SUMMARY:

Tim Rogers, a multi-instrumentalist from Lucedale, Miss., has been a musician since childhood, starting with a drum set from Sears. Over the years, he recorded eight records locally, but recently recorded a new EP titled Kind Words & Cool Water in a Nashville studio. Inspired by a saying from a family friend, the EP includes seven songs about George County places and people, blending country and southern rock genres. Encouraged by his pastor and manager, Howard Lips Jr., Rogers connected with Cinderella Sound Studio and recorded with top musicians. Country Music Hall of Fame harmonica player Charlie McCoy also contributed, making the experience a dream come true for Rogers.

SUMMARY: Spring is here in Mississippi, prompting many to venture out on the state’s waterways. Before heading out, it’s crucial to review boater safety skills. Those born after June 30, 1980, must complete a state-accredited boater safety course, which covers vital topics like water safety and navigation rules. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) offers the course online or in person, with various locations available year-round. Successful completion may also help reduce insurance premiums. For more information, contact MDWFP or check their website. Enjoy the beautiful weather, but prioritize safety on the water!
