We are getting closer to the end of the week and the big 281 Conference Tournament will take over the sports broadcasting at the station, and I'll put in 3 straight days of games. I'll do games Friday night for the girls tournament, Saturday night for the boys tournament, and on Sunday for my personal favorite (a little sarcasm in there) Hockey. Still formulating plans for that stretch of games, then I could be off until as late as Thursday with the major marathon day. 8 games in one day just isn't a good deal, but there is probably no alternative to playing that.
As you've probably figured I'm a major fan of music, and today i completed my installation of my new stereo system into the Trailblazer. It was a Christmas gift from my parents, and it works great. If you'll recall, now both of my Christmas presents have been installed, one for my personal enjoyment of music in traveling, and the other for the ease of travel with the now perfect turning in the vehicle. Lots of wires and colors that left me wondering a couple of times, but it all works perfectly, and now with my new Keith Whitley CD, it sounds great. Yes, I said Keith Whitley and I know it's not a new CD, but it's new to me. For those that don't know, he is a country singer who died way too young, at 34. I've heard a couple of his songs from work playing in the classics section, and his sound is similar to Randy Travis, but I love the sound. And, somehow I'm amazed at how many things I end up learning in music, but Keith was also married to Lorrie Morgan. Anyhow, a man that country music could have really used for years to come, but was taken sadly by alcohol addiction. You would know his song, "When You Say Nothing at All" He was the original recording artist for it, but Alison Krauss and her band have made the song rise to even more recognition. She is another amazing artist, but that's for another time. If you'd like to read more, check out Alan's latest post on his blog here or search for the post on January 8.
