According to a recent Forbes survey, San Francisco was ranked as the 7th Happiest City in the world (the only city in the US). I’m biased of course, but recently attended an event at Union Square that celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the Woodstock. More specifically the performance of The Who’s Tommy, and Pinball Wizard. To celebrate, 100’s of people showed up, and after an amazing performance presented by Wolfgang’s Vault, the crowd had there chance to play their finest air guitar rifs.

SF is a goldmine for people watchers like myself, especially with a camera in hand.

This is a great quote I came by…twice. “Energy and persistence conquer all things.” -Ben Franklin Something I need to remember right now. Funny how when you let … Read more
This is actually a long overdue post. A few weeks ago, I had stopped by one of my favorite coffee spots to use the internet and get my blog on. Austin has plenty of music constantly going, and I am always a fan of as many distractions as I can get while writing, so … Read more
Earlier this month I found myself digging through the collection of “Sample Maps” that Ethan Hein has been creating. I was mesmerized to say the least. It is truly amazing to see where the musical samples come and go, and the intricate web they weave. If you know me then you know how stoked I … Read more
Recognize…Analyze… 3 times in the chest, point blank range, 44 right on the back like Danny Ainge… can’t wait to pick up this CD!
Do Or Die seems to always have such a distinctly smooth sounding flow, especially when teamed up with Johnny P. Timeless.
