The Bootstrap Boys exist in the same world that Waylon Jennings inhabited: unfiltered country rock that has attitude yet keeps your foot tapping.
Hailing from Grand Rapids, the band is made up of lead singer and songwriter Jake Stilson (“Big Jake Bootstrap”), guitarist Nick Alexander (“Nicky Bootstrap”), bassist Jonny Bruha (“Jonny ‘Bubba’ Bootstrap”) and drummer Jeff Knol (“Jeff Bootstrap”).
Listen to any of their original songs and you'll hear the influence of Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Bob Wills on the sound, along with technical masters such as Tony Rice, Kenny Vaughan and Clint Strong.
Here a few cuts to whet your appetite:

Patchy light snow, with a high of 29 and low of 13 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Patchy light snow during the morning, cloudy during the afternoon and evening, overcast overnight.
Whitmer is simply wrong on this one. The data centers are neither a benefit nor desired by local residents. That should be all that needs to be said. Two people/entities will benefit - the landowner receiving the windfall payment and DTE. The rest of us will pay a very heavy and undesired price for their gains.
Not all residents are against it. Private land sold by the owners will of course benefit them, it is supposed to. An entire community trying to dictate who they can sell their property to, for aesthetic reasons of a “farming community,” is ridiculous.
Here's the thing, Libby. Most of these land grabs require rezoning that conflicts with the Master Plan developed by elected officials and reflective of the wishes of others who have invested in and live in the community.
Improve rates? Improve for who?
Please, someone explain how saline rates are so much higher than surrounding areas.
Because we have a dysfunctional city Government! That’s why.
Just one of the MANY family events the Recreation Center provides! When he is not hosting as Santa, this wonderful gentleman is also a fabulous adult water aerobics instructor and teaches swim lessons to the kiddos.
Wow! Just got an email saying my post pointing out that the Santa event is one of many family activities at the Rec Center and that the gentleman who hosts as Santa also teaches water aerobics and kid swim classes is flagged as offensive. Guess compliments and enthusiasm are not welcome at the Saline Post?
