Control is SOOO Nice!

Recently in an unfortunate stressful time, I squeezed my iPod on both sides of the case. I didn’t mean to affect anything. Suddenly my iPod showed the frowny face of DOOM! It no longer worked. I had lost it all. Slowly, I started to lose my sense of calm. My peace was threatened. I found [...]

Rocking the Pandora

So if you know me at all, you know that my earbuds are just about surgically attached to my head (other than church and work for the most part, but ask me some time if I have em with me at either place and I bet I do). Recently I have been listening to my [...]

Amazed at the Skills

Recently I have been listening to a lot of different of soundtracks. Some of the singing amazes me. Not that it is so good. It is decent, but these are not the faces of accomplished singers in my mind: Each of the above singer are featured on one or more of the soundtracks that I [...]

Assassins

You obviously know that I am a bit out there. Some of you wonder why. Today I am going to show you one of those reasons (if I told them all, I would be here forever and I don’t have that long to go today at work). It is a musical called: Assassins. It is [...]

Thursday Night … Concert Night

Tonight is Kayla’s 2nd Choral concert. When Kayla announced last fall that she had to either join Choir or Orchestra, my mind raced back to my original choice. I had selected orchestra/band my first time. My first instrument was the violin like my mother. Very shortly, I switched to cello, which I still wasn’t all [...]

Oh Yeah It Is FRIDAY!

Friday is a beautiful day. I love the weekend. Today I am anxious as can be. I have tons of songs running through my head: Who Do You Want to Be Today – Oingo Boingo: Just started screaming into my head this morning. I can hear the horns rolling just before the chorus. I hear [...]

I Often Wonder… The Roaring Twenties

Was I born in the wrong era? I am sure that I am one of the few guys that you know that still considers the Zoot Suit a cool looking outfit. When I was growing up, I listened to Harry Connick Jr., Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr. more than I did Aerosmith, Van Halen, [...]

Realizing a Father’s Love

It was my junior year at high school when I finally realized just how much my father could love me. It was the beginning of the year and I was in Humanities class. A field trip to Los Angeles to see “Phantom of the Opera” was discussed. Being a theater geek and a music fan [...]
