The Department of Homeland Security has degraded the Terror Alert Warning to Level Zombie:Based on a review of intelligence and an assessment of threats by the intelligence community, and the fact that Mr. Rogers is no longer around, the Attorney General in consultation with the Homeland Security Council has made the decision to return the…

My second trip to the Doc Watson’s Pub open mic was not as good as the first time. They had a nice sized crowd and a good mix of musicians including some decent bands, but each act seemed disconnected as if everyone was just playing for themselves and not the crowd. Either that or I…

The new poll asks which of my show flyers you like the best so far. The last poll (Best Futuristic Technology) was the most popular one yet, but I need to scold some of you on your choices. Two of you would rather have a Flying Car than Teleportation. Doesn’t this strike you as a…

To everyone who came to see my show at Grape Street last night – You rock. Two weeks notice before a show makes it tough because many have plans, but I was really happy with the people that either came out to see me or just happened to be there and hung out. The weather…

The Department of Homeland Security’s color coded rating system leaves many Americans confused about how alert we should be for terrorist attacks. The official order of how likely an attack will occur is Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, and Red. What is the reasoning behind this order? Obviously red stands for danger, but what makes orange…

20-26 inches is the forecast and now it looks like everyone is getting President’s day off. I put up photos of the storm in my new gallery, including one of an SUV limo.

I added a real photo gallery to the site, so now I can handle images a lot better. So far I have galleries for pictures of my shows, flyers, instruments, and some random pictures I’ve taken with my camera. Update: I’ve also added a prototype of a flyer for this weeks show! Let me know…

Last night I saw Adrien Reju play with her band for the first time and they put on a great show. The Grape Street Pub always sounds good, even upstairs unless the bass drum of the downstairs band is competing for decibels. Andrew booked me to play on Saturday, February 22 at 8:00PM. This is…
