I've noticed how social media leverages controversy to generate attantion, so let's try out some fightin words!

Songwriters better than Bob Dylan. I'll start: Tom Petty.

Who else?

UPDATE: Tony Ford is the only one who struggles with this.

Just for the fun of it, I decided to see if I could come up with 100 records from my collection that I truly adore without looking at my shelves. I hit 100 pretty easily, and I regret that I hit my target before including lots of great records, but these were the first 100 that came to mind as favorite albums. When I alphabetized the list, it turns out I was only missing artists for I, U, and X. Sorry to Isaac Hayes and Uriah Heep... I don't think I have a single record from an X-named artist.

Music lesson tonight is ON, but there will be a rehearsal happening simultaneously in the studio.

Bring your questions, we will be working on theory and aural skills rather than technique tonight!

The wonderful Victor Johnson came by and tuned my piano beautifully a few days ago. He also showed me how to adjust the action to make it ideal- she’s sounding great!
