Tonight at midnight, my new single “Do The Fireworks Still Feel The Same?” officially drops wherever you stream music.

Before the rest of the world gets it at midnight, I’ve opened the door early at LaneAlanDumser.com.

This song came from thinking about the difference between the 1976 Bicentennial I remember as a boy and this 250-year milestone we are living through now.

America was not perfect then. We were not all the same. We did not all agree. But somehow, being American still felt big enough to hold all of us.

This time around, the fireworks are still bright, the flag is still flying, and the songs are still playing… but something feels different inside the country.

This song is not about hating America. It is about missing the feeling that America once gave me — the feeling that we could disagree and still recognize each other as neighbors, as regular folks, and as Americans.

I still believe in regular folks. I still believe we are better than all this noise.

I just know I sure miss the days when America felt big enough for all of us.

Get it early at LaneAlanDumser.com or DixonSpringsMusic.com

Available everywhere else worldwide tonight at midnight.

Have a safe and wonderful 4th y'all.

I have to admit, this little website launch that overlapped the worldwide release of my first solo album has already really surprised me.

I publicly announced LaneAlanDumser.com and DixonSpringsMusic.com this morning at 7:00 a.m. Central time on Facebook and Instagram, and in just over 13 hours, the sites have already seen hundreds of visits/views from 45 different locations, countries or regions around the world.

Of course, my local home area showed up first. Lafayette, Tennessee, Nashville, and Middle Tennessee in general have led the way, and that means more to me than I can say. But the music has also reached folks farther from home in places like Chicago, Iowa, Colorado, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, Germany, Poland, and even Bangladesh.

And maybe one of the most encouraging parts is that the bounce rate is much lower than I expected, which tells me folks are not just clicking and leaving. They’re actually spending a little time there, listening, looking around, and sitting down on my front porch swing with a glass of cold tea and relaxing for just a minute.

Now, I know website numbers are just numbers. Some clicks may be friends, family, social media, search engines, previews, or people just passing through. But to me, every little visit feels like somebody stopping by the front porch for a minute to hear what this music is about.

So thank y’all. Truly.

The site is working. The links are being clicked. The local base is showing up. And somehow, this music is already reaching much farther from home.

And just as a reminder, the music is still also available everywhere folks normally stream or purchase music around the world. It's literally everywhere. The two new websites are simply the new official home base, a commercial-free listening room where you can hear the songs, read the stories, and follow along with everything still to come.

Listen free. Own it if you love it.

On our farm, raising rabbits isn’t just about meat — it’s about respect for the animal and providing healthy food for our community.
🐇 Rabbits are one of the most sustainable meats you can eat:
• They convert feed to meat better than chicken, pork, or beef
• They thrive in small spaces, reducing environmental impact
• Their meat is lean, protein-rich, and delicious!

The ditches and pastures are bursting this summer with wildflowers, some say weeds. Wild carrot, Mullen, yellow crown beard, beefsteak/ perilla mint, daisy fleabane, several varieties of wild aster, ragweed, Tall fescue, r**e, haired vetch, Red,White Dutch and crimson clovers and sericea lespedeza. A veritable plethora of permaculture and symbiotic sustainability for Tennessee pollinators including honey bees during the long hot summer months after the primary spring honey/nectar flow has ended. While some are spraying to leave nothing but grass across the pastures and lawns elsewhere, we continue to broadcast seed on our pastures with blooming broadleaf, pollen and nectar producing diversity.

In preparation for next year, we have already begun seeding the whole ranch with other native wildflower perennial assets like black eyed Susan’s and even have a few non native annuals like zinnias, marigolds, poppy’s, and wild sunflowers included in the upcoming years variety of pasture seeds up on Twin Valley Ranch. The multi-color bursts throughout the season should be a noteworthy bonus for sure.

Queen cages unlocked and her royal highness’s hard at work laying eggs.

Tossed the obligatory water splash like they do on the YouTube sawyer channels to reveal the grain of the 1x12s that were just finished up on the Woodland Mills 130max this afternoon. Box Elder in the maple family. Commercially used for pulp mainly but we’re going to make some hens look really happy with it by catchin their eggs every day.

Finally we’ve gotten a little time to mill some 10 ft true dimension 1x12's up on Twin Valley. 2 down only 3 to go for whats needed to build two 10 hole chicken nest box banks each hole with a removable bottom. A little wane on one edge in the middle on that last board sitting on the mill but not big enough of a gap will be created to allow an egg to fall through so we’re good. It’s not furniture, just barnyard construction. We’ll just call that nest air conditioned. I'm down into the true 12" on the cant now. A full board length 12 inches. I don’t think you can even buy 1x12’s like this anymore. Later today its on to cleaning up some storm downed trees, much of it able to give me 10-16 ft logs for the mill. All the slab wood from the initial cuts off the sides of the log that can’t be used as lumber, will be used to heat the house and the water for the house in the boiler furnace.
