They hail from Raleigh, NC, and I’ve driven there to see them,……

Why This is a Great Song
This song warms your heart and soul and just makes you feel good.
The Music Never Stops
Not around here anyways. For as long as I can remember music has been present around me. Whether that was from my parents singing, or playing their teenage records on the record player, which included all sorts of ’50s and 60’s hits by Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Bobby Darin, Jerry Lee Lewis, and a long……
Cambridge Audio Melomania Touch Earphones
Cambridge Audio Melomania Touch Earphones Music is a massive part of my life. It always has been and as I get older, it becomes more important and more ingrained in who I am. Not even music but sound itself, which is what music is. I own and have owned enough instruments to start several bluegrass……
The Grateful Dead and Little Richard
Rock and Roll has lost another pioneer. R.I.P., Little Richard.

The Smiths
Manchester Keats and Yeats are on your side. A band that has been at the top of my most played ever since I first listened to them is The Smiths. They go into a category that few bands/artists fall into which is that when I first heard them it was immediately life-altering. They were so……
John Perry Barlow and Bob Weir Writing Cassidy
Cassidy is a great acoustic piece released on Bob Weir’s 1972 solo album Ace. It contains a lot of interesting bits and pieces, as it’s a tribute to Neal Cassady, who was buddies with Jack Kerouac, both members of the Beat Generation and artists of words, albeit more spoken than written. They let others do……
Learning Guitar
My introduction to guitar was around age 12 or 13 when I won a classical Yamaha guitar from a radio promotion I’d entered. I remember my mother driving me to the radio station to pick it up and then me sitting on my bed in my bedroom wondering what in the world to do with……
