A New Song for Mother’s Day…Next Year
A belated Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms!
Being a dad now, I understand the challenges of parenthood. *Phew* My absence from my own blog is somewhat testament to that. On a positive note, I’m closer to having finished writing a new song called “In 9 Months”. It’s kind of a lullabye of promises to [...]
GarageSpin.com has NOT Been Sold
Just to set the record straight and clear the air, I did not sell GarageSpin.com, and do not plan on ditching the music industry. (Happy belated April Fools!) Nor do I think DIY pundits are leaches feeding off musicians’ dreams — or at least, most of them aren’t. ;) ) I follow and fan all the [...]
GarageSpin.com for Sale
I’ve grown tired of the music business. Social media is hype. DIY music pundits are self-help bullshit artists leeching off the dreams of hopeless musicians and bands. And my music kinda sucks.
Who wants GarageSpin.com? I’ll sell it to the highest bidder, along with any copyrights associated with my 2-song catalog.

Got Some Luv from Mashable’s Free Music Monday
Mashable posted “Spinning Daydream” in its weekly music series, “Free Music Monday: 10 Free Downloads for Your Collection“. It’s #10 of 10 songs chosen by Barb Dybwad.

Song Pages Now Have Guitar Tabs - Record a Cover & I’ll Post It
I finally got around to updating my song page templates to include guitar tabs, background info, and recording gear used. If you record yourself playing a song, let me know and I’ll post the audio or video here. (Which reminds me, I need to create remixable audio clips of my vocals and instrumentals…)
I’ve received a [...]
Added Music to AmieStreet.com - Need Your Help
I recently uploaded my songs “Spinning Daydream” and “20/20 Foresight” to AmieStreet.com, a site that prices tracks based on demand.
What does that mean? Well, because my songs are new on the site, they start out free. As more music fans download the song, the songs’ prices will begin to incrementally increase. (I actually wrote about [...]
Pics from the Weekend: Rapple and Crappie Derby
I am easily amused by things I see while on long trips…I suppose it’s out of the need to find joy in micro-moments when you’re waiting for time to pass, as the snowy landscape before you replaces the one in your rear view mirror.
Amusing microscene #1: Rapple Gumballs
Hermaphroditic apple-raspberry creatures busting rhymes — you can’t [...]
