"That old funny-shaped bit of wood is still staring me in the face every day saying 'come on, you haven't started yet!' Its infinite." – Jeff Beck You'll never make progress if you don't pick the thing up every day to play something. Sometimes we get stuck in the "I need to practice, but......" rut - fill in the blank with,... I don't have time, I'm too busy, too much going on, I can't fix xyz... whatever the excuse is... You may say, "you don't know my situation." And although that may be true, I'm human just like you and I've either experienced it myself many times (trust me I have), or I've seen my students struggle with it. We all do! You're not alone... none of us have it all together, but what I do have is way out from the excuses... If you're even the slightest bit curious, comment "no more excuses" I'll send you more information about what I'm cooking up behind the scenes... 👇 P.S. This song sums how I'm feeling about this group... Start to get excited... it's ok... More to come!

Last week I was working on a setlist for a July 4th gig this weekend. We're playing four hours. Trying to keep it fun, but enjoyable for the band also. This year, we had a hard time finding just the right people, so many people were booked in advance. The lady booking us, did request us early in advance, I thought also, but apparently not early enough for such a big July 4th weekend. I finally found a friend, someone who is in this group, actually, or he was... @Laurence Morey, a former student of mine, and a fantastic musician in his own right. We've shared stages together, but that was in a church environment, a few years ago. For this gig, he's agreed to play bass guitar and keyboard, since I have my son on drums (very talented), and I'm on guitar, vocals and harmonica. How do you create a setlist?!

I have a July 4th gig tomorrow, and I’m preparing for that, while also preparing for Sunday morning worship. Thanks for hanging with me this long… More to come!

For those who like rock… never heard of this band, have you?!

So what songs are you all working on at the moment? Thanks R.
