Okay, time to stop whatever you are doing, jump up and down, and scream Yes! Yes! Yes!



Oh. Wait. That's me screaming. Erm. Sorry. But okay, I'm a little bit excited. After five years of total insanity, three agents, many rewrites, quitting my job… Read full post »

So Eric Slick has been on tour for what seems like forever (I miss him!) with Project Object and I apologize that the You Tubes I put up last post have been removed by the psychotic "Zappa Family Trust". Anyway, I'm not wasting any more valuable time or words on… Read full post »

Dear Internet,

I am sorry but I've fallen out of love with you.

Conceived as unhappy surprise to jazz musician father and nice Jewish mother, at age seventeen I developed an uneasy rapport with my dad  because I bought him pot.  I followed him to New York City after graduation where he made a living selling cocaine to rock stars.  I… Read full post »

It's weird to see my son the drummer as jazz dude, but here it is (though he does rock out around six minutes in).
