Locked Down and Locked In.....

Locked Down and in By: Sr.Staff Journalist George Penden
Now we’re all into hunkering down, there is time. Lots of time. Time to listen to the radio, and discover vibrant and exciting music. With a clear new country leaning, https://americascountry.us/ offers minimal advertising interruption, blending 90s up to modern times with a mix that soon becomes addictive.
Outside the rain is falling. Hard. The street splashes to life with every passing car. A perfect backdrop to the scene setting is an icy and howling wind, whistling like an eerie banshee. The mood is in one word, dark to me. After 14, 24 hour anxious ridden days of TV depression as that's all I need. The coronavirus taunts us all, I’m feeling a tad blue, trapped and overwhelmed.
A lifelong ambition to grow a beard brings little joy. A look in the mirror shows a greying mass of unkempt bristles, as I’m reminded I look older than I am. Time ticks away slowly. Which can be bad. Maybe.
Right there on my TV ( computer or phone) comes the musical saviour. YouTube and Facebook.
With so much time, there’s a chance to dip into acts giving of their time with house-bound concerts. Magic.
My first find is a good ol’ gal with a wide smile and a beehive hairdo. Cadie Calhoun now calls Nashville home, after being born and raised in Hattiesburg, Mississipi. With a keen and polished confidence, honed out of church and the haunts of Lower Broadway, Calhoun is a dynamo of talent, humour and crossover pop and country. This is a talent radio should not ignore.
She’s worth staying home for. Check out her in-house performances at https://www.facebook.com/cadiecalhounmusic/
Try it.
In case you missed it, several weeks back Keith Urban did a global concert from his musical warehouse. Personal and intimate, the concert covered a range of hits and others from Urban’s catalogue. Re-live or see for the first time, it’s a performance not to be missed.
