Life's Curve Balls

I've been absent for a combination of reasons.The first thing that kept me occupied was all of the preparation I was trying to do in gearing up for my recording project. Besides trying to take careof any last minute logistical challenges, I was also workingfrantically to finish a couple of songs I had left to complete for therecording session.But then, something happened...I…See More
Lessons from the Road
Well, I've been home for almost a week now from my "What's All That Jazz About?" east coast tour and, besides coming back in desperate need of some rest, I have also come back with some lessons from the road. The thing is, what I learned may seem like common sense but it's amazing how even experienced people can take certain things for granted ,or even just get so wrapped up in other things that the obvious becomes not so obvious.However, before I go into any real details, I would like to first…See More

The Concept
I've sat, and I've thought, and I've pondered, and I've mused...what could be the concept behind my next album? And, how would that concept help me come up with a name for the album? After much deliberation, I decided to look back at my last album, "Front and Center", for some ideas.Back in 2006, while I was recording "Front and Center", the whole idea was to basically introduce myself to the listeners. Additionally, I wanted to show my versatility as a musician, which is why there were such a…See More

Musicians Shouldn't Get Paid
There's a phrase I hear a lot of. And, I've been hearing it long before the economy tanked. It goes something like this: "I love how you guys sound! I'm an organizerfor (just fill in the blank here) and I would like to hire you to givea performance there. We don't have much money though." Bingo! There it is! The "we don't have much money" statement.Now, that is all well and good. People are always going to try and get your services for free or next to nothing. Also, there are certainly…See More

Look...DON'T TOUCH (A Musician's Universal Plea)
A couple of weeks ago, I had an experience that has put me on a personal crusade to educate people about musicians and their equipment.Now first of all, if you are a fan of mine, I hope that you will not take offense to this statement, but people simply don't have a single clueas to how expensive our equipment is and why nobody, other than themusician who owns it, should ever bother trying to touch ANY OF IT! So,with that said, here's what happened a couple of weeks ago.I was in the auditorium…See More
