I thought I’d start by talking about some non-musical stuff. 

I stumbled across a youtube video last night created by someone who totally hated the new Picard show; he thought it ruined the character.  What’s more, the comments were full…

Work work work work work.  Work is a good thing.   

I don’t necessarily mean my day job, but it’s actually solid. No, I mean working on creative things to not only fulfill my artistic needs, but to keep myself occupied…

Song #2 for One Man. One Voice. One Year. is up; head on over to my YouTube channel or click the link on the left. The tune is “Talk is Cheap” and it’s an alternate version to what was released…

One Man. One Voice. One Year. 

It has begun.  The first video has been posted and that version of "Beauty of Our Lives" is available on your favorite music service.

I've committed to doing at least one video a year…

Nope.   

Don’t wanna do it. 

Don’t wanna talk about COVID-19 or the possibility that our Constitutional rights may be in jeopardy.  So I’m just going to move on to something positive. 

One Man. One Voice. One Year. has begun.  I…

The coronavirus has accomplished what terrorists couldn’t. 

Think about that for a second. 

As I type this, the San Francisco area has a “shelter in place” order. 

Businesses are shutting down.  Sports leagues are ending their seasons.  Disneyland is closed…

Buy it. Download it…

Work continues on the new songs. 

Yeah, I know.  Big shocker. 

I reached out to a local friend - Howie Kolb - for some feedback on my most recent mixes/mastering attempts.  Sometimes fresh ears can help. His did. He offered…

The new songs are not mixed and mastered properly yet, but I think I’m pretty close.  I have 3 left, but two of them are just guitar and vocals, and therefore easy to finish.  With any luck, I’ll finish tonight…

AZ Music Project had a great jam session?  Showcase? Whatever - last Friday night. I had someone record my performance of Hoochie Coochie man.  The vocals are a bit rough at times, but pretty good overall I think:

But…

As I’ve said before, I’m no longer much of a football fan.  However, I did watch the Super Bowl on Sunday.  It was an entertaining, competitive game.  Can’t ask for much more than that. I didn’t watch any of the…

This will be a special “I’m old, change sucks, stay the hell off my lawn” edition of my thoughts. 

Last week I mentioned having to redesign my website. That will happen this week. I tried playing with the new host’s…
