I traveled to Vega$ last week, and was reminded of something that, increasingly, doesn’t make sense to me. Granted, I don’t travel as often as I used to, so I’m counting on hearing from people who travel more often to explain why it makes sense for them to bring their ...
I’m very excited to have met listener David Skinner through The River’s facebook page, because he is sharing some real treasures with me that he is allowing me to pass along to you! David is a cartoonist, and in the ‘70s and ‘80s he worked for national music magazines. He’s ...
I pretty much have zero interest in the Superbowl this year. I don’t care about either of the teams. But I surely won’t be rooting for The Ravens because I cannot stand watching Ray Lewis sob and throw himself on the ground in his exaggerated dramatics over this being his ...
Lynyrd Skynyrd has surely been struck with more than their share of tragedy over the years – it’s simply stunning how many of their members have passed since this relatively young rock band’s inception. I’d like to take a moment to remember Allen Collins. Guitarist Larkin Allen Collins Jr. was ...
National news was abuzz last night that Oprah had finished her much-publicized- already interview with Lance Armstrong that will air on her OWN network Thursday night. Are you planning to watch?

Sharing a couple more of my favorite things from over the holidays… We saw Le Miserables at the Atlantic Station movie theaters Christmas weekend. What a movie!

Ed was one of my absolute favorites in the music business. A true gentleman with an incredible ear for musical sound. Ed toured and worked with some of the biggest and best in the industry. I don't think there's a person alive who knew this man and didn't like him -- ...
