Making Waves with Tubas – Online Adventures in Personal Boundaries

Another cloudy day has brought me here to repent.  I thought perhaps writing this article in this place, would be appropriate, especially since it is here that I have typed long and hard about the good things I think about.  I am kind of proud that in close to 400 posts I have really had [...]

Two Minutes of Hate – Give the Proud What They Want

I suspect that every one who found their way to this post is aware of the Andy Warhol quote, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” With this meme Andy meant to characterize the impermanence of celebrity as it was then in the late sixties, but how much more true has the [...]

The Secret Language of Miracles: How We Got to See Beck without Tickets

It was a stressful week, the week before bumbershoot. Trials and tribulations ran cool through my mind as the time to leave came close. The excitement of leaving to the venue was great, but the stress of the moment caused more procrastination then usual. The act of packing waited till moments before we left on [...]

Road Trip Music

I’m getting old. I’m so behind on the times. My musical wanderings are not quite like they used to be. I try to listen to the radio and it seems a wasteland. The classic rock stations, seems to play the same songs over and over again, and perhaps it is just the dust setting on [...]
