I am becoming increasingly aware of what I perceive as opinion entitlement. Now, don’t get me wrong, you are entitled to have an opinion. However, your opinion only hold weight in the court of y...


If you have had the privilege of becoming a mother you are one of the more precious creatures on this planet. I sincerely mean that. There’s probably not a tougher job in the universe that compa...

I am in awe

It was a long day. There were several big name artists moving about the theater. I was already a nervous wreck because I wasn’t sure if my voice would hold up. I made it thru soundcheck and en...

Here I am again,

Found myself in another hotel room for 2 nights this week. It’s a stacked week. I have a phone call for a meeting in the morning, soundcheck for a show I’m doing Tues night at noon… Hit the stag...

The Pattern

It seems like whenever I am about to do something big - my body attacks me…or at least the common cold does. Last year I got the opportunity to be in a low budget cheesy and hilarious Christma...


I surprised her she arrived at a lunch that she thought she was meeting someone else for - We sat down at the table and she seemed like she was taken a back. She played off her nerves laughing...

A Bag of Mixed Emotions

I’m lying here tonight and I can’t figure out how I feel. I have a ton of work to do tomorrow and I scheduled a surprise meeting with my mom. She thinks she’s meeting another member of our fam...

Road Trip Part 2

So, I found some gear on marketplace that I really wanted. I messaged the guy. He messaged back. One problem - his profile was cryptic. Meaning, it gave a name and no picture - and his profile...

Road Trip

I decided to take a road trip. I’m 3 hours from home.. test drove a used car.. Tried to haggle the price for the heck of it - turns out it was a no haggle dealership… Drats. Now, I feel bad f...

The Thrill Is Gone

That’s the theme of the day. I went to get a haircut and the girl that normally cuts my hair, as usual, isn’t there. She owns the place so I rarely see her anymore. I feel like I don’t get the...

Can we?

Of course… I tackled a new path this weekend. One that I have been preparing for since October. Not just the paid talent, or the invited artist - I helped promote and produce my own show. I wo...

Lost Acquaintance

I used to hate letting people in… I didn’t want anything to do with anyone if it meant that we could potentially become friends. I didn’t want them to know me…I didn’t want to know them. Why...

Intriguing

I guess I observe more than I should. I will find myself listening to conversations around me or reading these entries wishing I could be in the same room with people when their creativity is la...

Super Focused

I drove to Texas last week and I’m still here. I’ve spent the last week in strategy meetings and catching up with old friends. Someone asked - how do you run on 3 hours of sleep and act like it ...

The Long Drive

On a work trip and decided to drive across the country and have found myself, “deep in the heart of Texas!” Had a few meetings this morning then an advocacy meeting to help a young woman with ...

Makes you wonder

Today, I was having a meal and overheard what sounded like a pretty heated discussion from a couple at the other table. They looked to be in their late 40s or early 50s. He was sitting there qui...

Reality bites!!

I’ve spent several years working in music as my profession. If you measure success, the people who win all the awards and play the big arenas then by no means am I successful. If you measure suc...

The Pattern

There has been a pattern of criticism that has ultimately made everyone an expert in everything. I think it started with American Idol and Simon. Simon’s blatant honesty made some people angry...

Ahem....

I don’t have an entry. I don’t have much to say at all - I’m enjoying the silence. I just wanted to post this to let you know that I think about all of you that follow me and whom I follow. ...

Living the Dream!

Not complaining - except for the person in charge of pushing me.. I will complain about them. Not in an angry way - in a sarcastic playful way. Tonight I had a local show with 3 other bands. I...

Eyes Wide Awake

Something has caused me the worst insomnia I’ve had in quite a while. At the moment, I’m going on 28 hours. I’m not tired and I’m not sure why. I sat and worked at my computer off and on for 18 ...

Hide and Go Seek

One of my favorite games as a kid because I was so good at it - hide and go seek. I’ve hidden so well before the other kids forgot I was playing and left. It’s true! I was so good at becoming p...

Blood Moon and AI

I guess I got in bed last night around midnight. I was trying to get to bed earlier than I normally do so I could wake up at 5 am and see the Blood Moon - Lunar Eclipse. I failed to factor in on...


Pretty much my entire life I knew, as a kid, that I grew up in the wrong time. I should have either been a teenager in the 50s (wouldn’t that have been the coolest?) Or I should be a teena...

Ever have those nights?

I remembered I had purchased a frozen cauliflower pizza crust so I took it out and let it thaw. I had this bright idea to make my own pizza. I was pretty sure that if I went overboard on trying ...


Book Description

The path my life has taken has left me with more questions than answers. I always believed that whatever you dreamed and worked hard for it would happen. At some point I woke up and the 9 year old little boy who dreamed of selling out stadiums and playing music apparently, was never born.
