The Silly Grandpa was back in Murfreesboro. Most recently, he visited the Wilderness Station at Barfield-Crescent Park.

This is the second year that he visited and the crowd was larger than last year.

Silly Grandpa is the brainchild of two-time, Grammy nominated writer and artist, Michael 'Supe' Granda. As a founding and current member of seminal, 70's classic rock band, the Ozark Mtn. Daredevils, the transformation was simple.?

"Becoming Silly Grandpa was easy," Supe states. "I was always the silly kid who loved silly songs, like "The Purple People Easter," "How Music is That Doggie in the Window?" and "Alley Oop." The sillier the song was, the more I liked it. When my grandkids started to come along, as a songwriter, it was fun to write simple, little songs to entertain them. I just became a silly grandpa."
