You know the rest. My very last band has exploded, along with my dream of one last bid to play out with a full band and showcase my music. I’m gonna take the heat on this one. I was the only one of the four of us that had an agenda. Hell, these guys wereContinue reading “Here Today….”

Yet Another Song
I am starting to impress myself with this burst of creativity that has led me to write seven original songs after a span of thirty years or so, but what really impressed me was these are good songs. I’ve always been OK as a lyricist, but my music structure is so much more polished afterContinue reading “Yet Another Song”
Now THAT was a Show!
I am home from watching three great blues players tonight at the Rose Music Center at Huber Heights. We arrived early enough to grab a bite to eat and we were literally the fifth car from the entrance to the amphitheater when we parked. One problem with watching shows in the state of Ohio; thereContinue reading “Now THAT was a Show!”
Thoughts on a Summer Day
I look out my office window at the bird feeder and birdbath and damn if I am not starting to recognize several of the feeders and bathers that frequent our little bird spa. There is Louie, a big brown bird that has the loudest voice I have ever heard, save a few crows in California.Continue reading “Thoughts on a Summer Day”
The Language of Love
Parlez-vous? Nope, not French. German? Too much spitting going on. Italian? My Italian is a little rusty, but it is good enough to know that Papadia translates to day-old pizza, folded in half, and resold in a vain effort to squeeze one more cent or two of profit in a business that has a higherContinue reading “The Language of Love”
Good Things Come…
…to those that wait. One year away from international competition seemed like forever for the world’s most prestigious football club and we are now back in Champion’s League play where we belong. I take everything back that I said about Erik Ten Hag. He isn’t a bald little faggot, he isn’t a doddering asshole, heContinue reading “Good Things Come…”
Don’t Look Now, But…
Our blues and rock and roll band we named Sedona is making progress. As bad as last week’s practice was, we more than made up for it as every player stepped up and we recorded two tracks. These are songs I wrote and we have several more I have yet to show the boys. HereContinue reading “Don’t Look Now, But…”
You Caught Me
Here is the bluesy song You Caught Me. Mixes a little R&B (which I was raised on) and blues together for a jumpy little ditty. I’m sure when I show it to our guitar player, he will come up with a killer lead for it. Once again, we are still in our embryonic stage asContinue reading “You Caught Me”
Check out my New Song
This is called Lovers and Players and it was just a fun bouncy melody that came to me playing the Bm chord and following it from there. Sometimes when you are putting together a song, you start with a fun melody and build on it. That’s what I did. The boys and I are takingContinue reading “Check out my New Song”
Songwriting Class
I have no idea what it is, the water, the air, whatever, but I have become a songwriting machine as of late. I wrote my very first song, That’s When Hiawatha Made a Little Running Deer Outta Me. when I was twelve, but only our yet-to-be-born history buff will be able to tell you that.Continue reading “Songwriting Class”
