Pick up the Pieces #MusicMonday
We’re less than two weeks into a new year, and it’s already been a shit show. All I can do is pick up the pieces and keep moving. Things will change, I tell myself, not necessarily for the better—not yet anyway. I remain hopeful even though I want to punch a wall. I’ve taken to...Continue reading Pick up the Pieces #MusicMonday →

Introducing the 800 Word Story
Author Bill Kirton and I have produced eleven stories together since January 2015. All of them were written for R.B. Wood’s Word Count Podcast. When the podcast ended in November 2020 after ten years, we wondered about the future of our co-authorship. Did we still want to write together? I’m happy to say the answer...Continue reading Introducing the 800 Word Story →

Cee Lo Green at Daryl’s House #MusicMonday
I’ve been binging on music at Daryl’s house all weekend. Daryl Hall started Live From Daryl’s House, a free monthly web show in late 2007. He’s played with so many incredible musicians, and there’d be more were it not for Covid. You can find many of the back shows on Youtube. I grew up with...Continue reading Cee Lo Green at Daryl’s House #MusicMonday →

On Time Changes, Cursing, and Gratitude
For the past week, I’ve tried to gather my thoughts to write my final post of the year. We’ve lived through ten months of a pandemic and a month and a half with a vaccine. Life continues, and we don’t know how long it will take for us get back to normal. Perhaps, that “normal”...Continue reading On Time Changes, Cursing, and Gratitude →

Just the Way You Are #MusicMonday #ScaryPockets
Theo Katzman is a multi-instrumentalist with an incredible voice. He’s a member of the funk band Vulfpeck, and here he’s featured with Scary Pockets. This is one of my favourite Billy Joel songs, and I think the band gives it a fresh funky spin. It’s the last Music Monday of 2020. Hard to believe how...Continue reading Just the Way You Are #MusicMonday #ScaryPockets →

Ace of Aces #MusicMonday
This is what happens when I fall down the rabbit hole looking for music. I was researching jazz drummers and discovered Nate Smith, then I found him playing in a band called The Fearless Flyers. He plays with Vulfpeck bassist Joe Dart, guitarist Cory Wong, and Snarky Puppy guitarist Mark Lettieri. I love their sound. I’ll post once more before...Continue reading Ace of Aces #MusicMonday →

I Say a Little Prayer #MusicMonday #ScaryPockets
Scary Pockets is a new discovery for me. Theyre a funk band founded by keyboardist, Jack Conte and guitarist, Ryan Lerman. Along with a rotating roster of incredible session musicians from LA, they put out regular music videos featuring amazing singers. Kenton Chen is a singer, actor, and songwriter who graduated from USC Thorntons jazz...Continue reading I Say a Little Prayer #MusicMonday #ScaryPockets →

Forty Years Later … #MusicMonday #JohnLennon
I wrote this post about John Lennon back in 2010, and just yesterday, I listened to an interview he gave in 1974. At the time, he was trying to become a U.S. resident. He was 33, with the wisdom of someone much older. I suppose I can say that since Im much older than he...Continue reading Forty Years Later #MusicMonday #JohnLennon →

Matter of Time #MusicMonday
Musicians who do good work in difficult times have my utmost respect. Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam is a wonderful example. He and his wife are co-founders of EB Research Partnership (EBRP), the largest non-profit that funds research to treat and cure Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). I’d never heard of the disease until recently. It’s extremely...Continue reading Matter of Time #MusicMonday →
