Ode to Bill Nichelmann and the Grog
One of the owners of the Grog has died and returning there last night for a gathering celebration of his life was heartfelt. Seeing a community built around a family owned business and the amount of weight and meaning that Bill brought to Newburyport MA became quickly obvious. I’m grateful that he had me play for so many years.
Thank you Bill.

CCCD: Course Corrections Compact Disc
I’m making a short run of these, the same way I did with “FuturePlaneta” and “Renegades and Healers.”
If you’d like one, email me sooner than later. They will all be signed and mailed myself.
Upside Down Jam
The Soundcloud account is back up and there’s some surprises in there, you’ll have to poke around to find them though.
You don’t need an account to like and share with soundcloud.
And of course you can find me on YouTube doing it solo but it’s way different.
City of lights
Left myself back there somewhere
In the city of lights
Will I have to return to find it again
The city of lights won’t sleep
It only dreams about what might have been
The street that leads you to her
Is the only street that you want to be on
Opened my eyes at 37 thousand feet in the sky
Ask myself why I left her side
She’s still waiting for me
On that street
The city of lights won’t sleep
It always dreams about what might have been
And the street that leads you to her
Is the only street that you want to be on
Will the street even bother to remember our names
It doesn’t matter we won’t ever be the same
And the lights will stay on while you’re dreaming again
The city of lights won’t sleep
It always dreams about what might have been
And the street that leads you to her
Is the only street that you want to be on
Left myself back there somewhere
In the city of lights
Covid be gone
The world has changed and the videos won’t stop.
Boats and music
It’s always fun to poke around through the past. And sometimes I find that I’ve missed a few things (like posting certain songs on certain platforms that people ask for)
And of course, there’s always the future, always on it’s way to us.
You don’t know what you got till it’s gone
Yesterdays blackout was telling.
Hot on the heels of a scathing whistleblowing event on 60 minutes a world of 2? billion Facebook/instagram/whatsapp users suddenly had no access to information that they unknowingly relied on. Pity. So, maybe we go back to old fashioned emails?
(have you emailed me recently) ???
Technology can’t be argued with, but it can be reckoned with.
Your phone doesn’t have to own your ass.
There is alleviation outside of the algorithm.
Ten Years Ago tonight…
I have great memories of my one and only show at Chiantis with my band.
Boston Music Circus
Reunited with bandleader Mario Perrett last night in Salem for a bit of fun and brought back “Boston Music Circus” days…
I do miss being in the supportive role with this band, singing back up vocals, don’t get a chance to do it as often as I’d like.
Dirty Guitar Clip
And I found this one…send to your guitar playing friends…
