Maximizing my concert experience is fraught with obstacles, but the big arenas try to make up for it. I stand in line to enter the venue, in line for beer and nachos, in line at the tee-shirt kiosk, and by this time I’ve finished my […]

Okay, here’s your chance to win one of the coolest guitars from Stephen’s personal collection – his 2007 Dean Chrome and Gold Acoustic-Electric Resonator! This axe, one of Stephen’s favorites, is more of a hybrid than anything. You have the sound & tone of a true resonator, but the playability and upper neck access of an electric or really great acoustic guitar. It has a magnetic “lipstick” pickup and a […]

Would Peyton Manning or Richard Sherman play football during intermission of a Bruno Mars concert for free? Because that’s exactly what Bruno did at their game a couple of weeks ago… Bruno Mars is at the top of his game. His second album, Unorthodox Jukebox, is at the top of the charts (as was his first). In just three years, five of his songs have reached number one…. Forbes ranked him number […]

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.

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.
