Cookin' on the Fly - Episode 1 with CMG

Cookin' on the Fly with CMG is the first episode of my cooking show. I will be having celebrity chefs appear on the show to prepare one of their favorite quick meals. Carlos was amazing and I'm grateful to him for being the pilot actor. If anyone would like to be in any upcoming shows, let me know, let's do this, let's make amazing food!

Maybe it's the fact that I lived in Germany for a few months in a past life, but I just love this song. Not the English version, not the King James Version. Enjoy it with me.

CMG & We are the Night...Part 1

The recording of the album has begun yet again at my parents' house. The good vibrations in the air are intoxicating. Brian Brunac laid down wonderful drum tracks, while David J. recorded and produced like the high-paid professional he is. The great thing about the album is that along with the music, there will be at least 2 projected films documenting its creation. Talk about an injection of hype.

Deep Inside the Autopiano

The Autopiano at my parents' house has been a staple in the home for 15 years. It was passed on to us by family friends. They had the piano for at least another 40 years. Originally it was a player piano, having the capability to automatically play songs from a script. That feature was taken out long before we came to own the beast.
Now, the piano is used mostly by me to learn, play and hopefully record. The keys are beat down and it takes a lot of muscle to get quality sound out of it. There are a couple of dead keys, a broken string and a very faded look to the keyboard itself.
The top left photo is from the top lid of the beast. As you can see, royalty approves.

Day One

I had an old blog before, but how am I supposed to know all of the old info? We're talking 3 or 4 years ago. So here is to trying promote fun, music, soccer and bad ideas.
