The whole Blind Pig Gang sincerely hopes the new year is exactly what you want it to be for you and yours.
Don’t forget to eat a big helping of black-eyed peas, greens, and hog jowls to ensure you’re healthy, wealthy, and wise for 2019.

Happy New Year! We had our stewed tomatoes and black-eyed peas with ham, and fried chicken. I know you are supposed to eat greens which symbolizes money, but we didn’t.
Happy New Year to all! Looking forward to the coming year. Am hoping to finish a CD that I have been working on for some time. It will be as usual, all original songs with just me and some of my acoustic guitars. Wishing everyone a wonderful coming year!!!Looking forward to more of the Blind Pig and the Acorn!!
Where is Ken Roper? Where is B.Ruth? How can we start a new year without them?
Happy New Year to everybody!
Happy New Year to you and all of your family. Looking forward to lots of good music and good fellowship with all of you in the coming year.
At work yesterday, the secretary ask if i was going to fix hog jowls and black eyed peas, and i said no i don’t like black eyed peas. I have to work. Well God Bless everyone in the New Year.
Mustard greens, crowder peas and stewed backbones & ribs in the making. New Year blessings to all of the Blind Pig crew and faithful readers.
Here is wishing Tipper, her family, and all readers of the Blind Pig a Happy, Safe, and Prosperous New Year!
Happy new year!
I live outside the city limits so all the city laws don’t apply. The bangin and boomin started early but according to my wife it didn’t stop until after midnight. I went to sleep about ten.
I used to go with Dad to those long church services where they preach the old year out and the new year in. Our Baptist association doesn’t do that anymore, but I believe some of the other Baptist still do.
Happy, healthy and wealthy New Year to the Blind Pig Gang and all the readers who love the Appalachian traditions!
Looks like the ruling days are setting up for a warm and wet 2019. We normally have our worse cold here within the next two weeks. If we make it through them without .othis winter may not be too bad.
New Year greetings and wish wishes to everyone from north Georgia.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Yep, Mama let us know she was fixen enough for everybody.
