Tea Time with Appalachian Barbie

Diary of a Chionophile

Monday morning I woke up to the most wonderful sight: it was actually snowing-and laying- in middle Tennessee.  Considering I had been blessed enough to enjoy the Christmas Eve snowstorm in Tri-Cities, I figured I was cashed out on my favorite weather system.  But to my surprise as I was shuffling around the kitchen preparing […]

Wonder Woman 1984

As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Wishes play a huge role in the new film “Wonder Woman 1984” which features our favorite Amazon warrior in a new adventure from director Patty Jenkins. The film is a sequel to the 2017 hit, and advances to the year 1984 where the immortal Diana […]

Rolling Thunder Revue

In 1975, Bob Dylan assembled a group of troubadours and embarked on the somewhat ambitious and unusual “Rolling Thunder Revue.” A two-leg, fifty-seven date tour that took place in smaller venues than the typical stadium tours that were becoming commonplace. The tour was filmed and became the focus for a fictional movie, 1978’s “Renaldo & […]

Happy New Year!

In closing out what probably been the most chaotic year in recent history, a lot of people are excited to kiss 2020 goodbye, claiming it as the “worst year ever.”  Happily I can say I am not one of those people, and while the last 365 days have definitely had their highs and lows, I […]

Voices of Fire

If you need something to lift up your spirits, I  recommend the Netflix series “Voice of Fire”. The documentary series follows pop star Pharrell Williams (“Happy”) and his uncle Bishop Ezekiel Williams and their efforts to bring together a diverse group of excellent singers to be part of a world class gospel choir. The Bishop’s […]

So Long, 2020

Look. You know how you’re feeling. You’re feeling like I am feeling. You’re tired, exhausted, worn out. You know that intellectually the close of 2020 doesn’t mean the magical end of the pandemic. You know that you feel foolish that back in March you thought that we would all do the right thing and be […]

Stayin’ Alive is the Reason for the Season

Happy Holidays everyone!  This week marks the most magical time of the season due to the two most important celebrations all year – mine and Jesus’s birthdays!  (Not New Years, that comes next week.)  Considering how 2020 has played out, I really don’t know what the big man has on his vision board for the […]

The Christmas Chronicles 2

If you are needing some cheer of the holidays, I suggest taking in a viewing of “The Christmas Chronicles 2”, a sequel to the 2018 original. Kurt Russell reprises his role as Santa Claus, and actress Goldie Hawn joins him in the role of Mrs. Claus. This film did have a very limited release in […]

The Diary of The Twelve Days of Christmas

Hello friends and loved ones! A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all. Whatever it is that you celebrate at this time of the year, I hope you have as fine a celebration as possible, while being safe and smart. This week, I’m doing something a bit different. I’d like to share with […]

Bob Ledford was born in Johnson City, Tn.  At the young age of 4 years old his father passed away leaving his mother to raise him alone.  When Bob graduated high school in 2004 at the age of 17 his mother gave her consent for him to join the United States Army and he left […]

Starbucks to Starbroke

The day this article hits public consumption is going to be a very happy day for me.  That’s because December 15th is my next payday, and due to a variety of reasons, I somehow managed to turn the first half of this month into a fiscal dumpster fire and your girl is feeling the burn.  […]

First with the release of her new Christmas album ” A Holly Dolly Christmas”, and now with the new Christmas movie “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square.” Congratulations Dolly you did […]
