New Years with the Kentucky Headhunters and Artimus Pyle By Big Al Owens On New Year's Eve, I moseyed over to Glasgow, Kentucky with my friend Crystal Stotts and got to celebrate the new year with the Kentucky Headhunters and Artimus Pyle from Lynyrd Skynyrd. I had the pleasure of being able to hang out with Fred and Richard Young and also spoke with legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Artimus Pyle. It was a great performance which ended up with the entire theater singing Dumas Walker at midnight. Fans were also treated to a legendary drum solo that included Fred Young from the Kentucky Headhunters, Artimus Pyle from Lynyrd Skynyrd, and John Fred Young from Blackstone Cherry. People were dancing in the aisles at the Plaza Theater. We also ran into an old friend Tommy Corbin who is a police officer in Glasgow now. It was a very beautiful New Year's Eve party and many people who were in attendance got the show of a lifetime. --Big Al 2019-01-02 21:25:06 | Comments | Printable version

See the accident coming and quickly buckle up?" Here's the link to Bob Mayer's article. - JMC 2019-01-02 09:25:16 | Comments | Printable version
Education leaders watch for pension reform, charter schools in 2019 By Aaron Mudd, Bowling Green Daily News Local educators will be watching state lawmakers closely in 2019 as they take another shot at fixing Kentucky's strained pension system and possibly grapple with a charter schools funding mechanism. Although lawmakers won't consider a state budget this year, Kentucky's Department of Education will ask them to let K-12 funding follow students to a charter school of their parent's choice. That notion has drawn mixed reactions from some lawmakers, including Sen. Mike Wilson, R-Bowling Green, who told regional superintendents in a meeting last month that he doesn't see much eagerness among lawmakers for that concept.
