A Trombonist Who Mixes Mali with Monk
Last night I had trouble sleeping. I tossed and turned and eventually got up. That’s when I read about Roswell Rudd, American Trombonist and Renaissance man. A story in the WSJ profiled this prolific musical experimenter, who travels to Mali and the Caribbean in search of new beats. Rudd is […]
Peeking at Rooftops From Your Desktop
I sat outside on the deck tonight, it was humid and it really felt like summer. Sad to think that tomorrow is August and then…well, it’ll all be gone sooner than we think. I read the WSJ and a story popped out that compelled me to read further. It was […]
Time to Ham It Up on Brad Shepard’s Show
Brad Shepard and I were joshin’ on the email last week and sounding like corny cowboys, setting up my visit tomorrow on the Morning Show with Bo and Brad, on WHYN-AM. I have been an AM guy for many years now, if you ask me the best radio comes from […]

A Grizzly Bear Stares Us Down as Elk Munch Leaves
After a dinner of fine grass-fed steaks cooked on the grill, (about as good as steak can get, and I’ve had Kobe as well as Smith and Wolensky beef), we ventured out for a wildlife watch. These of course can be disappointing, but as we drove over the dirt road […]
Cantering on Toughie Was The Day’s Highlight
Today was a day of exploring and of course, riding, at the SK Ranch in Montana. We headed out over the soft hills on our steeds to round up some cattle that needed a drink. “Cattle are too lazy to walk to the water, they would rather stand in a […]
