Three years ago today was my last day at the “day job”. That’s when I became a full-time musician. While I am thankful that UT Austin gave me the job that guided me to my musical career. I can’t say that I miss it a moment. I love recording music, playing it, podcasting, and getting […]

Free MP3 – The Lusty Young Sith
Two years ago, Diane Frost sent me a funny parody of “Lusty Young Smith“. It was too funny to pass up. It included first favorite Sci Fi genre, Star Wars, and it beautifully capture the original song, except it is about a battle between a Jedi and Sith. Way cool! I recorded this for my […]

“Alarmist Crap”
Do you watch or listen to the news and feel your blood begin to boil? Does it piss you off so much that you begin to “hate” the other side of politics? You may be subjecting yourself to “alarmist crap”. After my post yesterday about marketing and the news, I had a response from someone […]
Have You Been Suckered Today?
It’s interesting being a “marketer”. You understand and appreciate certain things that are marketed. Like the simple phrase “fair and balanced news”. It’s the catch phrase of Fox News. And it is a marketing slogan. Fox News is quite brilliant. The business was established by conservatives who want to hear conservative news. Those are marketing […]

Feline Wake Up Calls
If you have a cat you’ve probably experienced a feline wake up call. Morning comes and there’s your cat meowing, playing with the blinds, chewing your hair, digging his paws in your covers, or more. You know what I’m talking about. It is annoying as can be! You want to wake up when you’re ready […]
Crossing Over
I had an overwhelming experience today. A couple years back, I volunteered for an organization that plays music for people who are very near death. Irish music was requested by the daughter. So I went to a hospice to play a few songs. After one favorite song of the mother and daughter, the mother breathed […]
Back with a Voice for Cat Lovers Everywhere
Shortly after my last weekly update, I lost my voice entirely. It was then I decided to break down and take antibiotics for my sore throat and laryngitis. I was feeling better by the end of the week. That got me back to Yoga and exercising on a daily basis. Plus, I’m finally feeling productive […]
Free MP3 – Song of Assisi
During Spring Break in 1990, my mom and I went on a pilgrimage of the art of Piero della Francesca. We followed his art around Italy, culminating in a stop in Assisi. I don’t know what it was about the town, but upon entering, and throughout the visit, I was filled with a blissful sense […]
