Kudos to Mel, for sharing the following video brilliance. God, I love Twix bars. This video just makes me love them more. Unfortunately, my metabolism doesn’t let me love them live and in person quite as much as I used to….

I think I figured out why the record industry is in trouble
I was in a record store last night (Gem City Records in Dayton, OH) and was looking at their massive (yay!) vinyl section when I saw the following item: Disturbed – Indestructible 180 gram half-speed mastered double vinyl release, etched vinyl on the fourth side. (Purchase from Amazon) Okay fine, probably a wise move to […]
I Used to Chase Clients, Now They Chase Me: How SEO Transformed My Business
Let’s be honest, running a business can feel like an endless game of chasing clients. You spend hours crafting proposals, attending networking events, and hoping someone throws you a bone. But what if I told you there’s a way for ideal clients to find you instead? That’s the magic of SEO, and let me tell […]

Sometimes I get a little bit crazy……
….but then lately, there are moments in public transportation that remind me that I’m really quite normal by comparison. Today’s example: It makes perfectly good sense to get on the train wearing an extremely heavy winter coat with your hood on, and snow pants. Did I mention that today’s temp in Cleveland was about 90 […]
Keeping ya’ll up to date
Hello loyal Vinyl readers…what’s going on? I’ve been keeping busy here in Cleveland, playing the part of “homeowner,” and recent highlights in that part of my world include buying a hedge trimmer to trim parts of the small forest that is threatening to take over my back yard. Speaking of that, I’ve also got a […]
Interview: Inside the studio with Heart

As all music fans do, we’ve had many musical arguments, but we are musical brothers in arms on many things like Journey, Night Ranger, and Bruce Springsteen. Chris first nabbed my respect by knowing that Survivor had […]
Good Watch: REO Speedwagon on Soundstage
My friend Becky emailed me recently about the recent PBS Soundstage broadcast featuring REO Speedwagon to find out if I had seen it. As it happens, I had just read about the broadcast (and missed it, of course,) and found that PBS already has a DVD of the full show for sale. The DVD includes […]
Good Listening: The Brought Low
So I mention The Yayhoos in one of my recent posts, and lo and behold, the spirit of the Yayhoos saw fit to deliver a genuine real rock and roll band to a club right down the street from my house last night. I walked a quick block from my house to The Hi-Fi Concert […]
Celebrating 30 years of The Stranger by Billy Joel
“All summer, I was just taking in a lot of things – friends who would be splitting up, and others who would be getting together. The reason I called the album The Stranger wasn’t just because of the song. Each song on it seemed to have some kind of strangeness, some kind of alienation about […]
