Playlist for tonight's show with a special 5 tune tribute to Earl Scruggs


by 'Rebel' Rod Ames

It has been one hell of a busy day for the old ‘Rebel’ today, but that is okay. It was good busy. Spent the day with my 18 year old son Kyle. He had asked me if I’d like to go to ASU (Angelo State University) in San Angelo.

These days I rarely if ever say no when he asks me to do something with him. At one time we were inseparable, but they get older and as they get older, we (the parents) grow dumber.

Long story short, I spent the day with him when usually I’d spend the day producing my show. Point is – I did it yesterday [Friday]. Good for me!

Not so!

I get back from ASU at 8 pm and try and burn the damn show to CD. The damn burner won’t work. Some IS dude told me once that a re-boot will fix 75% of your problems. Luckily, this little problem fit into that 75% bracket! The show is on disc and will go on! I just had a little extra stress to go along with it.
