A year or so ago, I played at a local spot in Indialantic, and was surprised to see a huge crowd inside. I've never had much of a ‘following’ (people that come to see me play often), maybe because most…

I've spent a lot of time this week (month!) working on audio and video files; something I haven't done in a while.  I don't know how those YouTube stars keep it up, posting videos every day.  I guess they must…

By now, I figure that everyone has heard the story of how the song Yesterday was originally just a melody, with no lyrics, and that the Beatles (McCartney?  Lennon? I'm not sure which one) used “Scrambledeggs” as the temporary title…

Lately I've gotten interested in Loopers again. As most, if not all, guitar players know, Loopers are floor pedals that do an instant record-playback of your riffs.  Press a button, it records. Press again, it plays back.  Again, and it…

As of mid-April, I will have been playing music in front of a crowd for ten years. I've learned a lot about what I should do and what I shouldn't.

Below is a list of some things I have observed…

A couple of years ago, I mentioned how I had been “woodshedding”. That's guitar-slang for “practicing a lot”. I've been doing that again lately.

It's not…

Before I became a solo Musician/Entertainer,  I was a SatCom Systems Test Engineer for over 35 years. My last job in that role was working in the field on the Royal Caribbean ships. When I was done for the day…

I have been saved by my MacGuyver Bag many times.

In case you didn't know already, MacGuyver was a TV character (I think they may have resurrected the original '80s era show a few years ago). Anyway, this guy was…

I almost never have stage fright. In fact, the more people that are out in the crowd, the more energy I feel, and it rubs off on me, always in a good way. It loosens me up and makes me…

There's a trend lately where musical artists are selling their entire music catalogues for huge money.  According to ABC News:

“In 2021, Bruce Springsteen reportedly sold his catalog to Sony for more than $500 million. Others capitalizing on the trend…

Not that you asked for it, but here, in no particular order, is my list of ten “Desert Island” albums; the ones that could possibly keep me entertained enough to not have to talk to a soccer ball. Never mind…
