This is a really amusing place I live, a lot of the time. I was playing in a local bar I will not name because I don’t want you to get the wrong idea about the place. It’s a dinky room with a three-sided oblong bar built up the middle with bartenders inside and customers …
This is Leroy Sharrock. He is a Didgeridoo player. One night in a bar we were discussing the serious matter of genocide particularly of the Indigenous Australians known as the Aborigines. Leroy attempted to explain to me the mystical magic of the Didgeridoo a musical instrument unique to those people. Not sure I caught on. …
A family of about eight Thai people sat at a table in the seafood restaurant Suttangrak where I had been a serenade singer for a few years. They were attentive to my songs which they requested and generously tipped me; nothing seemed unusual. A few minutes later my first set was finished and as I …
I hesitate to say it, but I am a great pool shooter. (As opposed to being a great pool player*). But I feel like a guy who hits a hole-in-one playing alone. I’m just a casual in-the-bar have-a-few-drinks relaxed kind of pool player. I often play others who don’t have a chance so I …
I have always loved this picture. To me it is so gripping as to almost be alive. The painting may not be all that sensational to your eye, but the story that forever attached me to it and how it came into my hands is a fascinating and strange tale indeed.

This is the kind of beautiful thing that happens to me on this magical journey I’ve been on for some years now. The picture at the left is composed entirely from grains of rice. The artist copied the image from my business card, which itself is a cut from the video of my song Vagabond …
I am urged by some who know me to begin writing some kind of journal blog about my “incredibly interesting life”. I am a little embarrassed and humbled by the thought that there’s anything that special about it that would be of interest to anyone. But I have been convinced because last night I made …

The Belichick/Brady Patriots are by far, the best team ever in the NFL if such a comparison can be made. No other team comes close….12 Division titles….9 AFC Title games….. 6 Super Bowls…. 4 Championships…..1 Undefeated season. Montana, Bradshaw, Aikman-era teams don’t have 1/2 those stats…… Belichick is the intellectual master coach of the game …
