I changed some parameters and finished the track. Then, listened back. Horrible. “This sucks, @#$%! it” and I closed Logic (recording software).  Then […]

    Golf 2020

    Really into golf this year. The pandemic has injected a renewed interest in the game. Most courses I’ve played have been packed and I see a lot of young players. A few years back, it seemed the sport was dying. Who knows, this could save the industry?

  • I Threw A Rock Once

    In my youth, 30+ years ago I threw a rock. I was mad at an institution that I felt failed me. I was angry. I was afraid. I was frustrated. I blamed the institution. What I learned over time of course, is that it was 100% on me. My failures, my anger was all due […]

News was starting to get more and more serious about the pandemic and lockdowns looked immenent. Sitting here today, May 31, 2002 about 2 1/2 months later, the world is a much different place. […]

  • Quarantine Sessions: Inthemiddle

    Quarantine Sessions: Inthemiddle

    Here’s a song about growing older and stopping to take in the scenery. This is the second song in the quarantine sessions series where I just use my iPhone voice memo to record a single take. Here’s a link to Distrokid (my distributor) and they have links to all the digital services.

  • Quarantine Sessions: American Girl

    Quarantine Sessions: American Girl

    After playing all these livestreams, it dawned on me that I could record these raw versions and release them. So I’m doing it. Here’s the deal.. Single take, no edits no studio magic. Just me+guitar+iPhone. First song to be released is a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song – “American Girl.” Here’s the link for […]

  • The Monster of all Tradeoffs

    I hesitated to write about this publicly. I’m not one to publish my opinions about current events, political issues or fake news. Usually, I stick to music and after reading this you might agree. What’s happened since January is a once-in-a-generation event. It’s so monumental, we probably won’t be able to get proper perspective for […]
