It’s Friday afternoon in Nashville and time to relax with a very tasty treat. After a full day of CMA Music Festival related activities and a nice run I thought I’d check out the end of the week emails. There are a number of them that come in from Washington, DC. Like the NAWG Newsletter. In it I learned of …
Joe Jobe Performs on the Dave Nemo XM Radio Show
You may not know that the CEO of the National Biodiesel Board is a musician with a great voice. I think we need to get Joe Jobe here at the CMA Music Festival up on stage.

Live on the Dave Nemo XM Radio Show

PERC’ed Up To Go To Washington

Propane Days is put on by the National Propane Gas Association to educate policymakers on the benefits of propane. I’ll be there for a couple of days to chronicle …
