Okee dokee folks… The other night I went to a house concert in Connecticut where my friend Michelle Malone from Georgia was playing. Michelle has been been performing for about 30 years, toured all over the world, has over 17 CDs in her catalog and collaborated with artists such as Indigo Girls, Jackson Browne, Steve […]
Okee dokee folks … Sometimes I have long-winded stories to tell, sometimes not. This is one of those rare times that I don’t have much to say. Maybe the blood moon eclipse sucked my brain dry like some bizarre sci-fi horror flick. But I will never be at a loss to tell you about the […]
Okee dokee folks … Back in the ORIGINAL days of recordings on vinyl, I used to read the liner notes of my albums over and over again. There was no MTV (not that there really is now) and no internet. The only information you learned about the bands and songs was from the record’s packaging. […]
Okee dokee folks … Today I was running an errand and saw a heartbreaking sign stapled to a telephone pole. It was a notice for a lost parrot named Bella. You never think about a parrot getting lost — it’s usually cats and dogs. I always hope that these animals are reunited with their human […]
Okee dokee folks …The other night I was in Pawtucket to tape an appearance on the cable access show, “An Hour with Bob.” For some reason I always get lost in Pawtucket, even with a GPS, so I just don’t go there very often. Avoidance is the best solution! Anyway, if you have never seen […]
Okee dokee folks … I am going to use the “g-word” here. I am a bit hesitant to do so, but what the heck? Weird Al Yankovic is a genius! So he might not be a genius in the “Einstein way,” but he is a musical and comedic genius. I had the rare opportunity to […]
Okee dokee folks …”Be the change you want to see in the world.” That quote is evidently paraphrased from something Ghandi said, but there is no actual documentation of it.* Regardless, it is something to strive for. This year, my girlfriend and I planted a garden for the first time in her front yard – […]
Okee dokee folks … I know that I go off topic a lot in my writings, but that is just the way I am — scattered! But sometimes I do try to make a point. I am a huge animal person, and if it wasn’t for music I would probably run an animal shelter. The […]
Okee dokee folks … I am on my way back north going 70mph along Route 95. No, I am not driving. My girlfriend is. I have written my column in odd places before, but never in a moving car. We just spent a week at her father’s in South Carolina. It was interesting to be […]
Okee dokee folks … Some days I am brain dead. Maybe most days. Today I definitely am. The sun has already started melting what little amount of brain cells I have functioning in my head. Last weekend I was out working on a garden. What was I thinking? I don’t like sun. I honestly feel like […]
