New Years Weekend 2022’s Happenings
After a fun-filled Christmas weekend at Badin Inn, my wife Nancee and I decided to treat ourselves to another weekend getaway, this time near Concord Mills. We stayed at the Embassy Suites, a hotel that has a unique design with a central open column that allows you to look down to the ground floor from […]
Goodbye Bill
This is a sad post unfortunately and I typically keep this sort of thing to myself but I figured since so many of you also knew Bill and may not be aware, I should share. I was so sorry to learn that my best friend from high school, Bill Hermann, sadly passed away about a […]
The Podcast is Back
Feeling back in the creative flow has inspired me to start a personal podcast in addition to the weekly Vlog videos. It will include video which is a bit of extra work but at least it will capture my aging visage as I grow older. Ha! Check it out here. The plan is to eventually […]
Gaslit Again
I tell you what, I have this one acquaintance in my musical world who really is, just by his nature a gas light specialist. I’ve known him since high school and I accept who and what he is. I try to maintain a friendship with him which at times is not easy. I accept him. […]
Goodbye Frosty A.K.A. Mr. Handsome
I’ll post more about this when the pain subsides. Yesterday, Mr Frosty flopped down beside the car as it backed out and was tragically killed. He was without exception my favorite cat we’ve ever had. He was just the perfect pet and so incredibly beautiful. The 3 years we had him, he was just so […]
Lynn Chandler R.I.P.
Last night around 1:04 am, Lynn Chandler, my wife’s mother passed away. She was just a few months shy of her 82nd birthday. I wanted to take a brief moment to acknowledge her life and contribution to my own little family here for posterity.
North Myrtle Beach Get Away Live Blog
We arrived late on the evening of the 23rd and had a full day of beach combing, resting up, massages, eating out and Netflix on the 24th, bringing us to this, our second full day of the February 2022 North Myrtle Beach Get-Away. I’d go into greater detail but why bother when you can watch […]
BMF Plays Loafers and Legends
Our first real gig is in the books as we laid down about 2 hours of acoustic rock at Loafers and Legends in Badin last night. As fate would have I, it turned really cold that evening and the normal customers did not seem to be out in force, however at least 15 family and […]
Annual Albemarle Nutrition Anniversary Party
What can I possibly say about January 29th to fully express how truly epic of a day it was? I was out the door around 7:30 to explore the new dusting of snow and I took my camera shooting 4 HDRI image cycles before Nancee and Liam even hit the ground. While it can annoy […]
An Actual Band
Re Zak McClendon, ‘we’ve kind of moved into real band territory. I say this because that magical fourth member with enough ability and most importantly the passion to move it forward seems to be something Zak has brought to the table. He literally brought 4 spectators to our first informal acoustic show and they were […]
