  • Down By The Riverside

    To all the local NW Pennsylvania yokels, let it be known if you don’t already! Riverside Inn Music Festival starts today at 4:30pm! (Gosh, that’s kinda soon.) From then till Sunday, there’s some spectacular music lined up for this event, on two different stages.Some personal friends who I know put on a great show include…

  • Remember That Time

    Fellow songwriter and friend Jerry Gaff has recently procured this video from the end of last year. This is one of the several appearances I’ve made on the Meadeville PA radio station COOL101.7’s local music show “The Backstage Pass”. This particular appearance was for the show’s Christmas special, involving 20 some musical guests on the…

  • Everything, Everywhere, All the Time

    Well, things are rapidly picking up as this year’s summer season ebbs closer, so allow me to make a futile attempt to cover the grounds for an update. Still writing when the chance occurs. I may or may not throw up some new rough cuts soon. While I do love sharing new songs, I’d hate…

  • Arts & Strangers & Liars & Drafts

    March is going out with bang, ending with the 9th Bi-Annual Arts & Drafts at The Brewerie! This will be the third time I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of it, and the FIRST time I’ll be involved in it with band: Strangers and Liars! Ecstatic for the line – up for when we…

  • So It Begins

    You may have noticed on the friendly sidebar to the right one of the performances listed mentions “Strangers and Liars performing”. For those of you saying “what might that be?” inquisitively, feel free to jump back a few posts, or hell, I’ll just tell you now, updating those of you already in the know! Strangers and Liars is…

  • The Songwriter Showcase

    I’m a bit ashamed of myself, considering that I haven’t made any mention to this event (which is rapidly becoming more like a club or society) even as it’s nearly been a year since it began. It’s becoming more involved all the time, and has created an excellent outlet and opportunity for those stand-alone singer…

  • The Unknown Eulogy

    Finished writing something new the other day called “The Man I Never Knew”. A young man who shared many mutual friends with me died last week. I never knew him, not the name or the face after seeing a picture of him. My condolences go out all those who did know him. It saddened me…

  • Good Times Gone Bad

    After viewing a notably disheartening display of musical arrogance, I found myself in a writing mindset. It can be so frustrating watching the changes in our places of comfort. We strive so hard to find or create the kinds of places we want to be. Then once we finally have them, it becomes a matter…

  • Strangers & Liars

    It’s a vicious cycle, being busy with all these exciting developments that I want to sit down and write about but not having enough time to sit down and write about them, which in turn, probably leaves you thinking there are no exciting developments. Talk about counter productive. But as I catch my breath here,…

  • COOL101.7 is… uh… Cool!

    So I realize that I haven’t done a “Tip of the Hat” for quite some time, and there’s a handful of reasons for that. One is laziness, which I have lots of, regrettably. But aside from that, it was becoming quite difficult deciding who to write about, as so many people out there have been…
