The Band – The Last Waltz
Having my own music blog has really magnified one of the things that I love most about life – the musical journeys that you take, and are introduced to, by friends. A couple of weeks ago, I was catching up on the massive stack of blogs in my Google Reader…..which really makes me think about […]
Some Links To Know About – The Jigsaw, Propaghandi, The Alarm, + Bruce Springsteen

Chickenfoot, chickenfoot, chickenfoot, CHICKENFOOT!
My previous blog post on the new supergroup “Chickenfoot” featuring Sammy Hagar, is one of the more popular posts on this site. The working name for the project seems to now be the permanent name, and I can’t blame them for that, as much publicity as they’ve gotten out of it so far. Here are […]
