After The Love Is Gone. You probably know it best as an Earth, Wind, & Fire song. Solo artist and longtime Chicago member (and let’s not forget Sons of Champlin too!) Bill Champlin co-wrote it, one of many great songs that he has gotten his hands into over the years. Bill’s got a new solo […]

YES! My personal heroes of peace and love confirm they are working on new material!
Yes – Hold On (live on the Union tour in 1991) I can already hear the debate beginning among Yes fans, but me, I am STOKED to read the following story at Billboard.com! Additionally, I am happy once again to hear Jon Anderson hint at possible collaboration with former Yes man Trevor Rabin. I’m hoping […]
Song of the Moment: Jackyl – Locked and Loaded
Funny randomness – My rock and roll comrade TDavid had a post today talking about among other things, the upcoming album from AC/DC, which is currently being helmed by Brendan O’Brien, who has certainly had his hands on a number of great rock albums over the years, and maintains a diverse selection of clients from […]
Song of the Moment – Death Cab – I Will Possess Your Heart
I have more than the occasional random thought, and I’m going to share one of them with you now. First of all, before I get to that, this post is Death Cab for Cutie related, and related to that, you’d probably be interested to know that Death Cab recently recorded a live session for Daytrotter, […]

Concert Review: The original members of Asia at House of Blues Cleveland
Saturday night I got the chance to catch the reunited original members of Asia at the House of Blues here in Cleveland. My review for Cleveland Scene can be found right here. The review was edited slightly after I submitted it, and I’d like to make note that I actually would have been okay with […]
Asia – Only Time Will Tell….on accordion?
Please note that this fan has a Geoff Downes worthy rack setup of keyboards, yet he needs only an accordion for this rendition of Asia’s Only Time Will Tell. Awesome!!
Albums Revisited – Bryan Adams – Reckless
Bryan Adams – Can’t Stop This Thing We Started Happy tax day to all of you! I was listening to the Waking Up The Neighbours album from Bryan Adams, yesterday morning, which was really the last great album from BA. It would be the last album for a long time, to feature longtime Adams collaborator […]
Sheryl Crow plus Fleetwood Mac equals awesome
According to Spinner.com, Sheryl Crow is set to “join” Fleetwood Mac for a collaboration, probably in 2009. I’d like to see it – Sheryl and Stevie certainly have the chemistry, and it would be interesting to see how Sheryl would fit in to the overall Fleetwood Mac picture. From a songwriting standpoint, I think that […]
Song of the Moment – Yes – Love Will Find A Way
The song Love Will Find A Way has been on my mind the past few days. No, not the Amy Grant song Find A Way from her Unguarded CD release, although that is definitely another favorite, and the one that introduced me to Amy’s music, as it happens. Amy Grant – Find A Way (live) […]
