Caught the Counting Crows on Paladia in HD the other night. They performed their newest album track by track. Funny thing was that it sounded better live on tv than it does on the actual record through my headphones. I’ll never forget the time when my friend Diane (aka Numbnuts) and I saw them in [...]

Name That Tune
Posted in Emma, Music on February 23, 2010 | 3 Comments »
With Lito, my new caregiver, and the Jude, my mom, as witnesses, Emma was able to Name That Tune — ‘Sexy Eyes’ by Dr Hook — in TWO notes. Imagine what life would be like if Dr Hook actually wrote prescriptions. Oh yeah, all right.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been six years since La Entrada’s first faculty super-group hit the stage of the school talent show in 2004 to perform ‘It’s a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock n Roll’ for one-time only. These days, Colin is an American citizen, Darrell, Mike, and I [...]
Last Call
Posted in Emma, Music on September 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Last call at our house is around 8:30 pm every night. That’s the time when Emma emerges from her room dressed in her super-comf jammies, feeling quite fresh after her evening bath, and looking for that one final bottle of warm milk. Last call. Emma holds her own bottle as she reclines on my lap. [...]
You’re Welcome

Since my arms lack the strength to lift her and my legs are no longer strong enough to chase after her, I have to be creative in the ways that I can play and bond with my baby girl Emma. One of our most favorite activities is to watch Youtube videos together. She sits calmly [...]
You’re Gonna Miss This
Posted in Memories, Music on June 3, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Last night around 9 PM, I was lying in bed, legs outstretched and crossed at the feet, right hand resting comfortably between the back of my head and the pillow, tiny white earbud headphones placed snugly in my ears as I listened to the sounds emanating from my metallic blue iPod Shuffle. As usual, my [...]
NINJA Night at Shoreline

Last Friday evening, my buddy Dooms and I attended the Nine Inch Nails / Jane’s Addiction show at Shoreline in Mountain View. While it should be noted that yours truly did not ingest any “outside food” himself, there was certainly no shortage of neighboring concert-goers who chose to partake in the more traditional form of [...]
Britney Spears Versus Clem Snide

The World’s First Compare and Contrast Concert Review of Britney Spears and Clem Snide Versus During a whirlwind two-week period in the month of April, I had the rather unique privilege of attending live performances by two distinctly different recording artists on the road in America in support of their latest musical releases. Clem [...]
Playing for Change

I am not a big fan of the forward. Typically, if I spy the letters FWD in or around the subject line of an email I’ve received, the likelihood that I will even read the message is about on par with the Giants’ chances of winning the World Series this year: Sure, it could happen, [...]
Everything Old is New Again

When it comes to choosing my music for an acupuncture session, I take the job very seriously. The right choice can be positively inspirational (Steve Miller Band’s Greatest Hits or KFOG’s Live from the Archives) but the wrong CD selection spells absolute disaster (The Cult’s Electric). A good decision enhances a session whereas a bad [...]
