#amwriting to Morgan Wade – According to ‘About the Artist’ retrieved August 24, 2023 on Spotify, “Most artists don't top Rolling Stone's Best Country Albums of the year list with their debut album. But most artists aren't Morgan Wade, who earned the top spot with her scathingly honest and raw 2021 LP Reckless.
“While Reckless, and its Top 30 lead single "Wilder Days," busted down the doors and introduced Wade as a once-in-a- generation songwriter, she now readies her anticipated follow-up project, Psychopath, arriving Aug. 25.
An astounding 13-track LP, Psychopath most excitingly finds Wade peeling back layers of her psyche like never before. Wade has been no stranger to the road throughout the first quarter of 2023 on her headlining NO SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN TOUR, which sold out 35 shows for more than 40,000 tickets sold.
A Virginia native, Wade has broken away from the pack to become one of country music's most compelling new voices. Possessed with a raw and unflinching voice anchored by a perfect tinge of twang; the rare ability to pen honest portraits of some of life's most precious and painful and unpredictable moments; and an onstage vulnerability that so seamlessly breaks down the wall between fan and artist, Wade has quickly made her mark on the country music scene- and the music world at large-with nominations for ACM New Female Artist of the Year, Americana Music Association Emerging Act of the Year, and CMT Breakthrough Female Video of the Year…

Sunday, August 20, 2023: Marvin Gaye "What's Going On / What's Happening Brother" May 5, 2020: An excerpt from the recently released DVD of some of Marvin's greatest live performances on TV and film, "Real Thing: In Performance 1964-1981," This live performance comes from the long out-of-circulation 1973 film, "Save The Children" with James Jamerson on bass.
The restaurant is well lit and fun - nicely
decorated and obviously well-maintained. The folks that work there obviously like the restaurant. The staff was very
welcoming and friendly. The food was great with great prices, and a large
parking lot – right off Rte 15. We look forward to returning soon.
We really liked the 1.3-acre park. It was
well maintained and picturesque. It is obvious that Thurmont loves the park –
and that folks enjoy it. The park comes complete with a bubbling stream that
runs through the park – not far from a memorial pavilion that honors local
folks who have served in the military and fought in a nation’s wars to maintain
the freedoms and quality of life we enjoy. It was a great evening, and we look
forward to returning to Thurmont.
“The Town of
Thurmont also acquired and displays one of the trolley cars that was once
utilized in Thurmont’s history. The building that was once used to house all
the electrical components that operated the trolley sits at the beginning of
the trail on East Main Street.
“The Town of
Thurmont and the Thurmont Lions Club has installed murals on the building
depicting the history of Thurmont...
“From 1908 to 1954,
Thurmont was the "end of the line" for the trolley system that
traveled from Frederick to Thurmont. During its hay day in the 1920's, the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway (H &F) carried 3.8 million people per
year.
“However, with
great strides in the world of transportation, the demands for the trolley
dwindled and the H&F made its final trip to Thurmont in 1954 and the tracks
were removed. The existing trail begins at the historical trolley car and
promotes a glimpse at Thurmont’s historical transportation services. Today, the
trail is heavily used by residents and visitors for hiking, jogging, biking,
and enjoying nature.”
