Once again, I’m aware that I’ve been a little quiet here for the past few weeks. In addition to my quotidian activities, I’ve been getting new tracks down and also getting a few people off to where they need to be in the world. In addition, I’m sad to say that I am also working… More »

I find myself coming back to this little blog more lately, as I have new things on my mind that I want to share with whoever might be reading.  I know the blog entries might sometimes come across as travelogue (this entry was written in Iowa, Massachusetts, Jordan, and Alberta, for example), but they are… More »

Still on the road, but pining for my little studio back home.  Right now I’m in the land of windmills, stroopwafels, and red light districts, visiting with some friends and associates.  Some of the talk has revolved around music: we’ve been holding a little debate on the relative merits of guitarists such as Clapton, the… More »

While not exactly on world tours for rock purposes, I do get around the world a bit (as one might guess listening to songs like “Last Flight Out” and “Take Me Home”).  Unfortunately, the jet-set lifestyle occasionally has health impacts: I have had a bit of bronchitis, which has curtailed doing vocals for a little… More »

For the first time in a while, I’ve got quite a bit of a creative streak going. A good half dozen songs and some form of development, but I’m not really sure what to do with them. As always, I beg your indulgence as it is hard to find time to be able to sit… More »

So, don’t really have much in the way of news or history for you right now.  What I do have is a little treat: an old recording from 1990 of Tunnel 18 (Chris, Chris, and Don) doing a 4-track recording of “Bus Ride”. The recording was live for bass, drums, and guitar; vocals were added… More »

Why Tunnel 18? So I know you’ve been saying to yourself for at least a week now, “Ok, Chris, you’ve explained the whole band family tree and all that, so we get it.  But what the hell is with the name? Seems random. What gives?” Up until about 1989, we’d played under a few different… More »

I’ve mentioned the name change from Steeling Time to Tunnel 18, but I haven’t really fully explained where the “new” name came from, or why I’m making the change.  Today’s as good a time as any other to fill you in on the prehistory of Tunnel 18: The band known as Tunnel 18 has been… More »
