Remembering Jeff Beck [Music]

Posted on 2023-01-17 by RB

I’m embarrassed to admit, up until I was 19 or 20 years old, the only Jeff Beck song I knew was “Freeway Jam“, a great instrumental to listen to when cruising on the highway. However, I was lucky enough to stumble upon his solo album, Blow by Blow, in a used record shop one day….

The Pros and Cons of Isolation [Creativity]

Posted on 2021-10-282021-10-28 by RB

It’s been nearly two years since the initial COVID lockdown here in the US. My previous employer sent me home to work March of 2020, and I only returned to the office for a couple of months earlier this year. I’m still working remote, home alone all day Monday through Friday, pounding out content at…

Another Music Moment – Jeff Beck [Music]

Posted on 2021-10-222021-10-22 by RB

I’ve had a busy week and didn’t have time to work on all my projects, so for today I thought it would be fun to share another musician who both entertains and inspires me. Jeff Beck has a storied history as a guitarist. He played with the Yardbirds, the Jeff Beck Group, Rod Stewart, and…

Music Moment – Little Boy Blues [Music]

Posted on 2021-10-082021-10-08 by RB

For this Music Moment, I thought I’d share an instrumental song that’s always been a favorite of mine. Well, at least since high school. The song, “Little Boy Blues”, was written and performed by the Canadian rock trio, Triumph. It was the final song on their 1984 album, Thunder Seven. The band played an interesting…

Making Mushrooms [Cooking]

Posted on 2021-09-15 by RB

So my partner has been on a mushroom kick lately. I think it started when she happened upon this YouTube channel. I was also pulled in after watching a few of their videos. I’ve always enjoyed mushrooms, incorporate them into a few of my dishes, but I really don’t know much about them. White button,…

Music Moment – Elderly Woman Behind the Counter…[Music]

Posted on 2021-08-16 by RB

As one of the main bands to bring the early 90s Seattle sound – aka Grunge – to the mainstream, Pearl Jam has always been a constant member of my many playlists. Their sound is unique, recognizable, and their songs always feel as if they’re painting a mood or telling a story. One of my…

Music Moment – Year of the Cat [Music]

Posted on 2021-07-20 by RB

If you’ve read a few of my other Music Moment posts, you know that I love story songs. You know, where the lyrics meld with the music to tell a story. Most songs are about conveying a feeling, an emotion, or setting a mood, which is fine, but I guess it’s the storyteller in me…

Music Moment – After the Gold Rush [Music]

Posted on 2021-05-312021-06-03 by RB

One of my favorite singer/songwriters is Neil Young. He first came to prominence in the late 1960s as a member of Buffalo Springfield. Later, in between releasing solo albums, he also was an on again/off again member of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. While his efforts with other musicians has always been fantastic, he really…

Banana Bread Two Ways

Posted on 2021-05-252021-05-25 by RB

If you’ve watched my cooking show, you’ll know that my partner loves her some banana bread. She buys a bunch of bananas every month and refuses to eat them in the hopes that they’ll turn brown and I’ll make a loaf. Or two. It’s become a bit of a game with us, with me reminder…

A New Podcast Episode – Acting

Posted on 2021-05-24 by RB

I’ve always been fascinating with acting. It’s not just people playing make-believe, it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment. Listen in as I talk about this amazing, and oftentimes under-appreciated, art form. The podcast is available at iTunes, GooglePlay, Spotify, Amazon, and PodBean. If you prefer, I also have a YouTube channel. Or…
