Help! Get Me Out of This Rabbit Hole!!

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 25 May

Yes, that’s not a rabbit in the photo, it’s a rooster. I saw that in front of a restaurant when I was in Pigeon Forge last week, and I just had to take a picture of it. I’ve been MIA here, and I apologize. But wow, when I get...

Schmoozing With Famous Politicians

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 18 May

One thing people know about Rabbit Hash, Kentucky is that it’s probably the smartest town in the world. In 1998, Rabbit Hash elected the first mayor in the world who was canine. That’s right, Rabbit Hash is the home of the dog...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 18 May

So, what did I do today? Just the usual. Every time I come to the Smokies it seems as though I have to check these things off my list: *Go to the Chimneys picnic area *Drive through the Smokies *Stop at the overlook on the...

Up on the Gondola

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 17 May

Yesterday it was the hill in northern Kentucky. Tonight it was the Wheel on the Island in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Every time I dare get this far off the ground I mention that I have acrophobia, the fear of heights. I had...

Up on the Hill

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 17 May

You can’t imagine a weirder place for a miniature golf course. It’s up on the hill, behind a strip mall, in the middle of one of the countless suburb towns in northern Kentucky across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. That’s where...

Rosemary, Our Shining Star

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 15 May

When I was in Bloomington, Indiana a couple of weeks ago I paid respects to a couple of the town’s music greats, Hoagy Carmichael and Bobby Helms. Today I paid my respects to Rosemary Clooney, one of Kentucky’s greatest gifts to...

I Went On-a Her House

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 15 May

One of the things I’m really good at is crowing about how much great talent Kentucky has given the world. I came up to northern Kentucky a day before the golf tournament to go visit the hometown of one of our greatest talents,...

Music Obituaries: April 2026

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 14 May

Every month I salute the people in music, from the hall of famers to the barely known or behind the scenes, who passed away in the preceding month. April had a long list of obituaries from all of those categories. Let’s give...

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, or In Search of the Dixie Highway

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 10 May

When I saw Bruce Springsteen here in 1985 on the Born in the USA tour, he sang "Darlington County" (side one, song three, between "Cover Me" and "Working on the Highway," for those of you who read @TheHorse 's discussion on...

Can You Guess What I Found on My Trip??? (Part 2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 6 May

When you’re out looking at scenery there’s nothing like a two-for-one special. That’s what I got at Cataract Falls State Recreation Area, not too far from McCormick’s Creek State Park in Spencer, Indiana. The state recreation...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 6 May

Oh, lookie, she found a waterfall. Who’s surprised?? I actually found three in two stops along the way. I’m starting with the one that cost money. (A gripe: I came home early because of the price of...

A Stop For the Birds!

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 4 May

This discussion is for the birds. Let’s talk Audubon. Have you ever heard of Alexander Wilson, the late 18th/early 19th century Scottish ornithologist who did work in America? You probably haven’t, and the reason for that is...

Watch This Space

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 1 May

If you noticed, there was no teaser for a new music countdown for May. There is a good reason for that. I’m on the road right now, and it really is difficult to do both. Some days when I’m doing laundry I have a hard time...

1956 Top Ten: (You’ve Got) The Magic Touch (#1)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 30 Apr

Going back 70 years we land in 1956. I wasn’t born then. Records were around then, and we can always go back and listen to them! I’ve discovered endless great songs that were around before I was born, so don’t be afraid to...

Good morning from south-central Indiana. I’m still close to home but far enough away to only get traffic if I venture into a school zone at 3 PM. Thanks for spending the last two months celebrating my birthday with...

Maybe you didn’t believe me when I made those 100 favorites lists. Yeah, I really love these songs. Both of today’s songs are on that list. They were released ten years apart, but that doesn’t matter to me. The fact...

1956 Top Ten: The Waltz of the Angels (#2)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 29 Apr

Well, the bad news is that you’re stuck with another 70-year-old classic country music song for today’s celebration. The good news is that it’s the last one. Yes, and we’re revisiting the 100 favorites list...

1956 Top Ten: I Take the Chance (#3)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86213) • United States 28 Apr

No, I wasn’t born in 1956. The great thing about art is that you don’t have to be around when it was created to appreciate it. My niece is a huge Shakespeare fan, for instance. So it’s nothing to love a song that’s 70 years old...
