I skimmed through the January edition of SN at my parents house the other day and couldn’t find Jerry Kirksey’s “Perspective” column. We just got home from vacation today and our mail hasn’t been delivered yet, so I can’t confirm it. So, help me out: Is Kirksey’s article in the January issue? Since he had started Part 1 of a series in December I assumed it should be…

You pointed out that the Booth Brothers won a Fan Award for “He Saw It All” vs. ending up at #13 on the year end airplay chart.

“He Saw It All” first appeared on the chart at position 23 in October 2005, moving to 16 in November, 6 in December, 3 in January 2006, and finally hitting number one position in February. Those three months from 2005 didn’t count for the overall 2006 chart, of course. If the year had been measured from July 2005 to June 2006, “He Saw It All” would probably have been in the top five.

Am I missing something or is this actually the January, 2007 issue of SN?

Yes, I saw that. In fact, that was what prompted me to remember to write a review. Only problem is, I wrote the review and forgot to mention it.

Did anyone besides me notice that the crossword clues didn’t match the puzzle this month? I don’t normally give the crossword a second glance, but for some reason I looked at it this time.

For example, the clue to 7 across is: “Cream of the crop from the Statesmen and Blackwood Brothers joined to form ______ ________” and the answer given in the back is Arthur Rice…no wonder that guy can sing so great!

There’s a two word clue for 8 across…”_____ ______ once was a funeral director.” The problem is there is no 8 across…only an 8 down with just three letters, the answer being “May.”
