Reason Number 107 why I love Country music
It's not just that Country -- at least god old mainline Country -- is classic blue eyed soul. It's that it's so much fun -- titles, lyrics, all that just beg for perpetual quotations, much like good movie scripts. I have a lot of favorite titles, such as, "I gave her the ring and she gave me the...

Feels like the first time...
I remember my first time. It was just like yesterday. No, more like Thursday, actually. That’s when it finally happened. It’s one of those things that gets built up in a man’s head for so long that eventually, he wonders if it is ever going to happen, and if it is indeed the stuff dreams from which...

I need a new toy...
It's been awhile since I have treated myself. Expenses of every day life tend to make one have to engage in annoying delays of gratification.

Can't get it out of my head...
By the time you finish reading this, you may very well want to check into the nearest padded hotel, if not murder me in my sleep. It’s time once again to exorcize a few disco demons and the only way to do that is to write about them. Then I can go to sleep, confident that while I still have them, at...

On the eve of a great gig...
So the Turn Sgnals have added a new wean to our arsenal: A new P.A. system. Yamaha, 500 watts, two fifteen inch speakers that can handle a peak load of 800 watts a side. It's not that we are loud; we're an acoustic duo. But tomorrow night is the first of a number of gigs at a beach front bar on the...

The King is Gone
One of my all time favorite George Jones songs is the classic "The King is Gone." Not too long ago, right here at Cool World Studios, also known as my garage, we recorded our tribute to George, Elvis, and Fred. If you're looking for a little entertainment, check it out:...
