Happy Monday!! Hope you had a fantastic weekend! Hey - Todd Snider is doing this story page called The Snider Files - which is really fantastic with the help of Daryl Sanders. He’s such a story teller His latest blog is about my Dad and how much he influenced him and introduced him to really good (Americana) music - and it includes a playlist of the first songs that Todd was inspired by when he was living with us in the 80’s (he was a teenager when he moved in….Dad would take in songwriters and there were a string of them living with us throughout my childhood… you should really check it out. https://www.thesniderfiles.com/p/todd-sniders-paper-napkin-hall-of . Here’s the Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0AStQo9X8qri5mtfa2P5AM?si=676c4c53924f493b He’s not one my artists but is still like a brother. Brian T. Atkinson wrote a book about him called East Nashville Skyline - The Songwriting Legacy of Todd Snider that will be available next year and he interviewed about 65+ songwriters about him and the whole first half is Todd telling his crazy own tale! Brian T.'s Nanci Griffith book (Love at the Five and Dime - The Songwriting Legacy of Nanci Griffith) JUST came out, and it’s a joy to read: https://eight30records.bandcamp.com/merch/love-at-the-five-and-dime-the-songwriting-legacy-of-nanci-griffith
