Yet another batch of great new tunes from Leah on Saturday! We have a performance coming up on Sunday the 22nd at which we’ll be playing all these pieces. I’ll post more details here shortly. Also, we now have an e-mail address for correspondence about the bass position we have …
I haven’t posted recently because we were away on vacation, but I got back in town just in time to… take some more leave, since we got a bunch of snow dumped on us. ? Now I am enjoying some computer time; since I shoveled the driveway, my wife is …
I’m saddened but unsurprised by the chilly reception given to P.T. Anderson’s new film Punch Drunk Love. This was a beautiful and fantastic film, full of emotion and chaos and the raging insanity that fills you when you are rescued from loneliness by that one special person. I’ve been poring …
Yesterday I took the whole family and my dad and his S.O. to Monticello for the day. With the leaves all turned and not yet off the trees, it was gorgeous rural vistas for miles around. The Blue Ridge is simply beautiful this time of year, and our drive down …
It looks like I have a great gig lined up with a fantastic new singer-songwriter in our area. Her name is Leah Morgan, and my drummer buddy Rich Nagel has gotten us together with one of the area’s top bass players, Brian Goddard, to work on her original music. Our …

It’s a shame that these losers don’t have better things to do than screw up people’s personal journals and musings.

Well, I guess life will be returning to “normal” in the DC area now that the law has caught up to those bastard shooters. I would like to point out that almost as despicable as these two piles of steaming feces are the people who sat in their cars and …
Forgot to post that Eleya and I saw an astoundingly bad movie the other night, the Kevin (“What’s happened to me?”) Costner dead-wife drama, Dragonfly. This movie was so laughingly bad starting from two minutes after the opening credits that we actually started giving it the MST3K treatment while watching …
