Kenny Chesney
Spotlight
There's an industry that revolves around concert tours. A long caravan of buses and trucks typically carries instruments, lights, sound equipment, costumes, stage crew and performers. Country singer/songwriter Kenny Chesney, who turns 40 today, likes to go light from time to time. With a convoy of just four buses, he travels to informal venues — often near college campuses — then sets up his instruments and performs, for free. There is no official announcement, no tickets, no hard-and-fast program. It's what Chesney does when he's not, well... working. Chesney calls these his "Keg in the Closet" shows, and he often starts his performance with the hit song of the same name.

"If you pull a heartstring, then that's what country music is." Kenny Chesney

Word of the day
vernal (vûr'nəl)
adj.
  1. Of, relating to, or occurring in the spring.
  2. Characteristic of or resembling spring.
  3. Fresh and young; youthful.

[Latin vernalis, from vernus, from ver, spring.]

vernally ver'nal·ly adv. Houghton Mifflin Company)
Usage: Since vernal means spring it makes sense that it's called the vernal equinox.
For those in the northern hemisphere, spring has sprung. Flowers are blooming, the world is green, and we can feel summer in the air. Take a whiff of this week's words having to do with spring and regrowth.
Previous words: equinox, effloresce, juvenescent
