Life continues to make sure that I have a complete understanding of the word “busy.” While I have a spare moment, I want to take a second to document a great musical experience that I had on Monday night at the Beachland Ballroom with a great band out of Dallas, TX called The New Frontiers. […]

Musical thoughts about Dad on Father’s Day
Ah, parents…..ah, Dad. We could be here for days talking about the impact that my parents have had and continue to have in my life. But since it’s Father’s Day, I thought I would spend a moment thinking about Dad. We’re going to have breakfast a bit later this morning to have a “kinda celebration” […]
Concert Review: Iron Maiden – Blossom Music Center – 6/12/08
Thursday night, I put on my “metal shoes” to go see Iron Maiden at Blossom Music Center. I pick up my tickets at the box office – fifth row…SWEET! The tickets are on the left hand side, right in front of the stacks……did I bring my earplugs? Of course not. So much for my ongoing […]
Quick Hits: Tim Russert, Bruce Springsteen, Night Ranger
Another Saturday morning in Cleveland – last night we were supposed to get a mother of a storm, but honestly, I zonked out after being out late at the Iron Maiden concert the night before. I got a little bit soaked Friday night going from the rapid station to my car, but everything else after […]
Administrivia – RSS and a request
A simple request: First, the request – I don’t know why I’m even mentioning this…but if you’ve got something cool in the “bootleg” vein of things that you’d like to share with me, drop me a line! I’ve gotten a few emails already, including some cool Lemonheads stuff, in relation to my recent Lemonheads-related post. […]
The musical public transportation of life
Good morning from Cleveland! Last night, I was at home working in the flowerbeds as rain began to fall. It was a steady rain, but nothing heavy to the point where I would seek shelter. That part came later, and for the moment I was planting flowers that are either going to bloom fantastically, or […]
Patti Rothberg’s Double Standards – What It All Means
I love this latest dispatch from Patti Rothberg, which offers a good look at not only the meaning behind the title of her latest album Double Standards, but also a look at the inner fire and inspiration that drive Patti as an artist. I particularly enjoyed the jump back to her album Between The 1 […]
Good Listening: Kathleen Edwards – Rocky Mountain Folks Festival 8-19-06
A couple of weeks ago, I posted audio from Kathleen Edwards‘ appearance on World Cafe. In that posting, I lamented the absence of “Scared At Night,” from her latest album Asking For Flowers. My good friend Jack (a fellow Edwards fan,) emailed me and asked me if I had a copy of Kathleen’s performance at […]
Sunday Faith: An introduction
I want to start off with a statement/declaration/disclaimer of sorts. Those of you that know me, know that I don’t push my religion on anyone. It is important to me, but I am also annoyed by those that are “born again,” and then proceed to denounce the actions and sins of everyone around them. That’s […]
A little Patience with Lonn Friend
I enjoy Lonn Friend’s reflections on the past, present, and future yet to come. In his latest dispatch, he visits a number of topics, including the filming of the Guns ‘n Roses video for “Patience.” Read on…. link to original Myspace post How do you know when the shadows have really given way to light?
