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…
Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos Maybe I’m slightly partial. Having attended all the years of Rock on the Range, yes, even 2007, I fully understand the experience and feeling they were trying to convey of going to these festivals year after year. Man, what a great doc. There were so…
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…

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…
I was in Detroit recently and stumbled across an amazing array of mural art in an area known as the Eastern Market District. It all started when I noticed art on buildings on the right side of the road and my husband noticed St. Joseph Oratory on the left side…
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…
