Welp, I was thinking about going to one of those White Sox games. Glad I didn't bother.

Grover Hartley is one of nine players named "Grover" to play in the major leagues. There has been only one since the 1930s: Grover Powell, who appeared in twenty games for the Mets in 1963. I guess nobody names their kid "Grover" anymore.
Dick Greco played twelve seasons in the minors, hitting 328 home runs, but never got a chance in the majors.
Red Rush was a radio broadcaster for the White Sox, the Athletics, and the Cardinals.
Mike Reilly was a major league umpire from 1977-2010.
Steve Vai – Tender Surrender
In 1986 I went to see Crossroads and got introduced to Steve Vai as the devil's guitar player, so time and money well spent.

Friday Music Day – Bluegrass and High Hopes
We had some exciting musical news in the family recently. For many years my big brother Boe has been writing songs as a hobby and he's made a lot of friends and connections along the way. Well, one thing led to another and a couple of weeks ago he went to Nashville and signed a contract with bluegrass publisher Billy Blue Records for a song he wrote called Widow's Bridge. They'll be recording a demo soon and then start shopping it around to bands. No guarantees in the music business, of course, but he's pretty excited about it and I'm real happy for my big brother. So drop your lists, and if you have a favorite bluegrass tune to share, holler it out. I'm real partial to John Hartford's take on this classic, myself.
