Music on the Mountain Series this weekend

This weekend come on down to Lynn's Market Friday night from 7pm - 10pm for "The Local Group" and "Bred", two young musical groups.

Then Saturday night come to Sweet Gipsy from 6:30-10pm for Jim Palmour and The Gypsy Truckers, led by Mario Piccolo for some good solid Americana music. Sweet Gipsy is serving dinner featuring "fix-your-own" quesadillas. After Jim and the Truckers, stick around for open mike.

Both events are benefits for the MACC and are sponsored by the MACC Foundation. Hope to see everyone.

Education discussion this Saturday

This Saturday, August 28 The League of Signal Mountain Voters will sponsor a discussion on education led by Dan Challener, CEO of the Public Education Foundation. It will be 10-11am at Sweet Gipsy Coffee Shop. Should be an excellent discussion on a very important issue. Hope everyone can come.

Friday Nite Live at Lynn's featuring The Orchard Band

Just a reminder that this Friday, August 13 The Orchard Band (Alice and Robert Thatcher, Paul Hendricks) will be performing from 7-10pm at Lynn's Market on Signal Mountain (Taft Highway just past Ace Hardware on the right if you are coming from Chattanooga). Come on down and have some BBQ or Burgers with beer or brown-bagging allowed. Family friendly atmosphere.

In Memoriam: Robert Bruce Warren Scott

I lost a dear friend recently. Robert Scott was a good man with a big heart. I first met him when he began teaching my son to play the bagpipes. I found that he was a man of many talents and interests and a father who loved his son deeply. I witnessed his pride at his son's military service and his anxiety when his son was serving in Iraq. I saw his kindness to my son as he taught him not only how to play the bagpipes, but how to take care of them and about the Scottish culture that he loved so much. He was an early supporter of my political career and helped me immensely by creating my campaign website and introducing me to the blog that you are reading right now. He contributed his deep, strong voice to my son's Eagle Project as narrator of his video on the Medal of Honor Museum. I didn't learn of his passing until I returned from our vacation and unfortunately missed his memorial service. He was a fine man and I will miss his friendship. I offer my deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Here is a link to his obituary in the Chattanoogan with info on ways to honor Bob's memory. Rest in peace my friend.
