We are the exceptions, and not the Rule.
According to a former professor of mine, there are two types of people, those that have kids, and those that don’t know shit. I, myself, fall into the former category. I am the father of an amazing and beautiful four-year-old little girl and she has brought more joy, success and happiness to me than any…

“I got a rock.”
As some of you have noticed, blogging hasn’t been at the top of my priorities of late. Holidays, family, and the usual daily grind have been occupying a lot of my time. As if all that weren’t enough, I also turned thirty this past weekend. So my “free time” has been filled with a lot…

Salem Psalms: Yesterday’s Tomorrow
Amond Jackson, has been a friend and collaborator for a couple years now. His work ethic is unmatched by all but his own appetite for knowledge. He tinkers, he plays, he builds, engineers, and composes works-his studio is indicative of ingenious improvisation both technically and musically. He does all this and more on a daily…
