Nashville discovers a Columbia poet Dr. Ben Arnold has been preparing to publish his first book of poetry, titled "Over the Ditches", sometime in 2026. Ben says he's written the poems over more than 50 years, each dated with place and time. Recently, he has started experimenting with an AI App to set his poems to music, and posting the songs to streaming platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. You can see and hear the results on his YouTube channel, DrArnold. One of the songs has been noticed by a publishing group from Nashville, Diamond Garden Music, and the group has contracted with Ben to add two of his works, 'Aristotle's Butterfly' and 'I forgive Only if Your Breath is within Me', to their next promotional album, Route 66. Promotional albums are sent to singers seeking licensable songs to perform. Over the years, Diamond Garden has provided songs for Nashville legends such as Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Waylon Jennings, and Dolly Parton. Route 66 will be recorded in Nashville, and is planned for a Fall 2026 release. Ben says he is having fun and "has no illusions of them being licensed, but who knows? My dad always said, 'You can't catch a fish unless your line is in the water.'"

Letter: Agree about Frog Legs Donna Rieder writes: I got quite a few chuckles while reading Carol Perkins' article "Frog Legs." I must agree with her, the thought of eating frog legs is just downright disgusting, in my opinion. Not to mention the horrific deaths those poor things suffer: their legs are chopped off and the rest of the frog bleeds to death.
