Friendly Fabulous Fun at the Phoenix Cafe'!!!

Our show at the Phoenix Cafe' was a success! Well, at least in our own fragile minds!
The place had a fairly decent PA system, but what intrigued me most was the stash of cool vintage equipment they had laying around!




The cafe' also serves as a show place for many visual artist's work! It is unbelievable how much talent there is out there. These are only a few of the pieces of art they had for sale. They had a lot of quality drawings, paintings, and charcoal works.
The people that showed up for the open mic all sounded good! I wish I would have snapped more photos of the performers that played!

 We got a couple leads on gigs last night as well. We haven't finalized them yet, but we will announce them once we know for sure!

 Our next gig is this weekend, in Dryden Michigan. We are playing a private party, and Pete said there will be a lot of bikers there. I'll make sure to wear my Lance Armstrong outfit!

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.

In one such interview, all of my answers were omitted, and I heard from the other band members the music journalist got mad because I didn't take the interview seriously enough.

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
