What’s going on, what’s exciting, what is new with me
February 8, 2025 Local H The Vixen – McHenry, IL Prior to this show, there was only one band that I have seen at least 50 times. That has now changed. Yes, I know there are other people that have seen this band way more than that, but for me,…
October 16, 2024 Local H 20th Anniversary of Whatever Happened To P.J. Soles? Metro – Chicago, IL Wow. WoW. WOW. What. A. Night. When they say, “You had to be there.” Well, you HAD to be there. To me, album play anniversary shows are awesome. This time, I only had…
It took some digging, but I found it. My first impression scribble notes from the first time I listened to St. Anger, Metallica’s then new album, along with my more complete notes I wrote as a follow up (most likely sent in an email). Because it’s fun to look back,…
On This Day, May 12, 1992, 30 years ago, The Black Crowes released The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion. What an amazing album. For a long time, I would always say my fave Crowes albums were based on the order they were released. However, 15 or so years ago, I…

Last night, I finished a book I had purposely been putting off since its release in 2019. Hard to Handle The Life and Death of The Black Crowes A Memoir by Steve Gorman and Steven Hyden It was most likely the announcement of the 30th anniversary box set for Shake…
If you’re wondering why “Local H” and “drive-in” are being used together, the band announced they were going to perform LIVE at Harvest Moon Twin Drive-in Theatre in Gibson City, IL. Do you know where that is? Yeah, I had never heard of it either. While I passed on night…
May 8, 2015 Royal Bliss Palomino Club – Spokane WA Royal Bliss played Palomino Club in Spokane, WA and I was lucky enough to be there. Hell, being able to tag along for three of their shows was a true experience. Not only was I able to take photos and…
April 20, 1990. That is the date of the first official Local H performance. 30 YEARS AGO! 30 FREAKIN’ YEARS AGO! All-Right (Oh, Yeah) Back In The Day I became a fan of Local H around the release of As Good As Dead (April 1996) and I saw them…
