What’s going on, what’s exciting, what is new with me
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…
Myles Kennedy – The Ides Of March I debated posting a shortened social media version of my thoughts on The Ides Of March by Myles Kennedy, but the more I listened to the album, the more I kept writing about it. It’s no secret that Myles Kennedy is one of…
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…
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…

On this day 20 years ago, I was at the 3-day festival known as Woodstock ’99. It ended up becoming “a lot of things” but despite all the negatives, it really was an amazing weekend for music. I recently found the notebook I used to take notes that weekend. It’s…
Since the 90’s, I have been collecting pins and whatnot from the various Hard Rock Cafe’s I’ve been to in the U.S. A few times, friends/family have visited other states/countries and brought something back for me. Well, when The Child planned to work in Spain for 9 months, and travel…
What can I say about 2018 that I haven’t said about other years? Well, more of the same. Once again, I saw A LOT of great live performances, some of my fave bands released new music and, as always, I discovered some new bands (Rebel Soul Revival, Joyous Wolf, Of…

On July 27, 2018 I saw Godsmack, Shinedown and Like A Storm at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL. It was my 1,000th concert since April 1986. If you’re wondering how I could possibly know this, back in 1998, I created a list of concerts I had seen up…
