Busy times! We had a great rehearsal last Thursday at Beth's house, getting ready for the Historic Oakland Cemetery Festival coming up October 4th. We plan to rehearse again this Thursday, and we would be getting together on weekends, too, except I was in Arkansas last weekend for my nephew, Justin's, wedding, and I'll be in Charlotte, North Carolina this weekend for the wedding of the daughter of some of my dearest friends.
This week is taken up by bad weather and flooding in Atlanta. How bad's the weather, you ask? In some parts, they've gotten more than 15 inches of rain...in 24 hours! That's on top of what they've gotten over the week leading up to it. That means lots of flooding. I've been covering flooding around Peachtree Creek, which flooded about 4 or 5 feet deeper than when Hurricane Ivan came through five years ago. Flooding is such a devastating catastrophe, and the muddy water has swirled around in countless houses and apartments. Many of the victims have been very kind about sharing their stories with me, and our viewers.
We have a couple of river songs on the upcoming CD; how about that?
