music | words | ideas | and other things I find amazing!
A few weeks ago, I had a chance to perform at the Neutra Museum and Art Opening in Silverlake, CA. A photographer, Dietmar Kohl (and his Facebook), was on hand and took a couple photos and a video. You can find those below. Another cool side-note, another performer played – good guitar player – named Gary […]
Those who wish to be Must put aside the alienation Get on with the fascination – Limelight, Rush You is kind. You is smart. You is important. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H50llsHm3k Then He added, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown.” – Luke 4:24 Let me start by saying a couple things. […]
A newer song I wrote with a blues feel. I introduced to the band (Arrogant Sage) last week at rehearsal and we performed it admirably for a, “Hey guys, here is something you’ve never played before.” That is the benefit of playing with better players than myself. I have a, “How it was written” and […]
I setup my old Sony HD video camera, which promptly ran out of battery about 5 songs into the set. From that footage, I decided I would publish these two songs. Enjoy! Oh.. and consider subscribing to my YouTube channel. Thanks. Lonely Mile Man © 2010 I wrote the chorus back in 2008 driving back […]
I wrote a couple new songs last week. The first I’ll classify as rock & roll. It is titled, “Tumbleweed Into the Fire.” I’ll post a basic recording of that soon. The other song came even more quickly. It has much more of a folk feel. I plan to record it more sparsely but did […]
How a cowgirl and broken-hearted crush wrote a song She’s thinkin’, as he’s leavin’ “Ain’t it somethin’ this relief I’m feeling” There ain’t no broken heart in sight So she saddles up for a midnight ride Hoof-beats match her heart beat stride for stride Her life gets a little clearer tonight Back in 2007/2008 I […]
Later today I’m speaking to a business networking meeting – giving my presentation, The Entrepreneurial Careerist. It covers highly proactive attitudes and strategies for professional growth. Here is the event announcement on LinkedIn. They asked me to provide a handout with a bio. I didn’t like what I had. Because many of my speaking engagements […]
I wrote this song soon after my home in Arizona was destroyed in a Monsoon storm. The song came about when friend and local businessman, Doug Bruhnke, upon seeing me on the news talking about losing everything joked, “All the press you ever wanted.” I replied and said, “All the press I NEVER wanted!” That […]
My oldest son graduated from Moody Bible College in Chicago this past weekend. I went out to visit he and his wife, attend the graduation, and see Chicago minus the freezing temperatures. We were out in February – me, his siblings, and his mom and her boyfriend – to surprise him for his birthday (watch […]
Who is allowed in the conversation? The other day I was live-streaming on Facebook – doing one of my intermittent, “S is for Song” streams. It’s me, typically in my office, with a guitar, performing three songs, usually originals. I enjoy doing it and have been asked by some listeners to do them more often. […]
