  • A Chilly Stroll Through Bishop Arts

    It’s my kind of Saturday living in an artsy-fartsy, tourist neighborhood; ten degrees above freezing. That means, most of the poons are in hiding; either playing Call of Duty or bitching about him playing Call of Duty. Just take the pit bull outside to take a dump, wash his car, and exhibit a few more…

  • Rev-iew: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Director’s Cut (1977 film)

    1977. What a time to be alive. Close Encounters, Star Wars, and Smokey and the Bandit released in the same year. I was four years old, meaning these three films played on repeat throughout my childhood. It was a magical time. Let’s see what the fine folks at Wikipedia have to say about this film…

    Something Clicked. Again.

    Last night, I put the Epiphone Hummingbird away on the rack with Dirty Nez (The Ibanez 3/4 size campfire strummer I traded musician Tommy Wayne Cross for my PS4. There’s only so many times I could run through The Last of Us without breaking down into tears. Again, I was single, I had time to…

  • Song Fate?

    Song Fate?

    This song keeps popping up in playlists, so I began to pay attention to it. I feel sorry for the person who wrote it. Those must’ve been some deep, tough memories. Disclaimer: don’t listen to this song if you’re debating on whether or not to jump off of that bridge. You can’t fly. Seriously, though.…

  • Tales From The Thicket

    Tales From The Thicket

    It’s time. My video for Black Cat Thicket Blues, the one that appears in the western horror anthology “Tumble Bleeds”, is a bit outdated. I play so much better now. That said, I’m working on recording a new version of the song. Even better, I’m planning to perform it this weekend at Opening Bell. I’d…

  • An Actual Gen X Stoner Saturday

    The Les Paul is tuned up, wiped down, and packed away. The plan is to do “Gen X Stoner Saturday”, and a medley of “Away” and “Blacktop Voodoo”. Technically, we are only allowed 2 songs, but I was born in the seventies. Songs used to last twenty minutes! If you’re in The Cedars this afternoon,…

    Anchored In You

    Good morning all you shiny, happy people. I hope you’re having a beautiful Friday so far. I’m in my music cycle right now so I felt like doing a bit of strumming. Perhaps I’ll do the open mic thing this weekend. Anyway, here’s to wishing all of you a wonderful pre-Christmas weekend. Preach truths, toke…

  • Birthday Guitar Practice

    Birthday Guitar Practice

    This is all I wanted for my birthday. Just to chill and jam in the AM. I hope you like it. If not, I hope you clicked off of it before it became too annoying. Either way, thank you for listening. I’m a work in progress.
