Hotter Than Hornets!

It’s been so hot this summer!  All across the states we are experiencing hot, humid weather, and additionally, there are a lot of wildfires burning, adding smoke to the overall miserable human experience.  It got me to thinking….what were some of the hottest...

How to Get Beads in New Orleans

Anyone who has traveled to New Orleans knows of its rich history and heritage.  Heck, even if you haven’t visited NOLA, you probably have heard and seen a lot about it.  New Orleans is well known for unique food (creole), music (jazz) festivals and parades...

The One and Only Lee Holdridge

Lee Holdridge is a legend!  He has a wonderful talent for composing music and arrangements for film, television, opera and recording artist.  One of the major stars Lee composed symphonic arrangements for was John Denver.   As life-long John Denver...

Music To My Ears!

One of the very best things that can result from a performer’s hard work is a sold-out show! It means that the work we do is still in demand, and that WE are still in demand! Lots of people think that we are the actual ticket sellers, but that is almost never the...

Confessions of a Dental Chicken

I am probably not alone when I say that I am a dental chicken.   I am THAT person. I clench my fists, wiggle my foot nervously, and I tighten every muscle in my body into “fight-or-flight” mode.  When I hear the dentist coming into the exam room (they...

Putting the “Laff” in Lavatory

This is a true story.  There are no names to change to protect the innocent.  Any malicious inference to the population living in North Kentucky is unintended and overblown (like most of my stories).  Only one individual is described here with total...

Karma Kicks My Butt

If you read the blog last month, you already know that I’ve called attention to the acapella singing group called Home Free.  I criticized them singing the wrong lyrics in the song, “Country Roads”  (they sang “Blowin’ like a breeze” instead of singing the...

A Huge Mistake!

I’m posting a song below, and I’ll bet in less than 1 minute, most of you will hear a mistake… a HUGE mistake in my opinion! https://youtu.be/UwubhhECksM?si=LnSysvI0jpMSOWQz When I heard it, I was very surprised, I’m not a super picky person, but I do think this very...

Some Days are Diamonds…..

I’m gonna say, for Jim and I, MOST days are diamonds, but if you are familiar with the song John Denver recorded for RCA in 1981, you know that the song goes on to say, “Some days are stone.” It would be absurd to think everything in life should be perfect and...

Never Say Never

Never say never is a term we all use when we are caught doing something we said we’d neverdo. Well, I got caught twice this month! Never say never #1 is the fact that there is a black car sitting on my driveway. I am KNOWNfor saying I’d never own a black car….but...

That’s One Mean Sea Otter!

Jim Curry at the Memorial Plaque in Monterey, CA. This is the Site Where JD Crashed his Plane A familiar looking couple came up to me after one of our recent shows to say hi.  It was Jerry and Sherry, and we hadn’t seen each other since 2014!   The last time we were...

We Get the BEST Letters……Sometimes

In the past I shared one of our WORST letters (June 2022) in which a concert attendee decided that our show was terrible.  https://jimcurrymusic.com/what-weve-learned-from-ricky-nelson-click-for-more/ Better yet, let’s forget all about that one. Most often, we get...

That Downhill Stuff

The recent news of the passing of Tina Turner (May 24, 2023) had me looking for the television special “John Denver and the Ladies” where John performed one of his songs with Tina Turner.  I had forgotten about the little ‘shtick’ they did when John introduced...
