Last night was one for the books. First time playing Thirsty Farmer in Sussex, NJ with Supernova, and to my surprise it was THEIR first time playing there. I thought they played there with their guitarist Frank but what do I know? It’s a nice place, very lively, and the crowd… Oh Lord that crowdContinue reading “WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER…”

SATURDAY NIGHT…
You sang the Bay City Rollers in your head, didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU?! 🙂 Yes, it’s Saturday November 8th, and you’d think I’d be gigging, or at least seeing a band. Nope. I don’t have a gig until Friday November 14th with Supernova. And since I will be out until all hours next Friday, theContinue reading “SATURDAY NIGHT…”
THIS IS 56
This is 56. Let’s get one thing squared away: I am proud to advance in age. Some people think I’m complaining but that’s the farthest from the truth. If you miss your youth, that’s cool. I don’t miss mine one bit. I’m better now in many ways than way back when. Last Friday, I satContinue reading “THIS IS 56”
THE RUMORS ARE TRUE
Last night I went up to DJ Metal Mistress’ studio to do another live radio show. While we did the usual witty banter back and forth, cracked lots of bad jokes, and talked about the usual topics, I kept something under my imaginary hat for a month. Wasn’t easy but when I said it, IContinue reading “THE RUMORS ARE TRUE”
I LEARNED TWO NEW THINGS LAST NIGHT
Yes, that’s a corn maze. I did a gig with Supernova at Lentini Farms last night, and I learned two things: I can play guitar with one glove on my fretting hand and with a leather jacket on. My Judas Priest fantasies have come full circle. This time the weather was windy which made thingsContinue reading “I LEARNED TWO NEW THINGS LAST NIGHT”
WHAT’S THE DEAL?
All three of you are most likely wondering “What’s the deal? You haven’t blogged since October 4th!” I can dream, right? Truth is, I have been super busy with a lot. That’s not an excuse at all. Lessons are packed to the gills and that’s a good problem to have. Feels nice to keep busyContinue reading “WHAT’S THE DEAL?”
STILL PINCH MYSELF
Twenty-two years ago, and with only two guitars in my arsenal at the time, I became an artist endorser for Ibanez guitars. I still pinch myself. I won’t rehash the whole story, as you can find it on here under the title “20 Years”. Everything you need to know is there. But I will sayContinue reading “STILL PINCH MYSELF”
GLAD IT HAPPENED, GLAD IT’S BEHIND ME TOO…
The double-header gigs were fun but glad they’re behind me. With exactly one hour to schlep from one show to the next…yeah it was rough. I’m not complaining at all; in fact, I am grateful that Bob Lamb asked me (he could have asked any guitarist) to pitch in. I’m a road warrior now! FirstContinue reading “GLAD IT HAPPENED, GLAD IT’S BEHIND ME TOO…”
TWO FOR ONE…OH BOY!
I asked for one gig a month. For the most part, I get that. But here’s a twist in my matrix…a double header!? There isn’t enough coffee in the world. Bob Lamb, bassist with many cover bands, asked me today if I could possibly do two shows on the same day September 27th. HUH?! I’mContinue reading “TWO FOR ONE…OH BOY!”
I FOUND MY PLACE
You are most likely looking at this picture and thinking “Has Steve lost his mind?” I did that years ago, so keep up with me. I will never ever profess to being knowledgeable at all about Buddhism or whatever. However, lately I’ve been feeling things shift, my energy being re-purposed in some cosmic way. NowContinue reading “I FOUND MY PLACE”
