Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! I’ve been paying a lot of attention to Paul Gilbert lately. You know, the guitarist from Mr. Big. He’s a guitar genius, actually. He’s a shredder but he’s also technical but has a lot of soul and feeling, too. This is just a little sampling of his career and it’s pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C2jIoTKefI Until tomorrow,…
Salutations™!! So, I, or more specifically, The Man Who Ate the Town me, wrote an article for Triad City Beat and I wrote a post about that on the food blog. Now, I’m letting you know about because I know not all of you follow my food blog (which you should). So, read that HERE…
Salutations™!! So, Gene Simmons is my musical hero. His stage presence, his business acumen, him. I love it all. Is he an arse? Yes. But, he is the reason I picked up an instrument at all. I have grown to really get into Carol Kaye just because she has been on so many classic albums…
Salutations™!! City Beverage, the Official Beer Sponsor of The Less Desirables, presents Briney Melon Gose from Anderson Valley Brewing Company, The Less Desirables Beer of the Week. We have had this brew before on The Less Desirables but man, I never can have it too much. This beer is tart and salty and stout,…

Salutations™!! Today on The Man Who Ate the Town podcast, Kelly and I talked about the new pub in town, West Salem Public House and the new salad-themed restaurant, Chopt Creative Salad Company.

Salutations™!! I totally wanted to say that I had fun playing with the Threadbare Trio + 1 yesterday at Muddy Creek Cafe/Music Hall. We played with Chad Huskey as our “+1” and he was awesome, as always. Sam Foster and Seth Williams’ band, Whiskey Foxtrot started the show off with us and they even…

Salutations™!! Yesterday was a cold, snotty, sleety, crappy-weathered day. But, I had my best gal and we had each other to keep warm and enjoy some record listening. That means, of course, that we went by Underdog Records! And, here is what we got: The Decemberists – I’ll Be Your Girl – The BCPF is a huge fan…
Salutations™!! My cousin Gary put this on my timeline and I thought it was just awesome, so I’m sharing it with you, today. We all know that KISS is my favorite band. We know, too, that I did “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” with the Vagabond Saints Society a few years back. I think…
Salutations™!! Today in record release history has been the largest that I’ve had since I started doing the “X years ago today this album was released” posts. If it’s not something I have for releases, I move on to birthdays and today, I didn’t even get to that, much less the deathdays. So, let’s…
Salutations™!! Over on The Man Who Ate the Town blog I just told tales of a Wise Man Tap Takeover. Read more about that HERE. I know this is kind of last minute but while the takeover will be all week, the special beer dinner is tonight, but it goes until 10, so get on…
