Our New York Trip
Most of you who are friends on Facebook have seen some of the images we took while we were in NY this past week. These are some of the pictures I took. I’ll post more once Suzanne downloads them from her phone & camera.
Favorite Albums – Beach Boys Endless Summer
When I was 14 my grandmother bought me a drum kit for my birthday. It was a Slingerland kit with the Aztek finish. I loved that drum kit and a picture can be seen in this post. Mentioned in that post are the two albums I listened to over and over. One of those, the …
Favorite Albums – Frampton Comes Alive
This album made me want to play guitar more than any other (except maybe the first Van Halen album) because of Frampton’s melodic approach to songs.

Focus
We currently have over 200 channels of TV to watch. My SiriusXM has about 150 channels of talk, music, shows, etc. I follow about 50 blogs and blog myself in two different ones. There is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and much much more. How do we keep up with it all? How do you keep …
