A good time to re-read Sharyn McCrumb's Ballad series Sharon Whitehurst writes: I turn to a re-reading of Sharyn McCrumb's Ballad Series every few years, usually when a spell of bad weather or sheer laziness has me looking for an escape. The Songcatcher is one of her best. With a spell of storms moving in, this week might be a great time to blow the dust off that particular shelf of paperbacks and settle in for a good mixture of history and imagination. --Sharon WhitehurstComments re article 66951 Tom Chaney Catching a Ballad 2014-04-27 13:10:49 | Comments | Printable version

Montana Story: The Mule That Could Out Run Secretariat A TALE for DERBY WEEK: Thanks to some of those at the Barnett's Creek United Methodist Church Candidate Forum last evening, Saturday, April 26, 2014, who reminded the writer he ought to post more stories on ColumbiaMagazine.com, Bill Troutwine dug into his files and came up with this story so fitting on Derby week. He could have had a great racing career, but the stewards had no vision, would never allow the writer to bring a bear onto the track to spur Jack on. To put the story in his biographical time frame, Bill Troutwine writes, "This is another story in my collection of stories I wrote for my Grandchildren about my experiences in Montana. It takes place before I actually moved to Montana. I was still living in Shepherdsville, KY. at the time. This trip along with a couple of others helped inspire us to move to Montana." It is a gem, a little literary masterpiece. We hope others continue to scold Bill Troutwine until a book is forthcoming. - EW Click on headline for complete story with photo(s). Next previous William (Bill) Troutwine story. Bill Troutwine: My Second Chance Posted on 2014-02-09 07:52:13 By Bill Troutwine In the fall of 1989 I had decided to take an elk hunting trip to Montana. This would be my second Montana elk hunting trip. In 1987 I made my first hunting trip to Montana. On that first trip I killed my first elk. I had killed it in the last hours of the last day of the hunt. From that moment on I was addicted to elk hunting. I contacted a friend of mine Evert Armstrong, who lived in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and asked him if he would like to go on a hunting trip with me. Evert said he would love to go so we started making plans for the trip. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2014-04-27 09:30:22 | Comments | Printable version

Hershel Harmon: Sunday Trivia Question I worked with these two some years back on the Edgar Holmes one room store in Green County, next to Dorothy Shelley's homeplace.

Link on consequences of legislating - and enforcing morality Here's a link to a cool link on one of the main topics of times in Adair County, found in the NY Times, on an op-ed page, How Dry are We?, the story of Theodore Roosevelt's attempts to enforce prohibition on Sundays - for the working class, the corrupting influence the laws had on law enforcement, and the work-arounds the poor used to gain inbibition equality with the aristocracy. 2014-04-27 05:37:49 | Comments | Printable version
Happy Tail - The Grass is always greener A beautiful day provided more adventure than expected - a canine/equine comedy of chaosm with horses escaping - some onto busy street, Sparksville Road - and canine volunteerism run amuck with herding challenged dogs sending herd in wrong direction, and a chihuahua-wanna-be-heeler trying his skill in he wild roundup. Just 'Another day in the life at Sugarfoot Farm. Never a dull moment,' Peg Schaeffer writes. Next earlier Happy Tail: Happy Tail: Tia, rescued in Knifley, KY, has new home with (KY) New Zealanders Posted April 20, 2014. By Peg Schaeffer Sugarfoot Farm Rescue I was having writer's block this week but the horses came through, as usual, with a story. On Saturday I went to an estate auction. It was supposed to be a "dog free" day but it didn't happen. I shut the gate on the deck and started down the driveway only to be stampeded by the dogs. They managed to open the gate and weren't letting me leave home without them. Back to the drawing board - round up dogs, put some in crates, climb over the fence and try to escape. It couldn't be done without taking Kelsey, Thumbelina, Darryl, and Diablo. Tillie, Bambi, and Snoopy tried to convince me to take them but I was already four over the limit.

Tom Chaney: Catching a Ballad Of Writers And Their Books: Catching a Ballad. Tom prescribes Sharyn McCrumb as the perfect antidote for any spring cleaning, yard work impulse which might threaten this season. This column first appeared 26 April 2009. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Reading Jesus By Tom Chaney Catching a Ballad Sharyn McCrumb has caught me up and fixed me to the topmost limbs of a chestnut tree long dead on the slopes of the eastern mountains. I don't know how to get a' loose. I had read The Songcatcher and thought it a fine book, then the unabridged audio tape of the novel came through the store sometime back. I stuck it in the tape deck of my car and listened to it over the next couple of months whenever I went to the grocery store or the doctor or the bootlegger -- except if you got Ms McCrumb, you don't need a bootlegger.

Nancy Evins: If God were doing the driving... and the talking Nancy Evins: If God were doing the driving... and the talking. Nancy says that God always seems to tell people who hear him speak to do what they wanted to do in the first place. The writer is a resident of Lebanon, TN; who is widely published and was discovered for ColumbiaMagazine by fellow townsperson Robert Stone. Now retired, she is a former member of the American Society of Mental Health Counselors. By Nancy Alley Evins If God were doing the driving... and the talking Many years ago I drove into a parking lot near a mall in Knoxville. I waited patiently for someone to pull out so I could get their space, but before I could turn in, a car from the opposite direction swiftly glided in though knowing I had been there much longer than they.
