Had a great time getting out the notepad and writing two reviews for the Gilmore Keyboard festival. I’ve always enjoyed Classical music and have attended the Gilmore over the years. It’s quite the different experience to listen intently to review. Enough talk about the talk, here are the
I was surprised when I got an e-mail Friday night that Flickr had been acquired by Smugmug. Flickr was the premiere photo community for years but had diminished greatly when Yahoo purchased it. I had not used the service since Yahoo purchased it and news about the company’s security

A lot of people have told me they don’t like The Last Jedi because it doesn’t feel like a “Star Wars” film. And those who I’ve asked all have different reasons: the comedy, the pacing, Leia’s force powers, the sheer amount of characters and information given

I have a new wallet set up that I am very happy about. The problem I've had over the years with my wallet and keys is misplacing them. I've elieviated this, in part, by having a bowl near my door where they go whenever I get
Ann Arbor was the fifth King Crimson concert I’ve attended this year, and it left me as excited as the first time that I saw them. It’s been amazing to see their songs progress even just from Washington DC a few weeks ago. Level 5, Easy Money and

To whom it may concern, We’re days away from the trade deadline and my favorite baseball team the Detroit Tigers are likely to be selling. Now you may not be a baseball fan, so I’d like to explain why I might suddenly erupt in fits of rage and

King Crimson ruins everything. I saw them twice this summer on tour, in Chicago and Minneapolis. The two shows blew my mind. The “eight-headed beast” – with three drummers up front – played the loudest, and most quiet show I’ve ever seen. Songs that I had heard thousands of times sounded
