It was late 2004 when I fell in love with the Blues -- right around the time I first started teaching myself how to play the guitar. And soon enough my new found interest grew into a full-fledged passion I threw myself into, learning all I could about the history, ...

A tribute to fathers everywhere, and the children that they love.
Dan Fogelberg - Leader of the Band

I can't help it: I love 80's pop music. What can I say? It was a very influential decade for me. And let's face it, Rick Springfield was a typical poster boy of early 80's stardom. Sure he's gone on to do other things, but to me Rick will always ...

Van Halen's "Everybody Wants Some", from "Women and Children First" (as well as the "Better Off Dead" soundtrack, starring John Cusack, an incredible actor). This and "Panama" are probably my two favorite Van Halen songs of all time.

The grand tradition of the mix tape has been re-tooled and updated for the 21st century by Jules Bennett AKA The Mixtress.
The gist of the project is simple: it's a mixed CD exchange amongst music lovers. Make a CD, get a CD. There's also a "found" aspect of the ...
