Today, MONDAY with CM, July 18, 2011

Here are quick links to a fabulous SUNDAY with CM for July 17, 2011.

A Best Ever Story on CM: All of the columns and poems and photos were wonderful yesterday, but the story sent by Jim about the Weed Civil War reunion is one of the best ever on ColumbiaMagazine.com.

Photos fewer, but maybe more better And there are some extraordinary old photos by Larry Smith for SUNDAY with CM, July 17, 2011.

Also, about this Larry Smith: We may not be able to print every single fan letter we receive about his recent round of photographs, for two reasons: 1) It may be an overwhelming job, and 2) We don't want it on our conscience that we might be guilty of giving him the Big Head. We don't want anyone to say we changed this shy rising star from Summersville, KY at all. Larry Smith will be on The WAVE, 92.7 FM this morning. (270) 384-7979. This afternoon, the other Larry Smith, his clone (we think), will be on The Big Dawg, FM 99.9 FM (public phone not known here at CM). But, we may continue the Louie-Louie Larry Smith photo-thon for a few more pictures before resuming normal postings. (Update: 8:01amCT: From Larry Smith's Biggest fan: "The number at the Big Dawg is 789-0099."

One very huge disappointment yesterday We didn't have a Carol Perkins column! A biggy. We've launched an internal investigation to see whether we lost it, or whether highly noticeable absence was due to Carol's mind being scattered, or whether she has just been too busy with her t-shirt business, Uptown Designs, to remember her vast, loyal readership. We'll get to the bottom of this, soon

A More Likable CM: And yesterday saw the introduction to A More Likeable CM, with Facebook Like buttons, Twitter buttons, and Google + buttons. Several had asked for those.

Also: Please hold your horses on the Sunday night singing at Tabor Community Church. Patricia Hadley is responsible for sending this. Blame her, not us, if you don't know the group which will be singing at the church which perhaps started this wonderful Adair County tradition.
