I tweaked my blog post about helping my friend, singer-songwriter Christian Beach make music videos during COVID-19 quarantine for publication in New Jersey Stage magazine. The article appears in the latest issue (No. 71). Check it out!

Sucks to see another iconic NJ music venue close, but it’s the end for Long Branch, NJ’s venerable Brighton Bar. Went to a few shows there and played there a couple of times in @christian_beach’s backing band. Here’s a video still from a performance of David Bowie’s “Five Years” that we did there in 2008. Look up “Christian Beach Five Years” on YouTube and you’ll find it, as well as the live studio version we did for a Bowie tribute album. #BrightonBar #NJ #livemusic
Happy Opening Day! Two years ago, I took my older son to CBP. We were supposed to go again last year. This year, we’re all in quarantine after a possible exposure at my younger son’s school. And I have some minor, cold-like symptoms. We all got tested yesterday, so hopefully we’ll get results in the next couple of days. In the meantime, #GeauxPhils and #RingTheBell
Been working on refining mixes and re-recording some vocals on some of my more recent songs for a “secret” project.
Just wanted to get in an easy 10K-distance run to get miles back under my feet. A big positive is that I felt stronger as the run went on. I think my legs are finally starting to remember how to do this. #running #strava
Apparently, I joined Twitter on this date in 2007, just days after its coming out party at that year’s SXSW. @lemasney had me sign up and mentioned it for the first time on our old Technology and the Arts podcast at around the 4:20 (!!!) mark of only our eighth episode, released April 4, 2007. Amazingly enough, that same episode of our “hobby” podcast featured an interview with legendary producer, engineer (Hendrix, Bowie, Beatles, Stones & many others) AND photographer Eddie Kramer...an unbelievable and ridiculously fortuitous get for our little show. I’ll put a link to it in my bio for today.
Wow...don’t remember writing this and there are some instances of some subpar writing/editing due to inexperience and likely tiredness from consecutive all-nighters, but the overall theme of my column in the Oct. 11, 1996, edition of @theridernews has certainly come to fruition...traditional media focusing on trivial nonsense just to compete with the emerging junk news and misinformation outlets popping up online...with the conclusion that the Web may not be so great, after all. Less than 25 years later, all of this led to an attempt to overturn an election and an insurrection at the Capitol. Also, I am truly sorry for the awful O.J.-Princess Di joke. That was someone in college trying to make a point about their respective pop culture statuses; not about pairing a humanitarian with a double-murderer...ugh...the cringe-factor here is at a Bret Stephens level of column-writing. Anyway, by going for shock value, I was guilty of the same thing I was writing about, which absolutely sucks.
