  • Freedom

    Freedom

    Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. Or so the song goes. I chose to define freedom as this: I personally make more decisions for myself than my boss, my family, my government, and my friends. Henry Thoreau said, A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can…

  • K.I.S.S.

    K.I.S.S.

    Keep It Simple Stupid I first learned of the K.I.S.S. concept in college jazz lab band. The professor, a horn player by the name of Bart, introduced the notion to soloists. I loved Bart; he was awesome. Evidently there are two ways to interpret K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid, or, Keep It Simple, Stupid. I…

    Chubby digits, that’s what I got. What I mean is – I make a lot of mistakes. I blame my mistakes on my five thumbs which are attached to both of my hands. Generally, fat fingers applies to any editing program I might be working with: photo, video, audio, text… all of them. The wrong…

  • Learning To Listen

    Learning To Listen

    When I was in Junior High school band, our music instructor hammered in a basic musical concept over and over and over. He always said, “Listen to what is going on around you.” I think that is a basic fundamental of performance. If one of the members of the band plays louder than everyone else,…

    Don’t Forget To Laugh

    One of my nicknames is Chuckles; I snigger a lot. There’s too much that could make me cry, so I choose to counter with a grin and a snort, embracing absurdity. Yeah, man, life is too short and difficult. Another nickname is Pelon. My Latin friends gave me that name but usually there is a…

The reason why there is so much confusion and uncertainty in this time Covid 19 is because the aliens have invaded…

  • Social Capital

    What is the price of our relationships? I often joke that I do not have the emotional, intellectual, spiritual and financial capital for another girl friend. I ask myself: what am I willing to spend to consummate my musical relationships? The answer is simple yet surprisingly complex. First: I haven’t got time to work with…

  • Island Time

    Have you ever lived on an Island? Is “Laid Back” a term you would use for island life? This mind set actually exists, having lived on an island and experiencing it myself. For many, regardless of ability, attainment, and professional accolades, this pattern is endemic. Why? I don’t get it. I can’t be late for…
