Thought for the day

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who as the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt]

Country Family Reunion


In 1997, producer Larry Black and singer / songwriter Bill Anderson realized that a lot of the older legends of country music were still alive and performing but knew that they would be leaving us soon. So they got about 50 older singers, songwriters, and producers together with a great band for three days of reminiscing, story telling, and singing.  29 of the folks on that first show are no longer with us.

Since that time they have filmed several of these reunions with different groups of artists and I have enjoyed them all.  If you like country music at all you should see these.  They are filming a new one this fall in conjunction with Bill Anderson's 50th anniversary in music.
