My neck is killing me. Last night we played our second corporate show in San Diego. We set up on a stage on the 15th floor in a large ballroom. We were told not to mention who we were playing for. I guess it really doesn’t matter, as long as we play well and they […]

My neck is killing me. Last night we played our second corporate show in San Diego. We set up on a stage on the 15th floor in a large ballroom. We were told not to mention who we were playing for. I guess it really doesn’t matter, as long as we play well and they like it. Were they lawyers? Insurance agents, like the last show? Whatever jobs they had during the day… last night they had only one job. Fall in love with me. I mean, fall in love with Blue Sky Riders. (more…)

Knuckles cracked? Check. Glasses on? Check. Okay then… let’s blog!!! We have been so caught up in finishing our second CD, that these shows crept up on us like my mother trying to burst into my room and catch me reading age inappropriate materials. (She never did. I am nothing if not cautious.) We have […]

Knuckles cracked? Check. Glasses on? Check. Okay then… let’s blog!!!

We have been so caught up in finishing our second CD, that these shows crept up on us like my mother trying to burst into my room and catch me reading age inappropriate materials. (She never did. I am nothing if not cautious.) We have three songs mixed and are in the process of diving into the other nine when… oh my gosh, we have to remember how to be rock stars! A pair of trio shows have been on our calendars for so long that we forgot they were there. (more…)

I’m lucky to be alive. We were in the studio last night in Santa Barbara, doing some prep work on the first three songs we are going to mix off of our almost completed second CD, unofficially titled, “Who Do I talk To About Getting This Year Of My Life Back?” (more…)

The Piano

My mom and dad were divorced and living apart when I was trying to make my way in Nashville; and every time I went back home to visit San Antonio, I always stayed at my mom’s.

Piano

My mom and dad were divorced and living apart when I was trying to make my way in Nashville; and every time I went back home to visit San Antonio, I always stayed at my mom’s. This was a source of contention for my dad, who couldn’t understand why I didn’t split my time and stay at his house too. I told him, “Dad, you put too much pressure on me. I’m comfortable at Mom’s. Please stop asking.” He did stop, but one day said, “Wait ‘til you see what I just got for you!” He had bought an electric piano to try to woo me over to his house.
