One Of The Greatest Scenes From The Godfather

So I was watching one of my favorite movies last night, Scarface, for the 1000th time, and today I was thinking of my favorite movies.  You know the ones that come on TV and you can’t turn them off no matter how many times you’ve seen them.  Goodfellas, Shawshank Redemption, Casino, Scarface, Fast Times at [...]

Was It For This My Life I Sought?

Tomorrow night I got the 2nd row center at Phish.  I’ve been seeing these guys since 1991 but have not seen them in about 10 years.  The big venue/stadium tours weren’t for me, but I am pumped to see the boys tear it up tomorrow night.  Plus I am meeting up with a lot of [...]

Happy Birthday Jerry!

Yesterday was Jerry’s birthday – he would have been 67.  I went to see The Bridge and they played a great version of Althea.  Here’s Jerry and the boys doing it.  Check out Jerry’s shiny new custom “tiger” guitar – my favorite. Turn the volume up and enjoy!

Grateful Dead, Omni Atlanta, 3-30-94

This was my senior year of college down at Emory U. I remember this Here Comes Sunshine opener specifically – sitting in the 4th row center with my buddy Ryan. Got mail order and got lucky for this show. Jerry still rips here – I love it and wish I could be back there in [...]

What To Get Mom? How about Mom Jeans!

Yes Mother’s Day is around the corner.  Another holiday besides birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, Christmas or Hannukah to get your wife a gift.  Of course I should be telling you to buy some diamonds for your wife/mother on Mother’s Day right?  Or how about selling all of Mom’s old jewelry and giving her some cashola?  [...]
