Month: July 2003

John Shaughnessy sends word of his upcoming gig at the Tree House. Why not come out to see me play Friday, July 25 (8:00 pm) at the Tree House Coffee House (formerly The Living Room) at Haddon and Collings Ave., Collingswood. In case you’ve never been there, The Tree House is a nice little place,…

I never thought I’d do it, but I’ve kicked my soda habit. Not a drop in over 3 weeks, although I still have the occasional Sugar Free Red Bull. I don’t believe the aspartame (nutrasweet) detractors on the Internet. How could a substance ingested by millions daily be so toxic? It may not be good…

I’m proud to announce that last week’s sound problems have nearly vanished thanks to Roz and everyone at the Tree House who got the system working properly. Everyone sounded great tonight and I hope that continues. I made a pretty dumb mistake as the host tonight and I wish I could do it over. We…

Sorry to anyone who planned on signing up for the open mic earlier today. My web host woke up to a Denial of Service attack today, causing this site to be down almost all day. The open mic is definitely still on so come out tonight at 8:00PM (7:00PM signup).

Updates may be sparse this week since I’m moving, and just in the nick of time! I’ll also be out of town for a while, but I’ll still be here for this week’s open mic at the Tree House. What is up with the Oaklyn kids who planned and almost went on a local killing…

A third recap of the Tree House open mic was posted by James of Apple of Discord:after nelson beat me 147-137 in a spirited game of nba live 2003 – we were neck and neck until virtual nolan and virtual matt missed two easy buckets that led to a seven point swing – we went…

The guy over at hipp music (I don’t know his actual name yet) gave a quick and pretty crummy review of the open mic last night. Sadly, I agree with everything he said except that the PA wasn’t manned properly. When the Columbia crashed no one said it wasn’t manned properly.Last night was my first…

Local musician Keith Lewis wrote a piece for his website on why people start playing guitar and how likely their success will be. His definition of success isn’t being a famous guitar wizard, but rather being a halfway decent player.”Many aspire, few attain.” That very old saying rings very true for those in pursuit of…

Tonight was exhausting. Someone must have messed with the sound system since last Wednesday, because it was giving us problems all night. At first it was so bad we had to mix people using only the gain knob! Eventually with the help of Roz and Adrien lending us her tuning pedal, we were able to…

The show gets started a little earlier tonight. Signup in person starting at 7:00PM and I’ll begin at 8:00PM sharp. Of course, you can signup online right now and beat the traffic. If you sign up online later than 6:00PM there is no guarantee you’ll be on my list. Pay no attention to the euro-style…
