Good one from a music friend: β€œGood thing Congress isn’t alive to see this.”

If 81% of Republicans consider him to be β€œmentally sharp” I definitely have to question the mental sharpness of 81% of Republicans. That doesn’t even come close to a majority of the voting public, but that still makes for an awful lot of β€œmentally dull” people out there driving vehicles, etc.

We appreciate the turnout this weekend for shows in upstate NY in weather that would definitely have cancelled shows in Tennessee!

Attempting to dig up two hours’ worth of positive classic bluegrass love songs for today’s Valentine’s Day Eve Truegrass show on SiriusXM Bluegrass Junction. It’s harder than you might think, but there’s one song on this 1975 record that qualifies and I’ll be playing it. 3:00 PM EST/noon PST

And it was paid for by Canada. He probably just wants it named the Donald Trump-Gordie Howe Bridge. I wish I was kidding.

. . . and I didn’t think anyone in North America called it β€œice hockey” anyway.

And now, astute speculation about Canada/China relations from random crazy guy on a street corner:

β€œThe first thing they’re going to do is say, β€˜You’re not allowed to play ice hockey anymore,’” he said. β€œThat’s not good, Canada’s not going to like that.” #Canada

Even though 6 likes represents a viral post for me on Bluesky, I intend to continue believing in and supporting this very worthy platform in 2026.

This was a European tour that ended abruptly in Bavaria, with multiple broken ribs and surgery for a ruptured spleen. Life is unpredictable! @jamiegangel.bsky.social
