Welcome to September 18th on the National Day Calendar. Today we're highlighting a versatile plant that's crucial to ecosystems and celebrating the anniversary of a vital military branch. Bamboo is one of the most versatile and sustainable resources on the planet. It plays a vital role in many cultures providing material for housing, utensils, and even musical instruments. Bamboo also helps combat climate change by absorbing more carbon dioxide and releasing more oxygen than most other plants. Today, we recognize the importance of this incredible plant and its role in promoting sustainable practices across the globe. Because today it's World Bamboo Day. Bamboo. Do you have any bamboo products? I do. I actually am a fan of bamboo and I have grown some in the past too and you are reminding me I should get some started again because I love having those short little stocks in my office and things so cool. I think it's cool how many things this plant can do. It's so versatile. It literally helps the planet. You can make literally almost anything out of bamboo. Yeah, it's great. And it pairs a lot of too. On September 18th, 1947, the United States Air Force was officially established as a separate branch of the armed forces, recognizing the critical role of air power in modern warfare. From the early days of propeller driven aircraft to today's advanced fighter jets and drones, the Air Force has been at the forefront of innovation and defense. Today, we honor the brave men and women who serve and have served, defending our skies and ensuring our security. So let's salute their dedication and achievements because today is the Air Force birthday. And special thank you to all the Air Force men and women for all that you do to protect our country. We are so grateful. What do you think the birthday cake looks like for the Air Force? Probably like a fighter jet. Like that would be so cool. And yes, yes, with about 70 candles on it now.

Southern, a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame known for co-pinning hits with the Eagles. He wrote a lot of the Eagle songs. James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt has died at 78. Just kind of looking at, let's see, some of the songs here. Best of my love, new kid in town. Oh my goodness, the list just goes on and on and on here. So thinking about that family today and all of his songwriting talents for J.D. Southern. Okay, now moving on to our music spotlight, been having some trouble with this CD, so I don't know if we'll make it all the way through with his song or not, but I do have Jimmy Rogers ready to play. Born September 18th, 1897. He died in 1933. The father of country music. I think I labeled someone else with that yesterday, but he is the father of country music. I've got a song here, hopefully this is going to play here recorded in 1928. Okay, let's see here. We're going to try this one more time. I want to play this Jimmy Rogers song because of his impact on country music. I had a friend named Ramlin Bob, who used to steal, gamble and rob. He thought he was the smartest guy in town, but I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday. They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown. He's in the jailhouse now. He's in the jailhouse now. I told him once or twice to put play and card and shoot and dice. He's in the jailhouse now. [Music] [Music] He played a game called "Poker". He knuck up with Danjoka, but shooting dice was his greatest game. Now he's downtown in jail. Nobody to go his bail. The judge done said that he refused to find. He's in the jailhouse now. He's in the jailhouse now. I told him once or twice to quit playing cards and shoot and dice. He's in the jailhouse now. [Music] I went out last Tuesday, met a girl named Susan. I told her I was the swellest man around. We started to spend my money, then she started to call me honey. We took in every cavalry in town. We're in the jailhouse now. We're in the jailhouse now. I told the judge right to his face. We didn't like to see this place. We're in the jailhouse now. [Music] I guess I shouldn't have said anything about the CD. We made it all the way through. It's Jimmy Rogers. Now today's motivational moment thanks to living stone wealth management. Raymond James in Madison. Don't use your energy to worry.
