An omen of bad things to come?

I’m just about to leave for a bachelor party in Las Vegas this weekend. I’m a little nervous about it, though, because while I was in the shower this morning, I dropped the soap. Twice.

Weird, wacky & cool musical connections

Ok… how to make a long story short. The day after I saw Jethro Tull in concert, my wife and I heard a little acoustic trio called Quiet Mind at the Orange County Fair. Liked ‘em. Signed up on the mailing list. I got an e-mail from them that they will [...]

The ol’ haunt

For the second time, I have a cousin that will be attending the same university that I went to. My wife, daughter, one of my aunts and I helped to get my cousin from New York checked in today. She’ll be living on campus as I did. She was delayed a couple [...]

The Beatles still rule

I’ve been having fun revisiting a lot of music by The Beatles today. Man, oh, man… that is some of the best music that has ever been recorded. Period. I think this question is rhetorical, but if you think you want to try to answer, feel free to do so in the [...]

Awesome weekend!

Saw Jethro Tull in concert Friday night and, man, they rocked the dump hard! They opened with the most outta control version of “Living In The Past” I’ve heard to date and then went insane on “Nothing Is Easy” (think “Paradise City” at the Motorhead/Metallica/G’N’R show at the Rose Bowl). Just plain nuts. [...]
