(12-pounder from Caney Creek, 2022) It’s on! I’m gonna need six or seven gallons of catfish fillets frozen by July 12. That’s when the Caney Creek Gang (CCG) plays Pickin’ on the Porch at The Monroe Homeplace again. If I’m not mistaken, 2025 will mark the 5th summer we’ve played Pickin’ on the Porch. Here’s […]

At The Old Get Together! (festival flyer) We arrived at 1:00 ready to jam! The Caney Creek Gang was asked to lead the Jam Circle, and Adam Moore, the festival organizer, had chairs set up for us. (pic from Adam Moore) Right away I could see Adam had found the perfect place for a festival. […]
The big question today, Friday, May 16, was whether to cancel The Rosine Barn Jamboree or not. This type situation at the barn is always pertinent to me, but this time it was a little more so because my brother Kevin and I were scheduled to perform at 8:00. Of course, everyone was watching weather […]
(official event flyer) I’ve never been down to Cross Plains, Tennessee, for this festival, but I hear great things. Can’t this year either as I have prior obligations, so I’ll try to make it next year. If you look closely at the flyer, you’ll notice three bands very familiar and involved in Rosine. King’s Highway, […]
(photo by daughter Lauren) My blue guitar collection is complete! For now. I’ve played five of them during open mic at The Rosine Barn Jamboree. Three to go! Just as I said I would. It’s been interesting finding and choosing them, even more so playing them because none of them are of the best quality. […]
Friday, May 16! 8pm! The Rosine Barn Jamboree! Be there or be square! Obviously, Kevin and I go way back, but it was so long ago that I can’t remember the very first time we sang together. As far back as the 80’s, I can recall us singing “Yesterday” by the Beatles. Just for family. […]
It wasn’t a good day for golf. How bad a day for golf was it? Well, my son Tanner and I were one of only two groups on the course. Everyone else was smart enough to stay home out of the rain and chill. Part of it might have been that the old Lafayette golf […]
Sovereignty wins!!! (from Google Images) And I picked the winner! Of course, I didn’t place a bet, or Sovereignty would have crossed the finish line dead last. Everyone probably makes this claim, but I really mean it when I say I’m prone to bad luck. But seriously, the Derby is special to me, as it […]
May 2, 2025–what an awesome time at The Rosine Barn Jamboree! The rain kept a few people away tonight, but, wow! They were itching to be entertained. Whether we’re playing for twenty or 200, the show is the same; however, with a crowd like that, you just can’t help pickin’ and singin’ a little louder. […]
