Remember the video clip of violin master Joshua Bell that went crazy viral some 5 years ago? Perhaps the most gifted violinist alive, hardly noticed, playing in DC during rush hour at an underground metro station…currently, the Youtube video is at 4 million plus views and counting. As the below story reads, aside from being a virtuoso, Bell is somewhat of a techie…he’s up on all the latest devices, apps […]

One of my clearest memories of early youth is my dad imploring me to pick up an instrument, any instrument. A deep regret of his had always been being musically “un-inclined”, so it was important that he bestowed the opportunity of music lessons upon his kids.

Super Bowl XLVI is fast approaching. February 5th. 11 days away… That means 3 things: great football, million dollar ads and MUSIC. For us in Dallas, the Super Bowl is something of a mirage these days (even if it was at Jerry World last year). This wasn’t the case in the 90’s.

We all have our favorite, iconic holiday book/film/play/TV show, maybe even a favorite toy, and last but not least, favorite Christmas song or carol. Since I was a kid, some of those iconic holiday classics have been replaced — a change made ever more apparent as the father of three young ones (although only one still young enough to […]

To say the least, it’s an honor to be associated with the “best in the business”, or “pound for pound the world’s best”. In a roundabout way, that’s what’s happening this week here at the studio. This Saturday night on PPV, boxing’s pound for pound best, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao fights Juan Manual Marquez. This will be their third confrontation, the first ending in a draw and the second in a […]
