How I got into the band Chicago
It almost seems like yesterday… I guess that’s what happens when an event is so profound it can almost seem suspended in time. I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on this incredible event in my life, that has consequently created many more incredible events… I’ve been archiving a LOT over the last several years and…
Shotgun Tom Kelly
I’ve been taking an extremely long walk down memory lane lately… some people always say they don’t look back… they don’t get nostalgic… makes them melancholy. That’s not the type of looking back I’m talking about… the more I study personal development the more I keep hearing how important it is to pause……….. and reflect.…
Make My Day
So I woke up this morning to get ready to go home after a very long year of touring. Let me tell you a few things I did to prepare… one, I had the flight booked for around noon and that would still give me just about 6 hours total of sleep. We played a…

Rockstars Road To Fitness
You know… I stumbled back into fitness back in 2008… I’ve written so much on it in the past I won’t go over the details in this post… I’ll make my other writings about it, the journey, photos, videos, etc. in a separate category… but for now… just want to share what’s happening with me…

Our 2014 Summer Tour with REO
Ok, I’ve said it a million times before… I never planned… and I can’t say I wasn’t a believer… I really didn’t think that much about it… but if asked, I’d probably have told you my opinion… all of that hocus pocus stuff of *thinking* about what you want… and it’ll happen… (Law of attraction,…
Joe Sample
I’m writing this on September 13, 2014. After I got done with my concert last night I got on the bus and Wally Reyes said, “Joe Sample died”. I saw in Wally’s face how deeply hurt he was. He worked a lot with Joe. So did Lou… so our bus had a very somber tone…
All I Ever Wanted To Be…
All I ever wanted to be was a bass player. My father is a bass player… one of the best that ever lived. He was Elvis Presley’s bass player from 1969 until Elvis died. He also was the bass player on “The Doors” L.A. Woman Album. Yup, “Riders On The Storm”, “Don’t You Love Her…
