A couple of weeks ago, I had an experience that has put me on a personal crusade to educate people about musicians and their equipment.
Now first of all, if you are a fan of mine, I hope that you will not take offense to this statement, but people simply don't have a single clue
as to how expensive our equipment is and why nobody, other than the

The Sun Life Stadium in Miami was packed with about 70,000 fans enjoying one of the sporting events of the year, the Super Bowl 2010.
Super Bowl halftime shows have become an eagerly expected part of the event. After the notorious 2004 show with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, the stage has been given only to “safe” rock musicians of the past. Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed between 2005 and 2009.…

On Thursday night, it was off to The Metropolitan Room to catch jazz singer/pianist Diane Marino in her show Just Groovin', which included songs from her recently released CD of the same name, as well as songs from her previous two CDs.
