromholz actually sings along with Willie, as one of the 10 songs that defined his life. Thanks, @rollingstone.com McConaughey's Life in 10 Songs: youtu.be/i2vUs6arb08?...

Saw the trumpist border activity down in Big Bend and Terlingua. Y'all already know what Ann Richards would have told Trump. We filmed down there for Big Hat, none of it looks the same. Here's some footage of Governor Richards with Steven Fromholz on a river trip. youtu.be/uatTxqKXUNk?...

Thanks to Lucille Barilla at Parade for covering one of our John Denver stories from The Man with the Big Hat. Glad Austin Sayre caught that excerpt with singer-songwriter and former Frummox member Mike Williams when we filmed in ol' G'Nashville a few years back. parade.com/entertainmen...
