As promised, here is me reading some excerpts/chapters from Rick Rubin's new book 'The Creative Act: A Way of Being'

I've decided to give myself 5 years to do something with the creative skills I've developed to this point--and if I can't produce enough in that time, I'll be relegated to 2 hours max creativity time per week.

2024 has been off to a rough start for me but I'm back with a new episode--hanging out on a Friday night while I jam on the guitar a bit and talk about recent events.

From Gretsch to Charvel, and just about everything in between, in this episode I look back on some of the more impressive electric guitars I've played in the last few years.

Tavis and Jared from old school Murphysboro punk band The Disgracefuls join us to tell their story and talk about what the scene was like back when they were around. This was such a fun episode!

My friend Rosie stops by the studio to tell us about the current state of affairs in Oregon as the end of 2023 approaches!

Grab some chestnuts roasted on an open fire, and your favorite protein shake, and come chill out with me on this late-night Christmas hangout!

Life's been moving fast but I managed to sneak in a little recording time on this morning...

I'm on the porch again harvesting bean seeds....

Hey everyone! I've been busy as heck with work, but here's an episode I recorded while harvesting some bean seeds from the 2023 growing season.
