Dr BLT CDiary Old hymns get me in touch with what's real in the realm of music.  Old hymns and old Sunday School songs are treasures that can become new songs for a new generation if introduced in a style that will make them new again. As I was sifting through prospective songs for my...

That's right, you shall be honored.  And it's based on the trust system.  Simply memorize the words to this song, post them in the comments section (no cut and paste jobs allowed), and if you're the first one, you'll be awarded a prize and I'll create a special blog thread featuring you...

I've always been a loser at using a tuner.  So when I became frustrated with this 99 cent Conservarte guitar pitch pipe of mine, I used it as an harmonica.  I'll let you be the judge as to whether its a winner or a loser when it comes to musical accompaniment.  I'm doing fine...

If you can, then you are a genius's genius.  This, my friends is local blues artist, Jerry Rothberg, whose band just got back from playing at BB King's Blues Club in Universal City. He found an outlet right in Starbucks and slid the chord under the door so he could add some killer lead...

The presidential hopefuls are slowing gaining steam as we plow past '06, into 07, with an eye on the big prize in '08.  Each presidential hopeful has put his/her best foot forward, but who will rise in prominence in '07, and who will become burried in baggage and scandal? If the election...
