Seems that the only traveling I find myself doing these days is either up and down the California coast.

So the last time I checked in I was off to spend a long weekend in the sunny Southern California community of Santa Barbara. The draw? Good friends, good music and good wine. Left the laptop at home and headed up the coast.
Highlight of the amazing weekend was a benefit concert paying tribute to Gram Parsons, the legendary musician [...]

Years ago I saw Pink Floyd play live at Madison Square Garden. The real Pink Floyd, that is. The band that contained all members — especially the brain child of the band, Roger Waters.
I was a teenager naive, excited and alone in the Big Apple. Sitting in excellent seats while the band performed the entire works of both the [...]
