Adventure!

Convention Center, HO! Or; Convention Center HO!

Posted on September 7, 2012 by

Saturday’s the Baltimore Comic-Con.  Took me a while to get in ‘in the mood’ for it. Normally, I’m all about the Comic-Con.  I love the ‘Artist’s Alley.’  Not the ‘real’ Artist’s Alley, which is slam-full of Guys Of Whom You … Continue reading →

Hello, Highlandtown!

Posted on August 15, 2012 by

So I’ve finally got the deets on my Highlandtown gig this Saturday.  I’m playing after 7.  Last year, I was ‘the only guy they could get,’ so I went on absurdly early.  But hey, that was the first ‘outdoor’ gig … Continue reading →

I’ve been meaning to write for months, but I’ve been busy.  Stupid busy since mid-June. In mid-June, I played a solo gig at an outdoor festival.  My son had just had his tonsils taken out and came home with the … Continue reading →

WordPress is pretty funny, showing me what search terms people use to stumble their way over to the Hive of the Hee-Hawg.  I mean, this is how I know that noted author and musical transcriptionist Ralph Agresta’s DUI monitor is … Continue reading →
