The Delivery Presents – Robert Davi on Music and Why the Good Stuff is Important
If you want to know why I love social media, look no farther than Episode 132. Without Twitter, it could not have happened and here’s why. A couple of months ago, I had a brief exchange with actor, director, and musician Robert Davi about his new album Davi Sings Sinatra: On the Road to Romance. [...]
The 50 Dollar Instant Christmas Soundtrack
I love Christmas music. I figure I have a couple dozen Christmas albums in my iTunes collection that I either ripped from CDs that I bought over the years or downloaded from iTunes or Amazon and I’m always on the lookout for good stuff to add to the collection. At this time of year, they [...]
Music Video Goodness: “Layla” Done Dixieland-Style
Eric Clapton and Wynton Marsalis. Dixieland blues. Layla. ‘Nuff said.
How to Go from Flat to Funky in Three Easy Steps

Friday Night Awesomeness Break: Five Minutes of Neil Peart
If this 5-minute (give or take) Neil Peart drum solo from last night’s episode of David Letterman’s show doesn’t give you a couple good cases of the chillbumps, then we really need to talk. A few things to note: Neil was in control of all the instruments, including the big band group at the end. [...]
Now Is the Time at The Sundries Shack When We Dance!
For reasons I can not fully comprehend, one of my local classic rock radio stations has put several songs from the Grease soundtrack into its daily rotation. It’s not at all unusual to hear Jimi Hendrix follow by “Summer Lovin”. Well, on my way home from church today, the station got me. I can’t get [...]
