Christian Bland and the Revelators
I find this style of music (psychedelic music, to put a label on it) so much more expressive than whatever else is out there, especially above the made-for-tv, keening-style of soulful, star-spangled-banner singing that’s so over-promoted on the networks. What’s … Continue reading

Calvin’s Challenge 2012
I did not race in Calvin’s Challenge this year and it’s a good thing that I did not sign up to do it. I am still sore from last week’s inspirational 24-hour death march and questioning now if I did … Continue reading

Fleche 2012
I allowed myself to get talked into joining a fleche team– OK, no one besides me talked me into it, I simply joined with a bit of delusion under the belt– and so the Danville Express, as our team is … Continue reading
Acid Mother’s Temple
Playing tonight at the Grog Shop! They are a legendary psychedelic band from Japan. It is most fortuitous that I am called off of a planned night shift.

The Skinless Franks – Bad For You
I further refined a bit of song that I started working on last week– it’s still unsettled, but I came up with some extension of the theme and play through a few variations. I wanted to retain some of the … Continue reading

Young and Adventurous
So, I have answered some music classifieds over the last few weeks and no one has responded to my long, wordy self-exegesis. With the prompting of my saintly wife, I am getting better at it. Still it’s a little … Continue reading
