Thanks for the perspective, Jimi … the world's going to hell but hasn't yet managed to take me (or my guitar) with it. Not yet, anyway. Still gigging and still playing with great musicians so count your lucky starts. I…

Armistice Day, 2025 … Kurt Vonnegut refused to go along with Veteran's Day but I suppose we should honor everyone who put on a uniform and got in harm's way.  I always thought Kurt had his head screwed on correctly…

Losing Jeff Beck so suddenly is really tough. I just finished watching a show of his from Sept, 2022 and he's totally at the top of his game. 78 yrs old and just killing it, amazing. A master of both…
