Episode 93: Slogging Through The Holidays turned out pretty good I think. I was in my usual foul mood before the livestream due to technical problems, but I decided to take that foul energy and be super silly. If your energy and inspiration levels have plummeted for the holidays, please know you are not alone. I explored this topic on this episode and I did not provide any solutions because sometimes we just need to stew in it for a few days or weeks.

Last week’s livestream got cut off due to poor internet and it was just an all around frustrating situation as I prepared almost all day getting ready for it. I felt like giving up on these livestreams, but upon some reflection, I know I must push onwards. I talked about the importance of try try again, in this one.

Well friends, it's been a great year with friends, travel, work and LOTS OF BEER DRINKING! So much beer drinking that it's time for me to go on the wagon for a few months and reset myself. I talked about this and played some songs on this livestream/podcast. I have a new computer and audio setup so hopefully I sounded better than ever and all technicalities went smoothly!

Does the USA have any redeeming qualities left?! I'll give my thoughts.

Episode 73: Remembering My Friend Shadowlight Part 2 Take 2

I'm not exactly sure how to say this as I'm kind of confused right now, but my great friend Jamie Shadowlight passed away this past Saturday after bravely battling cancer. She truly was one of my closest friends over the past 10 years. I really believed she was going to beat the cancer, which is probably why I'm confused, angry, guilty and sad all at once. I know she would be honored if I remembered her in my livestream/podcast, so that's what I did this Wednesday June 12 at 4pm PST. I will honored Shadowlight by sharing memories about her and showing some of the videos of us playing music together over the past 10 years.
