If you told me last year that I would have a new album out, a new signature pick, rehearsals with two bands and another guitar in 2021, I would have said “Really, dude?” But what a difference a year makes. In this picture, I am holding an Ibanez Mikro, which is a short-scale guitar thatContinue reading “IF YOU TOLD ME…”

I can finally announce that a new endorsement deal happened as of November 12, 2021. I am now a signature artist with Pick Guy, Inc. based out of Detroit, Michigan! After many years with another pick brand, it was time to move forward. I chat with Carson Randolph, the owner of Pick Guy, and heContinue reading “I’M SO PICKY”

Another year around the sun…I am now a 52-year-old dude and proud of it. My birthday was November 2nd but am still continuing the festivities. I’m allowed to! Got to spend time with family, which is most important. Gave myself a bit of a break from teaching and rehearsing, both things I enjoy doing butContinue reading “AROUND THE SUN AGAIN”

The unthinkable happened last night. I pulled my gear out of the basement and stood in front of people. And played. And life was good. After a few rehearsals, it was time for Naked Glory to take the stage (well, the floor) and bust out 30 songs over three sets. Started off mellow, ramped itContinue reading “SO THIS HAPPENED…”

I got to breathe yesterday. Once. Today was back to busy mode and no complaints here! Did an interview at BulletProof Music Studios in Hazlet, NJ to continue promoting my new cd MOOD SWINGS. Michael Sabatini joined me, as he was asked to be interviewed as well, so that worked out fine. Doing the questioningContinue reading “A BREAK? WHAT’S THAT?”

If you felt the Earth tilt off its axis earlier this afternoon, now you know why… If I want something done right, like get back on stage in 2022, this is how its done! The rhythm section of the metal band Attacker will be pounding the songs out (and how!!) We had our first rehearsalContinue reading “IF I WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT…”

October is shaping up to be a very busy month. Ever since my new cd MOOD SWINGS came out on August 25th (that long ago?!), my life has been in hyperdrive. Not complaining at all, but at least today I get a bit of a breather. Inhale, exhale! The trio of interviews that I didContinue reading “MORE OF…MORE”

It was a high holy day when the UPS truck showed up last night. I was out teaching but still knew that when I arrived home, a package would be waiting for me. And here it is! The second batch of MOOD SWINGS cds has arrived, and orders are going out the door. As IContinue reading “ANYONE FOR SECONDS?”

The Ibanez RG7420MC 7-string, affectionately known as Pinkie (thanks to my daughter), got a make-over today at the Ibanez warehouse in Bensalem, PA. This looks almost brand-new now!! Their tech Mike really knows how to work his mojo! He serviced my Universe 7 back in 2019, and he’s done work on guitars for artists suchContinue reading “PINKIE GETS A MAKE-OVER”

As of a few minutes ago, the 100th copy of MOOD SWINGS just sold. I’m a sellout!! More copies are coming, but you can still order through this link: MOOD SWINGS CD And since the arrival of the second wave won’t get here until Sept 23-28, I will send free downloads of the new albumContinue reading “I’M A SELLOUT!”
