I’ve been a little silent for the past few weeks. I mean I’ve been playing some great virtual gigs and recording (and re-recording) A LOT, but have not been doing a lot of writing. I think that’s about to change, but I do want to share something I wrote during a trip down to NJ… More »
September 5, 2018 was a pretty momentous day for me. I spent most of that Wednesday pretty completely freaked out. Anxious beyond all belief – and for me that’s kind of saying something, as I spend most of my life in some degree of worry or anxiety. However, this was a deliberately sought-out source of… More »
For the past several hours, I have been listening to something that is giving me great joy. The narcissistic fact about this is that it is one of my own songs: “Pulling Nails”. The reason it’s making me so happy is that I am hearing it in ways that I have not been able to… More »
2020 Can Go Suck It So far, 2020 is a year when I can’t see people I love, when I can’t hear the music live that I want to hear, when the world is falling apart at the seams, and when tyranny has become the rule of the day. A year when the resurgence from… More »
Wow. Been a little time between posts here, but thank you for sticking with me. There has been a lot going on both in my day job and with just the stuff of day-to-day life. As a result I have not done as much of this kind of writing as I should like to, but… More »
Greetings everyone. It’s the end of another week, and the beginning of yet another. I cannot express to you how happy I am that I’ll be taking vacation time at the end of this week. Also, there are at least two new songs that feel like they want to be written. I plan to work… More »
Sometimes life gives you clues in the form of subtle metaphors. Other times it delivers them with blunt force. Tuesday was one of those other times. My computer monitor had been acting strangely over the previous couple of days – suddenly shutting down, but responding to turn back on, and then turning itself off again… More »
If you’re wondering why it’s been a little while since there has been a long blog post, it’s because we have been busy! One of the things we’ve been working on is recording music. Demo versions of both “Clouds” and “In a Minor Key” were released to SoundCloud a few weeks ago. If you haven’t… More »
Hi all, I’ve got quite a bit to share with you, including an update on new recordings and also a few new virtual events. But I’ll do that tomorrow. Today is Juneteenth. I’ve been spending the day doing something I do not irregularly – educating myself on just how little I actually know about the… More »
I come from a long line of do-it-yourselfers – tinkerers, mechanics, electricians, and even an engineer. As a result, my first impulse is almost always to try to figure things out on my own. While this does get me into trouble sometimes, my successes so far outnumber my utter failures (utter failures being defined as… More »
