Quarantine, day…um, I don’t remember: I commented briefly over the weekend, mostly to vent, with polite sorrow, regarding my gigs getting canceled for May. Things will come back around, later rather than sooner, and I, and my many, many musical friends (why not check out some of my many talented friends in the “play list” […]

Well, in the last hour or two we just got word that ConCarolinas is canceled for the year. There will be some online content, of course, but I won’t be in Charlotte rocking the place with my friends at the end of May. Also, as I suspected, but confirmed today, my May 9 show at […]

Given that so many of us who are musicians are finding ourselves without places to play in this age of social distancing and pandemics and all, after some sort of clandestine testing earlier this week, I shall be doing my own streaming show on Saturday afternoon at 4pm on Facebook Live: I’m calling it Chuck […]

So, for the most part, I practiced social distancing this weekend, spending most of Saturday and Sunday alone in my car with audiobooks traveling I-95. Of course, at the mid-point of my 600 mile highway odyssey, I spent a few hours making music with a small group of friends in St. Matthews, South Carolina at […]

That title up there kind of says it all about where the hell the mid-Atlantic is right now. As I write this, it hasn’t hit us yet, but I expect we’ll get something; not much, of course (at least to my grew-up-in-the-northeast perspective), but two inches is enough to shut this metropolitan area down. I’m […]

This week, I tell ya. It’s bad enough that I haven’t see the sun since Saturday, and then only from the car. Ridiculous number of phone calls with bureaucrats convinced their particular “prestigious” geographic location gives them license to skirt policy and procedures (fuck them, btw). People needing things and being annoyingly persistent about it […]

22 Jan
Marscon is, without question, always a great time for me. It’s a chance to see friends, make music, and try to shake off the stresses of mundane life for the weekend. This year was no different, though moreso than in other years, it was definitely a working vacation, with me playing seven(!) shows, in several […]

I’ll be entirely honest, since last friday, it’s been a hell of a lot of week, for a number of reasons which I won’t burden you all with, but I’ve been kind of on edge and in a low-grade threat posture all week; it’s been tough to relax and let go. Taking Friday off to […]

As you see above, I am all over the place at Marscon next weekend. It’s going to be fun, but it’s going to be tiring, being, as I am increasingly known, “The Guy In Every Band™”!

As I write this, we’re a little more than 24 hours to go until we move into 2020. A change in year. A change in decade. All that, plus a Presidential election and such. 2019, stressful as it’s been in some cases, has been surprisingly productive and successful for me. Sure, my day job continues […]
