I love golf, football, basketball, fast cars, good BBQ, good music and, most of all, I love spending every afternoon with you. I grew up when the Memphis Sound, Motown Sound, and what we refer to now as Southern Soul or Blues. A lot of great music came out of that era. I was born and raised in Chattanooga TN./Calhoun Ga. (don't ask, it's very complicated). My claim to fame is that I went to Booker T. Washington Elementary School in Chattanooga, TN. Thanks for listening to 92.9 WTUG.

Be Careful Re-potting Plants
Well it’s time of year. It’s time to think about spring cleaning, landscaping and re-potting the plants. A couple of years ago I re-potted a beautiful Spathiphyllum aka Peace Lilly I had for almost 5 years and it died. During those 5 years I never re-potted or even thought about re-potting it...
