I don’t feel brokenhearted about the parents who were upset their kids were turned away from graduation. These aren’t even high schoolers we’re talking about. In this life, you have TWO graduations that actually mean anything; first, your high school graduation for completing twelve years of education, and then your college graduation for your advancedContinue reading “Pardon Me”

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…”
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”
Two Down, More to Come
My new band Sedona is still searching for a drummer. Not that we aren’t trying (I know; double negative shame on me). The first audition we conducted was almost an hour north, so I went up thinking this guy better be the shit because it’s a long way to go if he’s not. He’s not.Continue reading “Two Down, More to Come”
OOPS!
Mr. I-am-sending-a rocket-into-space-just-because-I-can Elon Musk once again looked like a horse’s ass when his much-ballyhooed marvel of technology blew up minutes after being launched out into the mist. His Starship, er, Sinkship is being fished out of the Atlantic Ocean. People are wondering “why isn’t NASA doing these space forays? Why is a private companyContinue reading “OOPS!”
Post #800!
I woke up this morning with the worst throat cold ever, but I couldn’t blow off practice, so I showed up anyway. Just my (our) luck. I have been madly, vainly, searching for a drummer to hook up with us and complete the band. So not one, or two, but three potential drummer-bandmates have askedContinue reading “Post #800!”
Act Like You’ve Been There
I’m really getting tired of the Blue news and how the different newscasters carry that same smug nod-nod-wink-wink salacious bullshit attitude as if they had anything to do with anything. Instead of mobilizing to accomplish something of merit, they are content to keep fanning the flames of revolution. The thing is, there aren’t enough peopleContinue reading “Act Like You’ve Been There”
Building a Playlist
We got a two-hour practice in and we are adding to our playlist. I will list what we have so far and then I’m stoked to show you my new song titled Lunchtime Assassin. I mean no disrespect at all to the field of education, having happily worked in that arena for fourteen years. WhenContinue reading “Building a Playlist”
Wednesday Showtime at Liberty Place
I had an absolute blast performing for the residents of Liberty Place Memory Care in West Chester. The first thing you notice about the place is its location, at the end of a drive through a very upper-income housing area. Usually, the paces I have played are not in this type of neighborhood. The propertyContinue reading “Wednesday Showtime at Liberty Place”
I Take it All Back
My mad editing skills. You can’t see it, but I am in my Marchus Rashford #10 shirt for the Big Match. I wrote a blog about loyalty over a year ago, and I should have listened to myself, if that is even possible. I was questioning my favorite football club, the Manchester United Red Devils.Continue reading “I Take it All Back”
