“Surely I Will”

One of the best things the SN does that no one - including me, until now - gives them enough credit for is putting together the Just Call It Southern compilation discs for magazine subscribers. I purposely wait to renew my subscription at NQC every year just to get the cds. Yeah, the songs are […]

Assertive

Beyond our own borders

As I threatened slash promised a few days ago that I would do, I want to elaborate fairly briefly (for me, at least, about this particular subject, anyway) on some of the alternatives […]
