Little chapel, big sound
March 1, 2025 held a great evening in the course of my little life. I was super proud to be a part of Kyle Smith’s album release show at a new all ages venue in south Fort Wayne which he helps run. The bill was K. Edward Smith with full band, Sanchez Agency, and Tom…

Goshen Theater Again
All the stage is a world, and every time I’m on one, everywhere I’ve ever been is available to me. A year ago, (12/2/23) I played in a rock show at the Goshen Theater. It was 11 years since my feet last touched its boards. At that time, in 2012, the Texarkana Two and I…

Borrowed Violin
When I was 14, as an incoming freshman at Riley High School, I started to use a school viola. It was old (to me.) The varnish was a dull brown. It was big, though, a 17 inch-er. It had a dated alligator skin case, but it had a sound that was both crisp and rich.…

Indiana Nights 5 – Summer June Video
Summer June is a gorgeous song by Jake Sandock, our frontman in Sanchez Agency. To me, it paints a picture of a lover and beloved on the verge of a summer night. As the sun is setting, he says, “Let’s forget our troubles tonight.” Back in April, when I first heard the final mix of…

Indiana Nights 4: South Bend
One of happiest memories this summer is including my sons Sam and Zeke in this musical road trip. Indeed, Sam has been a huge help to me this summer. He’s taught me how to get my music on Spotify, Apple, YouTube Music and other major streaming platforms. Invaluable. Every few weeks we’re adding more selections…

Indiana Nights 3: June 17, Angola
“Music, art, and performance are not spectator sports,” I said from the stage as the emcee of the 3rd “Angola’s Got Talent, “They are all things we can take part in.” That’s how I was quoted in the Herald Republican, our hometown newspaper. Angola is a town of 8,500 in a county of 30K residents.…

Indiana Nights 2: June 9, Valpo
If your furnace goes on the fritz in November, in Northern Indiana, it’s a big deal. And it’s fun to think how six months ago, in chilly weather, one furnace repair lead to a night of rock ‘n’ roll in pleasant June. A homecoming, of sorts. A little explanation is in order I used to…

Indiana Nights
On Friday June 2, I joined up with members of my “Faculty” Brannon Hancock and John Drury to play a set of Tom Adamson tunes at Sender Cafe in the heart of Downtown Marion, Indiana. Elizabeth was with me. As were my 2 sons Zeke (who took the photos) and Sam (who drummed on two…

O Indiana, Vol. 2
I was driving home to Angola from Kokomo via Hwy 24. It was a sunny but cold March morning. The Night before I was the house musician at a live event for the Dove Faith Cafe at Rhum Muisc Academy in Kokomo, IN. I played songs that spoke to my Faith in general. In my…
