What’s going on, what’s exciting, what is new with me
Tonight, Royal Bliss are celebrating their 20th year as a band. YOWZA! 🙂 As much as I would have loved to have been there, the timing just didn’t work out. So instead, a few thoughts. First, CONGRATS ROYAL BLISS! 2nd, this is a big deal! It’s not easy for a…
I LOVE STATS! Spotify has this thing right now where it will pull stats based on your listening during 2017. In general, it’s not the only way I listen to music, but when I do listen to Spotify, it’s usually during the day. But still, these stats have me a…
Man alive. Waking up to the news of the Las Vegas concert tragedy that took place last night and later hearing about Tom Petty having a heart attack and being in critical condition, (followed later in the evening by the official confirmation of his passing), I keep going back to…
Earlier today, when I first heard the news of Tom Petty suffering a heart attack, one song immediately popped into my head…I Won’t Back Down…and it’s been there ever since. (It is also one of two Petty songs that are the background music in my skydiving video from 1999, the…

Like much of the rest of the internet, I just found out Chuck Berry passed away today. Chuck Berry’s music has been a part of my life for, man, probably as far back as 12 years old. Not exactly sure as those days were so long ago, but for sure…
2016 was a pretty good year for music, well, in my opinion anyway. Let me first start by saying, 2016 brought a new Metallica album! What’s the big deal? It’s been 8 years since their last release! However, it was worth the wait AND…METALLICA was announced as one of the headliners…
December 16, 2016 will be a day I won’t ever forget. While part of the night pretty much holds the record for the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me, it will also forever be remembered as one of the coolest things to ever happen to me.
After attending every Rock on the Range since 2007, I never thought the day would come. Don’t get me wrong, there were many years, especially while at ROTR and we were waiting for the next band to take the stage, where my friends and I would talk about how cool…
