Austin, Texas!
“Live music capital of the world”, which seems a tad hyped. Great live music scene for sure, but it’s not Nashville. Ten times better than the Chicago suburbs, if not for only the music selection.

Good Music People
One thing I’ve noticed when meeting new people at shows is that the big music fans are almost always very cool. It’s like they’ve found this thing in life that gives them joy and they appreciate it. Not to say non-music lovers are bad people, but they can be crabby. Music people love to talk…

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…

What I Learned During the Pandemic
Sitting at the pool in West Palm Beach Florida on March 17th, I looked around and was grateful for being there. 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.…
