KNEE-DEEP Playlist/BEN GREENE, Guest

Banjoist Ben Greene is my special guest on this week's show. He has a new CD called, "Bluegrass Sideman". I have known Ben for many years, but my husband Terry grew up with Ben in Monroe, North Carolina. They have been friends for more than 40 years. Ben plays banjo with "Carolina Road". On his new CD, he is joined in the studio by many musicians and singers that he has worked with over the years: David Parmley, Randy Graham, Allen Mills, Lorraine Jordan, James King and more.

In 2011: I Want To Be Like A Hammer...

As a new year begins, it seems to get us thinking - usually of ways we can improve ourselves. I have the normal 'eat better and exercise more' attitude (again) this year, but something else occurred to me after seeing a simple statement somewhere. To really improve our lives, our attitude and our day to day, being like a hammer seems to be the best way to strive for.

The hammer keeps its head....doesn't fly off the handle.,,,keeps pounding away....finds the point, then drives it home. It looks at the other side, too, and clinches the matter. When the hammer makes mistakes, it starts all over.

So, KEEP POUNDING AWAY, folks!
