January 7, 2021 I have to keep reminding myself that I am a Daily Writer not a journalist. I take notes. And from those quickly jotted down expressions I learn. Free form thinking. Stream thinking. A discipline. An exercise. I used to call it talking with my eyes. Being a radio on air talent you do that so that listeners can be pulled into the conversation. Look at how great play by play announcer...

January 6, 2021 So much is moving through us. I’m talking at speeds that feel unstoppable. Yet somehow we tend to catch the mindset of the moment. Some of them we can handle. Others elevate the true existence of something we wish we had better control of and over. It’s ok to say we’ve changed as a generation. Marc Maron recently talked about how we’re starting to wear this Covid world we’re trappe...

I sit staring at this page.  Waiting to find out if its going to write for itself.  The words are already there.  It's my daily duty to scratch into the rings of this living tree.  To locate a message.  A needle in a haystack.  If we were to ever locate the needle would it be one in the same as discovering our truer self?  I wouldn't go into the challenge searchi...

January 5, 2021 Where is your “There?” That place you go where positive flow and energy ignite the drive forward. A relationship. Not with a person but rather a place. I once thought my “There” was Timberline near Red Lodge, Montana. In 1992 I left something of great value up on that mountain near the frigid cold lake and stream. I did that to inspire myself to keep returning to my home state. I’v...

When you poke around his recording studio, right away it’s clear that Dave Mason is not your average Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. The story is on the walls. There’s the platinum record from the first Traffic album, the band he co-founded with Steve Winwood.

When where we believe creates painstaking dista...
