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. As you might imagine, I’m really looking forward to that. My front garden is a … Continue reading Balancing act
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

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?
The Graduate
In the early aughts,* we rented a house in South Chatham, MA, for 3 or 4 consecutive years. It was a simple Cape with a super comfortable vibe and, once I rolled up and stashed all of the potentially treacherous throw rugs which were scattered about, the perfect place to relax with young children. There … Continue reading The Graduate
