This week I ramble about my bum knee, hospitals, meditation, my own personal aversion anti-depressants, accessing your whole brain, and just slowing the whole thing down. this one went long, but for me it felt like it passed in an instant.

This week I ramble about the importance of being present. Of being here in the now. There is no past and there is no future.there is only the now, so make the most of it. And the age old importance finding something to do that puts you in service to others. Whether that's booking shows for them to play and / or enjoy, or being a bartender and helping a wonderful woman with her little tavern out in the middle of nowhere! Or just being a good friend to the people you love, and who love you back!

This week I ramble how life isn't supposed to be a straight line. Curveballs, hills, peaks, valleys Those are the things that make life worth living. After being a successful concert promoter for 23 years, and working in the rock n roll biz for 35 years, I finally admit to myself, and by extension to the listeners, that Im over it and don't want to do it anymore. And about how OK that all is. 

This week I ramble some ore about Yellow Pine. My new home away from home, and maybe (hopefully?) my future full time home. Its 52 miles from Mccall down a dusty dirt road and it's deep in the heart of nowhere, populated with a cast of kooky characters, and now they've got me to contend with behind he bar at the World Famous Yellow Pine Tavern!
