Lately….a lot of people are telling me that I have a twin……
Some say I look like Andrew Garcia …. (yeah….many annoying conversations that started with ‘I didn’t know you were on American Idol!)
Some say I look like Rome from  Sublime……. Those people get a good swift punch..
My Aunt says that I have a twin where [...]

I’ve never had really bad luck with Craigslist!! And I’m super glad to say there were no problems with this guitar either!!
My drummer and I went down to Tacoma…Totally had the wrong place that we were supposed to meet this KID (couldn’t have been more than 19 years old!) got caught in the rain with [...]

My drummer Marian (very small girl) and I are going IN MY SCARY-ASS ‘DEATH’ CAR, all the way to Tacoma in rush-hour I-5 traffic, just to meet some stranger dude in a McDonald’s parking lot so that I can buy this guitar..

WHAT COULD GO WRONG??

I have been wanting a new acoustic guitar for years. But I am so into Antique stuff that I didn’t want something that looks modern… I wanted something from out of the 40’s!! Not only cos that is when they actually built good stuff….But also ‘cos it’ll look good in My Band.

This is in no particular order. I don’t even really expect anyone to read everything, but maybe if [...]

Who writes a good ‘ol fashioned ‘Fan Letter’ these days? Just my thoughts as I penned a respectful letter to a singer I have admired for a long time. Ms. Phyllis McGuire (born 1931). I found her address online and threw a letter in the mail last Friday.
Today before band practice I ran to my [...]

AWESOME! Haha!

(ps-I’m updating my blog under this post until this album comes out)
Tegan and Sara – Sainthood. Out October 27th
My favorite tracks? Well thank you for asking!
I can’t tell if i like “Arrow” or “On Directing” the best…
People are REALLY digging “The Cure”.
Does Sara sing, “Talking like a TEEN” or “Talking like a TEAM” in the [...]

I’m a WAY better musician/songwriter than I am radio personality. That’s for sure.
I’ve been in bands since I was 12. I was accepted to Berklee College of Music. I was pursued by a major record label about an ‘artist development deal’. My bands have opened for The Gossip, The Forecast, Team Dresh (and some other [...]
