Merry Chrismount
Give me a week off, and I will goof off like nobody’s business. It’s been really nice to do it, frankly — I am always running like mad so to have a full week was the ultimate Christmas present. I … Continue reading

Becoming a right-brain bowler
I used to bowl in elementary school, in a Saturday-morning league with my friends. I was white, it was suburbia — it was what you did. I was never that good — career high was 197 — and I still … Continue reading

The Van Halen show
So after all that waiting, the concert was last night. It was…not everything I’d hoped, but damned close. The Good: Eddie was sober. Eddie got his tone back. New amps + cable + proto EVH Wolfgang sounded wonderful. Eddie was … Continue reading

A sample of my stool
I am a sucker for customer rewards program. I always sign up for frequent flyer miles, and I will shop at a different supermarket if it gets me more invisible points with someone’s redemption scheme. As a guitarist, I have … Continue reading

Don’t stop believin’, indeed
Pardon me while I upload every video of every gig we ever taped so that I can front a big rock band like this guy, who is officially the new lead singer of Journey. Neal Schon wanted a singer so … Continue reading
