Well friends, it's been a great year with friends, travel, work and LOTS OF BEER DRINKING! So much beer drinking that it's time for me to go on the wagon for a few months and reset myself. I talked about this and played some songs on this livestream/podcast. I have a new computer and audio setup so hopefully I sounded better than ever and all technicalities went smoothly!

Episode 73: Remembering My Friend Shadowlight Part 2 Take 2

I'm not exactly sure how to say this as I'm kind of confused right now, but my great friend Jamie Shadowlight passed away this past Saturday after bravely battling cancer. She truly was one of my closest friends over the past 10 years. I really believed she was going to beat the cancer, which is probably why I'm confused, angry, guilty and sad all at once. I know she would be honored if I remembered her in my livestream/podcast, so that's what I did this Wednesday June 12 at 4pm PST. I will h...

In this episode I gave my annual birthday speech, which this year happens to be my 47th birthday. My speech may not have been as well prepared as previous years, but the show must go.

After 7 years of traveling all over North America in my Toyota Prius, I have decided it is time I get an RV so I can have something to do my traveling properly. Namely, the RV has a bathroom and shower so I can feel like I'm part of civilized society when I'm on the road. The RV has a nice bed and plety of space for me to practice my music. The Prius has been AMAZING! I have saved so much money on fuel costs and maintenance, but the Prius is not what I envision for my life. It is really diffi...

In this episode I talked about my predictions for 2024 and how it's ok to say "Happy New Year" all month of January. NOTE: In this New Year I will broadcast every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. Going weekly was fun, but I found that I was not able to have enough time for other things that need to get done. Perhaps I will go back to every week someday, but for now I want to see where twice a month takes me. Songs 1 I saw the Light by Hank Williams (banjo) 2 Just Gettin...
