It was a full day of guitar for me. First, I played guitar for my church (Terra Nova) in our morning service. Then I went to the John Petrucci clinic that afternoon. And I JUST got back from the Dream Theater concert in downtown Albany. I have to say it was a good day. The [...]
Hundred Monkey Theory is calling it quits, but is going out with a bang with one last concert at Grace Fellowship on Friday, May 2 at 7:30pm. The evening will be featuring the current band, plus rotating guest musicians who’ve played with HMT throughout the years (including yours truly).
Last night – for the fifth year in a row – Tami and I saw the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) at Albany’s Knickerbocker Pepsi Times Union Center. This has become a cherished Christmas tradition for me… the TSO music surely graces my car, home, and iPod during this time of year. As always, the show was [...]

Time passes at a constant rate, yet not everyone has time to dump their mind into clever blog-sized anecdotes at a nice constant rate for the electric ether’s amusement. If you haven’t noticed, and [...]
