I have been asked several times when I play a song I wrote in 1974 titled Cantina Lady about the story behind the song. Well, I guess the statute of limitations is probably up by now, so here’s how it went down. It was a hot June night in the Mexican border town of Nogales,Continue reading “Cantina Lady”

Good For You!
It’s 3:08pm EST here and the sun is completely hidden behind the moon. There are scores of people gathered at a local park not far from my house and, at the exact moment of total eclipse, the crowd hoots and hollers like it’s 1999 (thanks Prince). Why? Because they made it through the event? WayContinue reading “Good For You!”
Never Too Late
Well, I did it again. Despite my assertions, I have gone and got myself involved with another musical situation. After our band Sedona broke up I said (for the 20th time) that I was through with bands. But duets are different. Fast, EFFICIENT practices. So, this young dude who has been helping me out withContinue reading “Never Too Late”
What Comes Around…
That lying, thieving, cheating, murdering fraudster Alex Murdaugh was given forty years to serve on his myriad of fraud charges. Even running concurrently, he should get out around the time he hits 95. Timing. You are driving along the Pacific Coast Highway with the beautiful pink sunset on your right shoulder as you head southContinue reading “What Comes Around…”
Shameless
Just when I start to think I’ve seen it all… A man on the moon. A presidential assassination. A black president. A failed American coup. A presidential candidate selling bibles to raise money. Look, you start to get desperate when you are down to your last seven billion dollars. Cuts have to be made. He’llContinue reading “Shameless”
Loneliness
I like being alone, but I suppose feeling lonely is a curse for some. Others can be alone even when surrounded by other people. I am one of them. I think I equate people with being antithetical to a clean and healthy planet. I would be alright with a smaller world population, or even better,Continue reading “Loneliness”
Raise Your Hand
Anyone on this planet with access to the news believe that Putin, that ignorant, paranoid little bald lawn gnome, might have had something to do with Alexey Navalny’s death raise your hands. Come on, up with them. Straight in the air. Now lower your arm forty-five degrees. You get it. And you are a TOTALContinue reading “Raise Your Hand”
Here We Go Again
In this dangerous world, our nation’s defense is Priority One. Or at least it should be. What do you do when you want to attract the best recruits possible to join our naval forces? Lower the standards, of course. The business sector has been doing it forever to attract workers who just don’t want toContinue reading “Here We Go Again”
Our Skill Set
We each have one that is just as unique to us as our fingerprints. We learn them, we inherit them, and we assimilate them our entire lives. Then our role is over and a new cast goes through the motions of mouthing the words and playing the parts as the show must go on. IContinue reading “Our Skill Set”
The Best is Yet to Come…
It has to be. Let’s face it; the country is divided, the world is divided and we will never reconcile our differences. If we just use those parameters as the starting point, at least the lack of progress won’t seem as intolerable. DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race? I guess when his own partyContinue reading “The Best is Yet to Come…”
