So, is it a good thing if your vocal teacher can't tell you what your range is? She tried to pin it down and at first said, well, you are a baritone, but then, I kept hitting higher notes and then said, maybe you're a tenor... and then went lower and said, no, maybe bass baritone....

Color me confused.

Take care all.

I love you Kristin!

Ever been so busy with things that you don't even have time to just sit down and veg for a while? That's been me for the last few months. Bouncing around from this to that, from gig to show to class to date to sleep, rinse and repeat. Yet, I think it's vitally important to really just take some time off and relax for a little bit. Hence, an new ( Read more... )

Nothing beats the NYC subway late at night for surreal moments. As there usually are, tonight a fellow was wandering up and down the cars, playing a little drum. Between stops he'd move from car to car and play, then when the train would get to a stop, he'd look for money from people impressed that he could actually play drums AND beg for change (I ( Read more... )

Another Super Bowl successfully dodged, as I hung out with wonderful people and enjoyed life away from the intense media crush and overblown hype that is... a football game. When you think about it, if we, as a society, spent half the money and resources that we do on this event, between tickets, commercials, etc, etc, then all of our troops in ( Read more... )

Oh, what tangled webs we all weave, to quote William Shakespeare and how apropos for my own life at the moment. In these last few weeks alone, I've been kicked out of my college, nearly kicked out of another for almost starting a riot, nearly hired for a TV show and began to speak with a therapist and yet, I feel as if I'm back at square one.

Happy new year everyone. I hope the holiday season found you all well and in good spirits, surrounded by your loved ones. My holiday was nice and quiet until, with the passing of Former President Gerald Ford, I was hired by CBS to go down and help with their coverage of the funeral process as it passed through Washington DC. What follows are the ( Read more... )

As you get older, you notice a lot more often how things seem to fall into place or how they are entirely random and only SEEM to have fallen into place. Some might call it karma or fate or just coincidence. I'm not sure what camp I fall into myself, but I do feel that everything happens for some sort of reason, whether it's to give you the ( Read more... )

It's funny, looking back at the very last entry I made, well, the last full length entry, and it seems like a lifetime ago when in reality it's only been a few months. There's a large part of me that feels like I completely different person from that point, and yet, I can still recall minute details as if it happened. Almost as if I can observe it ( Read more... )
