About Me

So I'm not 20 years old anymore but I still feel 20. In fact, I've been feeling 20 pretty much since I was 20. I got involved heavily in music as a teenager and it's still one of the great joys around which my life centers (the other being my family, of course, and my very select group of friends).

I still play in the band I was heavily involved in during the 8T's... The Mod Fun . In fact, since reuniting in 2004 we've gotten 18 live gigs, 2 radio performances, a retrospective TV show, and a new double-lentgh CD under our belts. We've appeared in places as far off as Chicago and Nashville as well as close to home in Baltimore, Philadelphia and, of course, NYC and NJ.

Now I focus most of my [musical] energies on recording and jamming with my friends in The Mod Fun...although I also write and record some of my own original music. There could also be another new release on the horizon for the re-energized Mod Fun...stay tuned, eh?

Downsizing

After three and a half years the time has finally come for me to permanently dismantle the project studio in my basement.  I did go through this once before - about two years ago - but that was a...

27 years might as well be 27 minutes

I can remember it as though it just happened...watching the news on the little black & white TV in my father's kitchen and being numb when I heard that John Lennon had been shot.  I didn't go...

The new toy

Yep...finally went out and got myself the J bass I'd wanted.  After having sold my precision and then blowing the money on a night out with my lovely wife, I really wanted to get this upgrade bef...

Gearing Up

Got the day off today - one of several Monday vacation days I've taken recently.  In fact, I haven't worked on a Monday since the middle of last month.  So, I have a chance to take advantage...

It's this Friday...WOW!!!

I can't believe how quickly the time has gone.  It seems like yesterday that an idea was formulated into a plan...namely, to play at the legendary CBGB once more before they close up in October. ...

More Irony

It says "Life" under today's category heading...but it might just as well say "Music"...not only because the subject of music will creep into this writing somewhere but also because so much of my life...

Green Day - The Irony

My eldest daughter, who will be 18 in a matter of weeks, can't abide Green Day and she's totally willing to remind anyone who'll listen just how much she can't stand them.  I applaud her for stan...
