Beer exists. It’s proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. At least that’s how I like to think of it. And if I’m right about that, Greenville Beer Exchange is some kind of sanctuary. Kinda. If you’ve ever struggled to find the right gift for a guy, it must have been before [...]
View PostThe sun is just coming up and the athletes are already here. Some are getting their body markings, some are setting up their bikes in the transition area and some are lining up for the swim. Are they elite athletes from all over the world? No, they are the kids in your neighborhood. For the [...]
View PostAs a whole it seems bands are finally embracing technology with Soundcloud, Bandcamp, Facebook and Twitter etc. But perhaps the most overlooked thing still is the most basic: a good picture. I was thinking about this earlier today, when updating the front page of The Radio Room site. If you notice there seems to be [...]
View PostBeing in Downtown Greenville, I can find live music every night of the week, often for free. But sometimes you have to get out of town for a really good show. I recently bought a new car, and last week I took it on a road trip with a friend for a killer rock [...]

I remember being about 14 years old when I first heard the word, “Woodstock”. My father, who was a young man in the late 60’s, shared story after story with me about what it was like to live in that decade. I loved to hear about my father’s time in Germany. The incredible concerts he attended [...]
View PostI’m an optimist, a reluctant one at best, but neverless an optimist. Also a hopeless romantic, but alas, I’ll leave that for another blog. I know it seems kind of foolish at times, but I believe we can all be who/what we want to be still. It is REALLY easy to give up, to sit [...]

I dropped by the see the young lads in The Bent Strings today as they prepped for a two day intense recording session at SitNSpin Recording Studio. I’ve met these guys a couple of times and heard them play a few gigs as well. If there is a nicer group out there – [...]
