Found photos of people standing on one leg are from the archive of collector Robert E. Jackson. “This post contains some real masterpieces from my collection,” he tells us. :Should be one lots of people will like.” Let’s see…     Well, you can rock, it you can roll it Do the stomp and even stroll it at the hop When the record starts spinnin’ You Chalypso and you Chicken at the hop Do the dance sensations that are sweepin’ the nation at the hop – Danny and the Juniors, At The Hop     “My favourite piece of information is that Branwell Brontë, brother of Emily and Charlotte, died standing up leaning against a mantle piece, in order to prove it could be done” – Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time     “We may stand, if only on one leg, or at least be left still upon our knees.” ― J. R. R. Tollkien, The Return of the King     “They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like a pain of an amputated leg no longer there.” ― Graham Greene, Our Man in Havana     When I looked straight ahead, I had no idea where my left leg was, nor indeed any definite feeling of its existence. I had to look down, for vision was crucial. And when I did look down I had momentary difficulty in recognizing the object next to my right foot as my left foot. It did not seem to belong to me in any way. I never thought of putting any weight on it, of using it at all. So I stood, or was stood, supported not by my legs, but by crutches and physiotherapists, in a strange, and rather terrifying, stillness — that intense stillness which occurs when something momentous is about to happen. Into this stillness, this transfixion, brisk voices broke in. “Come on, Dr. Sacks! You can’t stand there like that – like a stork on one leg. You’ve got to use the other one, put weight on it too!” “What ‘other one’?”… – Oliver Sachs, A Leg To Stand On     He had taken me aside one day and promised me a silver fourpenny on the first of every month if I would only keep my “weather-eye open for a seafaring man with one leg” and let him know the moment he appeared – Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island     “For in grief nothing “stays put.” One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down it? How often – will it be for always? – how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, “I never realised my loss till this moment”? The same leg is cut off time after time.” — C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed     We’ve lots more from Robert E. Jackson on the site. And you can follow him here for more great stuff.

“I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.” –King David  This column is written each Tuesday evening prior to the Thursday publication. Therefore, I am not able to watch President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. I actually find that to be a blessing, as 4 or 5 minutes of watching Trump is …

If you’re not familiar with Trey Pendley yet, let this be an introduction. Like most small town kids growing up in the ’90s and early 2000s, Pendley – who hails from Toad Suck, Arkansas with a population of 300 – grew up listening to a whole lot of music. Inspired by artists ranging from George Jones to Ozzy Osbourne, he taught himself to play guitar and write songs, and I guess you could say the rest is history. Ultimately moving to Nashville to pursue his dreams in country music, Pendley now resides in the Music City with his wife and three children all these years later, and in addition to having had a song of his cut by Luke Combs, he has experienced considerable success as a solo artist along the way. And his most impressive work yet is set to drop soon. Releasing via Leo33 – the same indie label that boasts Zach Top, Clay Street Unit, Jason Scott & the High Heat and more on their roster – Pendley’s forthcoming EP Podunk marks his first project ever, and features six original tunes that act as a love letter of sorts to his small town upbringing. Although the full project isn’t dropping until tomorrow, Whiskey Riff is excited to give country music fans an early listen of “Like A River,” which may just be the strongest track on the EP. Written as a love song to his wife Lexi – a fellow songwriter whom he met on a writer’s retreat – “Like A River” is a deftly-penned metaphor for love, and one that fans everywhere are sure to appreciate. Speaking to Whiskey Riff, Pendley elaborated a bit on the new song: “I wrote ‘Like A River’ thinking about how love can feel like surrender. You can fight the current, or you can let it carry you. When you find somebody who accepts you as you are, broken parts and all, it makes you want to stop looking back and start imagining a future, and that’s exactly how it happened when I met my wife, Lexi.” With that context in mind, check out Trey Pendley’s track “Like A River” before it drops with his Podunk EP tomorrow. “When you held me in your arms My rough edges get smooth Put the light back in your eyes You’ve never seen a brighter blue You say I rolled in right on time If you look too hard, it gets hard to find” Featuring six tracks – including “Drunk As Any Rich Man” which was quick to gain traction upon its release last summer – Podunk is a perfect representation of Pendley’s personality and songwriting prowess. Traversing between lighthearted, cleverly penned tracks and soulfully heartfelt ballads, Pendley’s ability to capture the feeling of small town America through the lens of his own experiences is noteworthy, and most importantly, he does so in a way that avoids cliches and beams with originality. Podunk Tracklist: “Drunk As Any Rich Man” “Podunk” “Like A River” “As Good As It Gets” “The Dog” “TV Tray” Aside from a rogue show supporting legendary southern rockers Blackberry Smoke in Myrtle Beach this spring, there aren’t many opportunities to hear these songs live on the calendar at the moment… But hey, maybe this is your excuse to head out to Alaska this summer?
