While I'm a lot more comfortable on the page than the stage, occasionally I do find myself there.

It would be ever so nice if no one paid the slightest bit of attention to anything Bill Maher says.
You may say I'm a dreamer -- but I'm not the only one.

Hard news today, Sugar Hill Records founder Barry Poss has died at age 79. Truly, one of the finest music-industry folks I've ever met. You can tell how much I thought of Barry by how often I quoted him (a lot). I'll miss him terribly.

Word to bsky.app/profile/dsha... -- I've been working on a story updating the cast of the 74-75 video 50 years after graduation. That will be in the June issue of Walter magazine.

Attention, anyone in the vicinity of Durham, NC -- come on out to the main Durham public library on Roxboro Road, 3pm today (Saturday, 4/12/2025) for a cool program about North Carolina music. I'll have buttons to give away, and even books to sell!

And look what just showed up in the mail, a few copies of the book we'll be talking about (and selling, I hope!).

Somehow, it's actually gone up a good bit today (so far, anyway). Nothing makes any sense at all anymore.

Happy Tariff Day, to those who celebrate -- and if that's you, well, you're an idiot.

Those are the 3 I am aware of. A few others seem to be off the radar, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are more.
