Music is an amazing thing - it soothes, excites, inspires, comforts, stimulates and impresses me more than any other art form. There are songs that take me back to specific moments in my life like no other time machine I've ever known and guitar solos that still make me shake my head with wonder.

Ain’t but one way out
If we've seen each other in the past week or two, you know exactly where this is going... I am currently obsessed with the Allman Brothers. Like, really, really obsessed. First, some history - I'm lucky enough to have seen the band in its various incarnations, probably a half dozen times, mostly at SPAC. I've … Continue reading Ain’t but one way out
Balancing act
I can see June around the corner and she looks beautiful. Only a few more weeks and I’ll be enjoying 10 weeks of summer vacation – more time with loved ones, late nights, somewhat unstructured days and actual free time.

David Bowie and Fame Right
Last Friday, we played a Spotify station to celebrate David Bowie's 69th birthday. Less than three days later, he was dead. I guess that's how it goes.

I started … Continue reading Running with Alabama Shakes, Bradley Cooper and a bag of poop
Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters
The first time I saw Robert Plant was at the Meadowlands in the late 80s. I was 21 or 22 years-old and had been a Led Zeppelin fan for as long as I could remember. Stevie Ray Vaughan opened up and absolutely ruined Plant for me. Stevie was just that good. Since that time, I'm … Continue reading Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters
Can I have your number?
I went to NYC yesterday evening to see Robert Plant and his band the Sensational Shape Shifters. It's been a hectic week and it was so nice to cut loose a little and slow down for the night. Incidentally, what does it mean, when my life is so busy, that I go to the city … Continue reading Can I have your number?
