I Beg to Differ

Everyone loves pictures of babies; even I can put up with a few pictures of little Winston Churchills. It is the parents that get to me. But there is no argument that baby hippos are the cutest. He grabbed the crotch of a woman in public, belittled women verbally, assaulted them physically, was covicted, andContinue reading “I Beg to Differ”

Three in a Row

Since we are approaching the first full week of college football, I will post my music through the weekend. I wrote this song as an autobiographical dig at my crazy-ass self; a period of my existence that lasted way longer than it should have and I’m sure my behavior would have been different if IContinue reading “Three in a Row”

More Music

I had a surprisingly good response (s) from my first music post yesterday, so, keeping with that whole strike-while-the-iron’s-hot thing, I am following it up with three more songs in today’s post.. I was working as a French Executive Chef in the Midwest in the early ‘90’s and I had the occasion to run intoContinue reading “More Music”

Hocus Pocus

Nothing up my sleeve…. And presto! Change-o! We are no longer a democratic citizenry. We are a mob just waiting for something to piss us off enough to do violence and destruction. We should be so proud. And in the “Only in America” department, people are reportedly being picked up by ICE agents all acrossContinue reading “Hocus Pocus”

Comeback Player of the Year

The pity party is over. I’m back for good this time. I got so down with being first hospitalized, and then confined to home nursing care and IV antibiotics for the last few months that I started getting the worst thoughts going through my head. Things like is this how it ends for me? SomeContinue reading “Comeback Player of the Year”

Thank You

Now that I’m a 1000+ blog poster, I wanted to take a minute to offer thanks to some of the key people who have each helped, in their own way, to make this one glorious ride so far. I want to thank Linda, an 8th grader (I was in seventh grade) for telling me IContinue reading “Thank You”

George Strait……The Man

I listened to George Strait back in the eighties and nineties and sang along to his cassettes and later, discs, and his music is still timeless country. In this age of AI and Autotune, meant to deceive the audience (enhance the music?), George used a guitar and microphone. No explosions. No laser light show. NoContinue reading “George Strait……The Man”

Working Stoned

When I think back on the entirety of my working career, I really went to work stoned. A lot. When you are a young chef candidate, you are crushing long hours with other young hopefuls, and guess what? Every one of them is high. Once you attain a level of autonomy and say-so in anContinue reading “Working Stoned”

Am I Nuts?

I’ll be late posting this blog because, despite my insistence, I am currently texting another musician who has taken a hiatus from his successful working band Wood ‘n Steel Revival and we are in the embryonic stages of forming yet another band. I know, I know… My short-lived awesome little band Sedona we had dissolvedContinue reading “Am I Nuts?”
