The Guardians/Tigers game in Detroit on Monday was rained/snowed out. The two teams will try a double header on Tuesday starting at 1:10. This can be a relatively usual occurence this time of year as the seasons are still in transition. Let's just hope that this doesn't end up being like last season!

The Guardians had to cancel 8 games in just Apil and May! Mostly fo rain, but at least one due to sickness. It just seemed like every other game was getting cancelled last year! It really almost became comical how often it was happening. Fingers crossed we don't see the same thing this year and we will actually see some baseball out on the field.

Luke Combs had asked fans to help him decide his next single, it was up to "Love You Anyway" and "5 Leaf Clover", and the fans have spoken. His next single will be the former of the two choices.

He announced the winning song at his show in Nashville over the weekend telling the crowd, "So, about a week and a half ago, I guess. I announced that I was going to let you guys decide what my next single was going to be at country radio. And we had a vote. You could vote on Love You Anyway or 5 Leaf Clover. Which one you wanted me to put out to the radio and it was real close. I think it was 51%-49% So it was neck in neck. But the song we’re about to play you right now is the winner. I got my friend Wes from Flatland Calvary on the fiddle playing for us. So yeah, this is my next single at country radio it’s called Love You Anyway."

Luke said about his next radio single, "Love You Anyway is a song that I wrote on my porch with Dan Isbell, Ray Fulcher and I had been on stage Valentine’s Day of 2020 right before COVID happened. And my wife was sick and was on the bus. She was out with us, but she was on the bus, I believe, and I didn’t know at the time if she was in there or not. And so as I was introing another song, I said, you know, I don’t I don’t know if you’re in here, but I love you anyways. And my buddy Dan had wrote that down and we ended up writing it a few months later."

It all began Sunday afternoon. I cut the grass for the first time this season. I'll tell you...BOY DID IT NEED IT! My yard was starting to look like the Matthews family jungle!! I was trying to put it off as long as possible (as were my neighbors) but we couldn't wait any longer. 

Even though I have a small Cuyahoga Falls-sized yard and can cut everything in 20-30 mintes, I still don't really enjoy it. I think it's because it feels like it's hard to fit in with my schedule. I will say though, after I was done, it looks NICE! We put down some new grass in my backyard last year, and then fertilized. Now, the grass is really green and thick! Hopefully it'll stay that way as long as possible before things turn brown :(.

This phrase may get overused, but in this case it's true! This Sunday, April 16th will mark the final performance for "Phantom of The Opera" on Broadway in New York! It opened January 26, 1988...that's a little over 35 years!!!! I was still in diapers when it opened! That is an amazingly long run.

This is by far my favorite musical production of all time. My family went to see it in Toronto in the early 90s, but I was too young to sit through it so I stayed behind :(. I have seen it several times at Playhouse Square, I've seen it in Pittsburgh, I've seen the sequel stage play (and loved that too). Everytime it comes to town, I make sure to get tickets to go see it. I remember going to see the 2004 movie with Gerard Butler and Patrick Wilson in theaters, and I own that movie on DVD. I have the Royal Albert Hall stage performance from PBS on VHS.

It is among the longest running plays in history in the world. That is a huge accomplishment! All good things must come to an end...

The Legend of Zelda is one of my favorite video game franchises, and it's definitely my favorite of Nintendo's. So with Tears of The Kingdom releasing in less than a month, and the latest trailer dropping today, this seems like a great opportunity for a trailer Thursday. Give it a watch here!

Bailey Zimmerman earned his second #1 song this week with "Rock and a Hard Place", and today, he sent his next single to radio! "Religiously" is the title track to his full-length debut album that will drop on May 12th. Bailey said the song is about sometimes putting your pride aside to let the good things happen. From this song he realized that if he would have put his pride to the side, he might still have the one that really, truly loved him.
