Last time my trio had rehearsal was right before Christmas break. So we should have been away for two weeks. Well, as fate would have it, I was under the weather last week, so we had to miss rehearsal til tonight. Wednesday?! Yes, we moved rehearsals to Wednesday and it seems to work out better.Continue reading “REHEARSAL…ON WEDNESDAY?!”

No clever headline, just the facts. The whole guitar community is shocked, saddened, devastated. This seemed really sudden. Nothing left to say except… RIP Jeff Beck. We lost one of THE greats.

Okay so we are four days into the new year. I have to say, and others have agreed, that watching the ball drop was underwhelming. Was like “Okay cool, back to watching videos on YouTube.” So for a first blog of 2023, what do I write about? New toys! I’m holding the Vibe pedal byContinue reading “FIRST POST OF 2023…AND WHAT DO I WRITE ABOUT?”

How do you end the year? You do an interview on the radio, of course! But not just any radio show. You do THE METAL MELTDOWN w/The Metal Mistress! It’s always a blast hanging at her studio, chomping on pizza and talking about the year that was. Was great seeing a lot of people popContinue reading “LAST BLOG OF 2022”

I am typing this a few hours before another Christmas comes to a close. Soon the tree will be put to the curb, the lights and ornaments stored in the attic until next year. And don’t blink, the next Christmas will be here before you know it. But 2022 ain’t over yet! This Wednesday nightContinue reading “IN THE HOME STRETCH”

After learning the secret handshake, wearing a fez and long robe, and doing the Hucklebuck…I am pleased to announce that Attacker bassist Brian Smith is on board for the next album and future live shows! Early Xmas for me! As you can see in the above pic, drummer Mike Sabatini (also of Attacker; he startedContinue reading “SECRET HANDSHAKE…”

So without realizing it, this is blog #100. Whodathunkit? Certainly not me. Well, it’s only fitting since the topic I am going to write about will be one of raw emotions and unfiltered feelings. Pretty much how my life has always been… I hit a brick wall last weekend (figuratively speaking) and while I willContinue reading “MY 100TH BLOG?!”

I waited a couple of days to talk about last Sunday’s rehearsal. I know some of you are thinking “It’s rehearsal, what’s so exciting?” I’ll tell you… Mike and I worked on another new song, and so far this was the fastest a song came together! No, it’s not THE fastest song (that belongs toContinue reading “WAITED A COUPLE OF DAYS”

Well here we are, the end of the year. Yes, it’s early December but I say this every thing: “Where did the year go?” We all say that, right? Anyway… This has been one hell of a year for me. Started off with doing some shows with the cover band Naked Glory, and while thoseContinue reading “TYPICAL YEAR-END ROUNDUP”

Had yet another rollicking rehearsal today w/Mike at his studio (Bandmother Recording) and while we didn’t work on any more new songs (yet!), the two we went over are really coming together nicely. Nicely? In metal?! Despite today being rainy and blah, once we played the first tune, we got lost in the music. AndContinue reading “RAMPING THINGS UP”
