John Mayer went to a place where I go on a frequent basis… all alone with my guitar and voice. Now, I really am working on having the same kind of mad soloing skills he does, but for now, I’m grateful to accompany myself and have the opportunity to make my living playing and sharing […]

7 Days Sandy Beaches Cruises
This past week, we took an adventure with my Brother-in-law and his girlfriend on the Nieuw Amersterdam, a Holland America ship, as a private charter through Sandy Beaches Cruises. Since I’ve worked for Princess, we have not been back out to sea and this was an excellent way to go about getting our sea legs […]
Les Miserables at the Fisher Theater
Thursday, January 5, 2023, Jake went to his first production of Les Miserables, the adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel. It was my second time seeing it live. The first time was in the 1990’s. Thank you to my high school choir director for being so brave by taking a group of us down state […]
Henry Kapono / Johnny Valentine the Royal Kona Resort Kailua Big Island Hawaii
So while we were on the Big Island we spent a bit more time in Kailua / Kona down by the ocean and also in town in search of live music. Since the pandemic regulations relaxed a lot of people are reopened for business and the tourists are back out for fun in the sun. […]
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. at the Music Hall (Detroit)
I was excited to think about a retrospective of Aretha Franklin‘s life and career and to see it in her hometown of Detroit. We all love and respect her so much no matter her pitfalls or things she did in her life that people may not have a greed with. She left a legacy of […]
Lizzo at LCA – It’s about damn time!
Ok, for those of you living under a rock, there is this amazing woman changing the face of entertainment one single, one record, one action at a time. It’s obvious why people love her, she is preaching one hell of an amazing set of self love. Her songs speak to everyone about some real world […]
Panic at the Disco, Marina (and the Diamonds) at Little Ceasars Arena
Oh, the freaking singing last night. Both of these acts feature power house singers. Thank you to my music students for picking such great acts to emulate. Over the last few years, several of my voice/music students have brought a variety of songs by both Panic at the Disco and Marina and the Diamonds to […]
Sammy Hagar & George Thoroughgood at Pine Knob
My Grandma always says, “If you can’t say anything nice about someone, best not say anything at all
Alicia Keys at Freedom Hill Amphitheater (Michigan Lottery)
Freedom Hill is the smaller outdoor park in Sterling Heights, or maybe that’s Utica out there in the Metro Detroit Suburbs. It’s off Big Beaver, aka 16 mile road and they have a large gravel parking area behind the venue that wraps around for acres. Of course, we have to park our cars somewhere. Interesting […]
Thundercat, the Strokes & the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Comerica Park
This is the first large stadium show I’ve been to since before the Pandemic. To be honest, we usually don’t go to the biggest shows anymore as we’ve seen the acts in other venues or just don’t want to deal with the crowds. This event was a blast and totally worth being around so many […]
