There’s actually a little note in my calendar where I left off last time .. are you ready, April 11th.  Let’s just say I’ve been preoccupied.  I’m up early today .. so, let’s get caught up.  My younger brother, Jeff turned forty in May.  We decided to have a surprise party a month early .. you [...]

It’s a good thing I wasn’t turning this stuff in for college credit … I’m late again!  I left off some time in February .. I think.  I’m going to turn back my calendar and see what we skipped over.  Ah, first bit of significant information I see is that I lost my gig at [...]

Today was a record high .. over 80 degrees in the Chicagoland area.  I’m still writing about my adventure a few months back in February.  Can you believe it … I’m so far behind.  Bare with me as I try to catch up on things … so, here goes.  We left off with a quick [...]

It’s already been a month since I’ve been back from Ohio .. but, there is plenty to tell so here goes.  The journey began late Wednesday night with my first stop in Indianapolis, Indiana.  It was easier to break up the trip rather than drive all night.  After a good nights sleep it was off [...]

Yes, it’s been much too long since my last post.  If you’re reading this .. then you’ve survived the holidays and that’s a good thing.  January is a month to catch up on things for most of us … so let’s see what I can fill you in on.  My good friend Terry Evanswood and [...]

Another month has flown by and this should be my busy season.  Although things seem to be picking up  .. they are far from seasons past.  Back around 1994 we were running around sometimes doing up to five shows a day. Of course not every one can pull that off .. but, we did. [...]

Nothing is better than the smell of fall in the air and an extra hour of sleep.  If you haven’t done so already we turned back the clocks last night.  I can’t tell you how valuable an extra hour of time is for me.  It seems that I just keep getting pulled in so many [...]

It’s always been a special time of year for me .. the fall is just beautiful in Chicago.  I can still remember my dad mowing the lawn with his shirt off.  My brother would be planted on the couch watching the football game.  Of course things were much simpler back then and time just keeps [...]

Yes, I’ve got plenty of explaining to do .. it’s been well over a month or two and I haven’t had time to update things.  Right now I’m suppose to be up at the Wisconsin Dells .. but, things got messed up.  I’ll eventually get up there … maybe.  I’ve been going non stop since [...]

Again .. lets give this a shot.  It’s almost 2am and I’m just sitting down to type this out.  In real time it will be August tomorrow .. and I’m still writing about my adventures in June.  I’ve been busy getting things ready for our show at Abbott’s next week .. and if I keep [...]
