It's difficult think of a more influential guitarist that the iconic Allan Holdsworth. He was the ultimate guitarist's guitarist, despite never being the household name that Eddie Van Halen or Hendrix were. Remembering him today on what would have been his 79th birthday. RIP Allan.

I really am not yet sure what my favorite album is, but I think I can fairly confidently say that my favorite song is Garden of Souls by Jacob Roberge. A Shout Into the Void is a close second.
Big Happy 65th Birthday to Neal Morse, one of the pillars of modern prog! You're now old enough to retire...but please don't!

First, it is the 72nd birthday of the iconic Geddy Lee! Happy Birthday to Geddy!
Second, on this date in 1974, probably his most impactful birthday present was the addition of Neil Peart to Rush!
This is truly a good day!

Well, it's that time of year! As the heat and triple-digit humidity roll into South Jersey, that's my cue to take a look back at the first half of 2025. Also, time for a little self-evaluation. So, who's on top so far, and how's my driving?
