Tossing this out into the universe again: if you’re in Central Florida and you have a Genesis or Phil Collins cover band and you need a drummer, I’m your man. youtu.be/Kxw2h9H07x4
When you get a Barnes and Noble gift card for your birthday, and it’s a 50 percent off sale on hardcovers… POOF! BOOKS! Fun fact: although I’m a fan of some of the bands featured in the Lollapalooza book, I have never been to Lollapalooza. I did watch that recent documentary on the festival.

Revisiting Genesis with Steve Hackett Again
EDITOR’S NOTE: I originally published this in March 2024 on Substack. Now I’m putting it over here on the blog, with a little new extra stuff toward the end. Enjoy! I’ve been a fan of G…

Happy 90th, Donald Duck!
