1/10/10 New Videos posted and CLL Blog Updated! Eight more Miles to Louisville -Terry Baker on Fiddle, Bryan Hayes on Guitar, and me from The Sucarnochee Revue 1/1/10. One of my all time favorite songs. Hats off to GrandPa Jones on this one.
The Family Who Prays - My daughter, Piper Lauderdale and Me with this Louvin Brothers song. Bryan Hayes on Guitar.
Weapon of Prayer - another of my favorites. Always seems to fit our nation, which seems to always have troops at risk somewhere in the world. I salute them all for their service and sacrifice. Another Louvin Brothers Tune.
Born Again - Piper and I seem to be unable to get away from those Louvin Brothers Duets . . . and why would we want to?
1/7/10 CLL BLOG UPDATED 12/26/09 CLL Blog Updated 12/25/09 Merry Christmas. CLL Blog Updated 12/13/09 CLL Blog Updated - - COST OF FCR CHEMOTHERAPY PUBLISHED Audio files from 12/4/09 Sucarnochee Revue Dig a Hole in the Meadow - Traditional Arrangement ©2009 J. Christopher Sharp/Stump Shipped Music/ASCAP - - A sultry arrangement. I am playing the Mando-Cello. Me, Augie Joachim on bass, and Bryan Hayes doing a fine job on the resonator guitar. The Christmas Spirit - ©2005 J. Christopher Sharp/Stump Whipped Music/ASCAP - - A Christmas song I wrote several years ago. We did not do a multi-track audio recording of this show. This was recorded on my Zoom H4 which I placed beside the FOH mixer. A rouge cell phone which beeped and beeped and beeped messed up the intro of this song. You do not hear the beep since I cut it out, but you do hear Barry Roebuck (FOH engineer) and one of his assistants discussing this during a break in the song. I usually do this as a duet with my daughter, Piper, but she was unable to be there, helping her mother at a Christmas party at Timberview Lodge. Enjoy these songs! 11/11/09 Clint Jordan puttin' it in there on "Wild Horses." from the 11/6/09 Sucarnochee Revue

7/21/09 You Tube Posting "Bye Bye Birdie"
7/20/09 Check it out! I just posted this on YouTube. My first posting. 7/9/09 Incontrovertible evidence that rural Mississippi has made enormous strides in making all the conveniences and comforts of modern American urban civilization available to its citizens, as seen in this photograph I took of a sign on the door of a restroom in a country store in Preston, Mississippi, in Kemper county. Now, rural Mississippians no longer have to feel like second rate citizens. Things not heretofore found in rural Mississippi, things formerly available only to the citizens of America's cosmopolitan areas have finally come to the country. There is no longer any reason to move to the city, since there's One of my close friends from the Northeast once callously and ignorantly remarked, "Going to Mississippi is like going to a third world country." It turns out that my friend had never been to Mississippi, nor had he ever been to a third world country. From time to time I remind my friend that he once said that. Over the years, something keeps bringing him back this third world country that is Mississippi. Maybe it's something in the water. Maybe it's our mild winters. Maybe it's our hot, torpid summers. Maybe it's the pace we set during those hot summers. Maybe it's the people. The song says, "I've been everywhere, man!" I have, too. Everywhere I've been, as my wife will attest, I come back saying that where I just was was a really great place. Maybe some folks enjoy their own company and the company of others in such a way that the PLACE is irrelevant. Maybe some folks can't do that. I know one thing . . . I look out over the hills at my home in the mornings and I like it here in Mississippi just fine . . . but then again, I was born here. Lucky me! The sign on the bathroom door is really an indictment that rural areas have slunk to the level of urbanity. That's a shame!
