In 1977 I bought a cassette and an album of the same music from the same musician. It was the “Celebrate Me Home” collection by Kenny Loggins. It was (and is) an exceptional project. And it helped springboard me even … Read the rest
A couple of days from now I’ll be sharing a little info about my life of total leisure. But, first, I’d like to share a short blurb on the exciting, and hard-working conveyor belt. And not just any old clunky piece … Read the rest
A river runs through it. Connect the dots. The ties that bind. And it’s a small world. However you wanna say it, there are so many interweaving threads in human life. I’d like to share a bluer than blue story … Read the rest
“One of these days, pow! To the moon, Alice!” That’s a famous line from Jackie Gleason’s character, Ralph Cramden, in the old TV show, The Honeymooners. And thank goodness that show only lasted one season. But I didn’t bring it … Read the rest
“They” called him the “Chairman of the Board.” How he got the title depends on who you ask. But there’s no denying that Frank Sinatra liked being in charge. And I was never a fan even though he sang a … Read the rest
I used to be an avid runner. And I’ve mentioned before (here on the website and in the podcast) how I ran miles and miles and miles a week. Even entered the famous Peach Tree Road Race in Atlanta, Georgia … Read the rest

Even in this ridiculous and weird time in history, dreams come true. Not all. But enough of them that it still counts when somebody says “if you work hard, you can still achieve your dreams.” But right now you might … Read the rest
I hope you’re not rockin the boat today. Because the world has enough troublemakers without you chimin’ in. And if you don’t know what I’m talkin’ about, then you probably shouldn’t even be reading this. Because you just won’t understand. … Read the rest
I know you’ve heard it. Or maybe you’ve said it yourself. “Don’t go away mad. Just go away.”And, if you say it because you wanna get on someone’s nerves, it almost always works like a charm. But here’s why I … Read the rest
Be careful…wishes might come true I talked about this about five years ago. But it’s still just as true as ever. You might be wishing for things to happen. Or not happen. And you might be wishing and hoping for … Read the rest
I captured some moments in time I’ve mentioned before how I spent a year of prolific songwriting in Nashville. It was back in 1992-93. And I was under the mistaken impression that record companies were always looking for something new. … Read the rest
A sleepy-eyed bon fide wee hours wanderer At 2:45 this morning I bumbled out of bed, as I do most every morning, and made my way into the kitchen. An issue I’ve been dealing with, for the past couple of … Read the rest
Here’s a story and a rhyme about an orange bird. Not a real orange bird. But it’s a nice story I shared quite a while ago…just not with my podcast audience. Thank you for tuning in and indulging me as … Read the rest
Sweetly When, I was about 8 to 10 years old, I can remember lying down on the soft, green grass under the warm summer sun in rural Kansas. I’d just lie there and think. And listen. And watch. Little did … Read the rest
A Whole Lot Like Me
Once upon a time back in 1981 I found a guy who was a whole lot like me. He was living in the lyrics to a song. It was a song I had just written. It was one of those … Read the rest
If it Ain’t Too Much Trouble Pardon the slang grammar, but I wrote a song back in 1987 called “If It Ain’t Too Much Trouble”. And I just found the typed lyrics I was using for a while when I … Read the rest
