Don't just wait until the big national acts come to the nearest big city to play at the big arena - there are plenty of local venues…

I've had a group of guys I've been playing with the last several years as a 3 piece, with the occassional extra musician. The drummer is a world class professional (Deen Castronovo of the band Journey, I guess I can…

Most of you wouldn't know, but our youngest son almost didn't make it to his 3rd birthday. Today is the 16th anniversary of his "re-birthday" after he was rushed to the PICU (pediatric ICU) when he was almost 2 1/2…

When I got married I had one year left of college (took a few years off to pursue music beforehand). As such, I didn't have much money and what I did have went to the much more important rings on…

So this is it - my first writing session!

No idea where this will go, if it will be any good, if it will end up in a song or not BUT the important thing is I have a topic…
