the magic word

Hello people,

Well tomorrow is the show with HIT SOCIETY at the 8 ball tomrrow. I am very much looking forward to it! We had practice on Sunday, and it sounded pretty dang good. I can't wait to play with Koji and Tom (the cool drummer guy)!

The show is also going to be filmed, so I have to be on my best behavior. I practiced a ton this week. Everyone knows that practice is the magic word! No, the magic word isn't please, it is practice. 

I am now struggling to be a non-smoker. I haven't smoked since Monday! Holy crap. Sometimes it is very hard for me, but once the initial craving wears off, I am pretty good. I sure won't miss smelling like cigarrettes. I hope I can keep this up. This is the longest I have gone in 2 years without smoking! 

I have to admit, yesterday when I watched this video it made me want to smoke!


Little Richard obviously knows, the secret. The secret magic word is practice. 

Practice is the Key to Success-----

My voice is being silenced by the liberal media

Some people may be aware that a group I perform in, the Ill Itches, will be having a record release this Friday at the Marble bar here in Detroit.

It was partly this incident with this interview that inspired me to start writing my own blog again. I really meant no ill-will with my answers to these questions. I just felt like the questions were "leading questions". You know what I'm talking about, questions where the interviewer is really looking for a specific response from the subject. I know the interviewer wanted me to get all sentimental and retrospective ab...

That time I bought a Guitar for $1 at Guitar Center

Image
When I had just graduated high school, I was still working my job at a grocery store. I made enough money to go guitar shopping. I used to drive from rural Lenawee county to Toledo OH to get to Guitar Center. One day I heard a radio ad for a Guitar Center Labor Day Sale on September 5th, 2005. At this point in my life, Guitar Center was something I had only recently discovered. This ad was extra special... the loud demanding voice on the radio ad claimed Guitar Center was going to be selling guitars for just $1! The night before the sale, I drove down to the Guitar Center and arrived at about 10:30 pm. I began waiting at the front door of the business. I remember texting some of my friends from the grocery store I worked at, they ended up joining me about an hour later. Then, two other small town guys that went to my high school showed up randomly. The first 6 or 7 people in line, (me being first of course) were all from Lenawee county! I thought this was sort of funny because we a...
