Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™! Today is the 46th anniversary of Led Zeppelin’s sixth studio album, a double, Physical Graffiti. I really enjoy this album. It’s not my favorite Zep album but it’s not my least, either. What I do find interesting is how much of it is rehashed throwaways from previous albums. Especially when I see which are…
Salutations™!! Today I get to celebrate a holiday that many celebrate now but when I started there were a lot fewer. Today is International Podcast Day. I have mentioned before that I have been podcasting longer than probably 98% people in the area and probably that much or more continuously. I started podcasting in 2007…
Salutations™!! Well, it happened. Eight years after they published the last Top 500 Albums of All Time, Rolling Stone Magazine has released a fresh, brand new list. I will admit I haven’t read through it yet. But, I do plan on making a comparison between the 2012 list and this 2020 list and filling the…
Salutations™!! Today, I’m not posting any video. Today, I’m posting about a (gasp! yes another) fundraising effort by the musical folks of WSNC. I’ve talked about Dale Cole and the Virtual Village a few times and they have been on The Less Desirables a few times. DC&VV put together a compilation of area musicians, with…

Salutations™!! Today is the 31st anniversary of The Cult’s Sonic Temple album. And, it’s not every day that I get to play a video that I was in. But, this was my pals Clay, Chad, Lee and Neal doing a whole Cult set in Greensboro a couple of years back. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel……
Salutations™!! I recorded three podcasts today. The Man Who Ate the Town, which I do every Monday, with Ray, Lea (who does Winston-Salem Strong with me) and Daniel Butner from Carrabba’s Italian Grill. We talked about the “list” and all the cool and good things that Daniel is doing. Then, Bethany, Danielle and I pre-recorded…

Salutations™!! I was in my studio this morning at 715a and with the exception of about 35 minutes, was in there until 515p. I was working on a political ad for TV and online as well as The Man Who Ate the Town. Add the “Big Job” and I’m worn out. Tomorrow is the “big…
Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of Cheap Trick’s Dream Police album. I got to perform my favorite song from this album when VSS did the Live at Budokan a few years back. But, other than Clay Howard, I don’t think anyone touches Robin Zander trying to sing these songs, so, instead of a cover, here’s the…

Salutations™!! Last night we were supposed to do our set of Springfield songs but the Forsyth County Sherrif’s department of the Village of Clemmons had other plans. So, here’s a bit of what you missed with us not playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py05iTYqcPg Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “Cause every man sees in the younger…
Salutations™!! Today, I picked up my bass guitar for the first time in over a year. Yep. A year. I love playing bass. I love when I play with my friends. What I don’t love is learning songs and I don’t like rehearsals. Both are necessary evils, though. And I get that. So, I picked…
