Ben Folds, The Norva

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

What an intense show! Ben is an amazing pianist…powerful keyboard work. In fact his playing is so powerful that on the second song of the set he actually broke a piano string. How do you do that? I have never even heard of that happening. Christy and I got great spots on the balcony standing [...]

W.A.S.T.E.

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

W.A.S.T.E., that five letter acronym that every Radiohead fan loves to see on a package that arrives at their door. W.A.S.T.E. is the name of Radiohead’s marketing and merchandise company. They handle the sales of merchandise and tickets for all things Radiohead. But what does it stand for? Well…being the curious guy that I am, [...]

Punch Brothers

Monday, March 31st, 2008

The trip to Raleigh got off to a rocky start, but ended up being a great weekend! Christy and I made it to Raleigh without any problems in her brand new 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman. She picked it up Friday and we were on our way. Once in town we settled into our hotel…one of [...]

Sittin’ Pretty!

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Well…finally I got notice of where my seating is for the Radiohead concert at Nissan Pavillion in May….And I must say, they are EPIC! Not too close…not too far away! Section 101 Row E Seats 14 – 17. I might wet myself. To me, Christy and Matt this is the holy grail. Well…Christy’s holy grail [...]

Andy McKee

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

I discovered this guy about a year ago while browsing through the splendor that is YouTube. Andy is an unbelievable guitarist. You have to watch and listen to understand what I am talking about. Trust me…this one is not one to miss.

Keb’ Mo’, The Sandler Center

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

For my father’s birthday, back in November, I got him tickets to see one of his favorite blues musicians (and mine too!), Keb’ Mo’. Last night was the show and it was nothing short of impressive. The guy’s voice is rough (in a great Bluesy way) and his guitar playing is impeccable. I just love [...]

Excitement

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

Radiohead just announced that they will be going on a North American tour this spring and summer. On the list already is Bristow, VA on May 11. We are so there. No matter what the cost…we will be there.

Grammys

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

I didn’t think it was possible for me to be more tired of Kanye West and the pedestal that he puts himself on. He expects the entire planet to bow to him and his high opinion of himself. I am not saying that he isn’t talented, because I think he is… he just really needs to put [...]

Bands That I Miss

Friday, February 8th, 2008

I was sitting in my car listening to a cd I hadn’t listened to in a long while and it got me to thinking about bands that I wish were still together (or alive) and still making music. And also bands that just don’t seem the same anymore. Here’s the short list: Sunny Day Real Estate: [...]

Musically Disabled

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

I was thinking the other day how strange it is that I am not a musician on some level. Music runs in my family (my dad, my grandmother, my sister) and music is super important to me, but it appears that the gene has skipped me. My father has been in various bands for as [...]
