It’s been a busy week, what with the surprising election results and all. I do have one more political idea to finish up and post this weekend. But I think it’s time to write an update on music stuff. I played the open mic at Audie’s Olympic Tavern on Tuesday night, and followed that up […]
So…. How was your Tuesday? Yesterday was one of those hectic days. Work was backed up due to Monday’s rain. I installed a heat exchanger on a heater, and that took longer than I thought it would. got home with just enough time to string the Taylor… Oh, if only I had only strung it! […]
First off, let make sure that no one mistakes me for a vocal coach. I am not. I’ve had some vocal training when I was studying to be an actor and broadcaster, both of which I never ended up doing as a career. That training gave me some valuable instruction on how to use my […]
I’ve been trying to sell my big bass rig for over a month, and it wasn’t moving at all. If all the components were new, it would have gone for $800 at least. I was trying to sell it for $400, but I had no takers. Then, out of the blue, a guy offered trade […]
Just got back from the Revue open mic. I haven’t done one of these for a few months at least. I played two new songs. Both challenging. I played Blackbird, and damned near pulled it off without a hitch! I cut it short because I started to get unsure where I was going. The next […]
… And I don’t mind. Gonna go work. Then come home and get my bass on! Playing a couple of bass songs at open mic tonight.

Perhaps there is some majik when we are moved by another. The impossible knowing that they are on your side. May the creator find […]
I played yet another open mic all by my lonesome self on Monday night. I did pretty well, all things considered. I’m finally losing the bit of nervousness I wrote about previously, partly because I’m getting better on guitar, and partly because I’m getting used to being on stage solo, with no band to […]
**—For those who are not Fresno Musicians… This is a meaningless post that will make no sense. Go read something else! 🙂 ** ——————————————————— Here is Wayne’s letter, in its entirety. To the Fresno Music community: I understand that there are questions and doubts concerning my issued apology. I would like to say something, so […]
As my 47th birthday has been approaching, I’ve been reflecting on a few things… OK, it’s more because of the fact that for my birthday Greg bought me a 12 string Takamine guitar and I’m going to town!… Yes, I can already play “Tambourine Man”! Where was I…  Oh yes.  As my birthday approached, I’ve been reflecting […]
