Don’t Let Your Son or Daughter Quit Piano Lessons

Allowing your child to quit piano lessons before they are 18 almost always turns into a lasting regret for both parents and children.

Original post...

I’m playing music at the Captain’s Bar at the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong from July 2015 to January. I have Andrew Simmons with me playing bass and Felicity Visic is singing.

Andy started out playing with me in the 90’s at the JJ Mahoney’s club in the Seoul Grand Hyatt. That was a crazy gig, but we’ve been playing together on and off ever since and that has really helped the music for this gig be a lot of fun.

Sometimes a hotel gig can get old fast but with fun musicians around you it’s easier to stay positive when you’re playing six nights a week.

Here I am in my little piano nook at the Captain's Bar.

Hiking in Hong Kong is a lot of fun, here's a view of the city from the top of Hong Kong island.

I wrote this as a memorial to “Calvin and Hobbes” because the comic strips were an integral part of my life from the start when I was a teenager to the finish. I found other versions of Calvin’s last story online and was inspired to write my own. Thank you Mr. Watterson for “Calvin and Hobbes”.

Toilets that Flush, a Personal Review

A review of the American Standard Siphonic Dual Flush Toilet

I have a toilet that is done flushing by the time I tighten my belt. When I turn around all I see is what I’m guessing is a happy toilet bowl, empty of all else but glistening H2O ready and waiting for whatever you can drop into it, even a bucket of golf balls if you’re courageous enough to try.

The unmistakable sound of someone strangling chickens rose above the regular din of drunk businessmen and their guests. My first thought was that I didn’t recall there ever being chickens in the bar.
