When Electricity Came To High Point

Resumed recording activities and just about exhausted everything we had planned and ready to record.  We have ONE song on the to do list currently, and it's out of left field.  Paul Revere and the Raiders' "Hungry"!  Our last original, which I referred to as "Screaming In Silence" has been nearly completed, with a brand new name, re-christened as "Everything You Feel".  It's became a song of feelings and one friend tells me it is "soothing" to listen to.  That's cool as it gets, ya'll.  Subdivisions turned out as well as I could hope for, actually even better.  Such a loyal cover of the familiar Rush classic, makes the hair on my arms stand up listening to it.  #RoxX

We ran two fun events this month, resume a heavier schedule on Friday May 3rd & 4th for the 3rd Annual Kernodle Brothers Tag Team Tournament.  This year's event also marks the two-night Don Kernodle 69th Birthday Bash, coinciding with the Kernodle Tag Tournament at the Sportatorium.  Our friend from France, Ulysse "OPA" Demos, has returned and re-joined his partner Teddy "TKO" Ireland Jr. and qualified for the tournament!  TKOPA is back in business!  Also, my friend Jimmy Harris has pulled the plug on Benefit Championship Wrestling, due to constantly increasing venue prices.  Of course, "Little" Jimmy moving to Charlotte probably has a lot to do with it too, but we made some history and collected some cash in the past few years.  LIKE A BOSS.

After seeing this morning in the news that the NBA Playoff television ratings are at an all-time low, I realize I'm checking back in on Atlanta Braves baseball daily again.  Really enjoying the attitude and energy of the new young guns.  Hope it continues and they can get some stability in the middle relief area, they're going to need it going forward.  Found myself staring at a split-squad game in pre-season and realized I was gonna be hooked again.  Watched the Braves through some REALLY ugly seasons way back, from day one that cable television came to High Point.  Second most important day culturally here right after when Electricity came to High Point.

Spring Snows and Boston Covers

Yeah, it's that way.  April 2nd and it snows for several hours today despite the fact that the temperature was around 39 degrees.  Seems it tried this a couple of years ago and two days later it was 72 degrees sunny and clear.  You know, the trigger for the REAL allergy season that's already been going strong since late February.  



The RoxX is back in business.  Tommy and I have been in contact for a couple of weeks and he has already sent me the music for our next cover project.  We're basically starting up all over, no current plans for projects we were about to undertake, just one song at a time.  Well, maybe two.  Our next studio date will be to record vocals for Boston's "A Man I'll Never Be".  I'm guessing he discovered that there are as many guitars on most Boston songs as on Led Zeppelin's "Achilles' Last Stand".  Music sounds incredible.  I'm betting he'll tweak it even more before release.  And #2 at this point appears to be our second Rush cover, "Subdivisions".  You heard it here first!



Extended time (almost 3 weeks) off from wrestling after 6 straight weekends, April will be fairly light, two events during the month and May kicks it up another notch with the two-night 3rd Annual Kernodle Brothers Tag Team Tournament and Don Kernodle's 69th Birthday Bash getting things rolling.  So let's head up to bed, have to get up REALLY early to take Karen to jury duty in Greensboro in the morning.  Ack.  Ya'll play pretty and be sweet!

Well, Here We Are!

Well, Here We Are!  Still in a pandemic panic, media driven, Democrat-approved, still arguing the November election.  All of that "new ...
