I love this. I don’t think he understands the rules of engagement. Check this out. And excerpt from an article called, “An open letter to Trump from the US press corps” Access is preferable, but not critical. You may decide that giving reporters access to your administration has no upside. We think that would be…

Waking up at the crack of dawn sucks. It just does. Well, it does for me. I’ve never been a morning person. I never will be. I like to get up at about 9 or 10AM. Well, that’s just not the life I’ve chosen to live. You see, I get up so early for a…

It’s almost like going into a record store with hundreds of thousands of albums ready to be listened to at a moments notice. When we actually had record…

This looks like it will be my new spot to practice and/or rehearse. Traveling to midtown is becoming more and more painful as I age (lol!). The crowds, the subway..nah..I’ll go right from the Bronx to this spot, I’ll park my car and I’m good. It’s actually a really nice rehearsal space. This will have…
