"Floating on a bubble while the world goes down the drain"

*So much has changed in our lives and the World since I turned-on Hal in 2006. What has not changed is my commitment to the artists for making the music that has brought me such joy and to you for having those ears and the willingness to stretch your boundaries. I can truthfully say that I get the most artistic satisfaction producing these shows than at any time in my 45-year career. 

To have you and these musicians in the Archives daily is a dream come true.

Much love and please get vaccinated!

"All things are a part"

*I've been a fan of VDGG and Peter Hamill for decades and the new Charisma Years box has been a delight to reunite with the band that took inspiration from Robert Jemison Van de Graaff, who was born Dec. 20, 1901 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and died on Jan. 16, 1967 in my hometown of  Boston, Massachusetts. He was a physicist and inventor of the Van de Graaff generator, a type of high-voltage electrostatic generator that serves as a particle accelerator used in atomic and medical research.

That coupled with our month-long RFW Sweet 16 Birthday 

made the need for gold-plated side-dishes very obvious.

"It felt like a kiss"

* Like a Sweet 16 Kiss, this show is one to remember. Tracy, my partner in high-art and misdemeanors and I started hanging in the RFW/Dare To Be Different Studio with a delicious Rombauer Cabernet and a potent Indica blasting Sabbath's Sabotage. By the time we ended the session, 

we had built a painfully rocking addition to our coming-of age celebration. 

Musical puberty has never been so much fun!
