So I’m poking around on Facebook one night and find one of those little sidebars about Rufus Wainwright playing someplace in New Jersey. I click, it leads me to a tour schedule and lo and behold, the concert the Queen of my Universe and I have been waiting for was coming to Buffalo!
So we [...]

I went to the Opera once. I don’t even remember what it was. It was shortly after I’d seen the Who in the fifth row and so I couldn’t hear too well, even though I was in the fifth row at the opera. Even though it was sung in English (a real no [...]

I’m a huge fan of irreverence in any context. My guitar sensai introduced me to the music of Bobby Bare, who was way ahead of his time in terms of being irreverent, and its this irreverence that initially attracted me to Todd Snider.

Here they are, in no particular order.

Now that Facebook has hooked me up with a lot of my high school friends I’m dusting off a lot of synapses. It’s always good to reconnect synapses, especially when they’re musical memories. Each time I see old friends, I hear the music they planted in my brain forever.

The women in my life have a big influence on what I listen to when they’re around. I have extreme tastes in music, and don’t object when the Queen of my Universe or the Cat of my Universe object to a song or two.
