Here is a great song from back in the day. Not one of the hits from STP’s Purple album, but a favorite around here. And hey, listen to the lyrics. It’s a river song.
Is STP getting back together? Is Scott Weiland still alive? These guys used to be good.

3 brothers and their cousin make up this Tennesse rock band, Kings of Leon. There are many great tracks on this, their newest album, but ‘On Call’ stands out the most. A great river song, I think.

Paddle Pickup 2008
This year the Bardstown Boaters hosted their 4th Annual Paddle Pickup on the Beech Fork of the Salt River in Bardstown, KY. The Bardstown Boaters along with help from a total near 50 volunteers from across the state cleaned well over a ton of garbage from the Beech Fork. The section cleaned was from highway 49 to the Nelson County Fairgrounds.
The Paddle Pickup has now
cleaned 13 miles of the Beech Fork in all, from
Highway 605 in Manton to Highway 31E in Bardstown.
The Bardstown Boaters are all ready looking forward
to cleaning up more waste from our local waterways
next year.
A very special thanks tp these people and
organizations who make the Paddle Pickup such a huge
success.

Salt River Paddle Battle
Registration still open!
The Paddle Battle on Salt River is an endurance canoe and kayak race geared to test paddlers' stamina and skill on a course between Taylorsville and Shepherdsville on the main stem of the river.
Beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 14th in Taylorsville, the race will continue for the next 24 hours until all paddlers end up at the Louisville South KOA campground, where free camping is made available for participants.
Paddlers in the open canoe and kayak class are expected to begin arriving at the finish line sometime before 7 p.m. Saturday, while those entering in stock divisions will spend their night at one of several designated camping stops along the river - finishing the course Sunday morning just before the awards banquet begins.
Getting off rain or shine, low or high-water, the event will be, without a doubt, it will be a challenge for all.
"There have been canoe races on the Salt before, but never seen anything like this," Hammons said. "This is a great opportunity for those wanting to explore the main stem who never have had the oomph or partner to do it alone. It's also great way to bring much-needed attention to one of the tri-county area's greatest resources."
Cost to enter the race is $30 and includes Sunday brunch, a t-shirt and a chance at winning prize awards for beating out the rest of the field. Those interested in participating need to pre-register with Mike Hammons by calling (502) 507-9364 or online at www.kycanoe.com.
