Last night, I had a rare privilege.

Many years ago,, a young guitar player heard my music and was inspired by the fact that I wrote my own music..

Since then, this very fine gentleman named Van Wagner has released 32 albums.

Last night he had a CD release party at a nice venue in Jim Thorpe, PA. for his new album, Sing Out.

He invited me and a few others to jam with him after he performed the whole new album live.

For him, he gets to jam with one of his inspirer...

Views from people are mixed on this one - and, I'll guess you thought Donald Trump divided the country?

As I posted on my facebok page, not everybody believes life begins at inception.

Different people have different views and the Constitution of The United States guarantees people the right to have different opinions.

The laws of this country should not be dictated by religious doctrine as there is a separation of church and state.

Last week, I went into New York City to see the opening night performance of the Bradway play POTUS.

It's a funny political satire - kind of like Saturday Night Live, backstage at The Whitehouse!

Well, things at my day job have become a little different.  We're understaffed.

It bothers me that the time I put into my job interferes with my creativity.

At least I can find the time to run my rado show, TV show and scribble down my thoughts on blogs.

I need to find time for my piano and guitar composing.

I guess this isn't as bad as when we all had the shutdown.

All I did back then was work and sleep!

After a very long time, the show is in preproduction for a complete series.

New scripts are being written and actors are being auditioned for roles in the upcooming filming.

The original pilot was aired internationally and has won an award.

It focuses on a local actor who also works as a celebrity impersonator.

Where is he in life?

Where is he going?

And, how is he going about it?

More news to follow!

Right now I'm trying to watch the movie "Lost In Translation".

I know I'm in the wrong frame of mind and I'm sorry but, for me this movie and all other movies are now outdated and borderline science fiction/fantasy.

One of the first things we see is Bill Murray riding in a cab in Tokyo, the big neon signs, lots of people walking around, people shaking his hand, he's casually hanging out at a bar.

We don't do this anymore.

Traveling, restaurants, bars, crowded elevators...

My cars' tire went flat while working tonight. I'm not going to make as much money as I hoped for. Oh well,..

I'll get it fixed in the morning and return to being 'me' again,..!

Episode #44 of my TV show, Brodian's Basment, is just about finished and I'm already lining up films and videos for show #45.

I like doing the show as a creative outlet.

I like making music even more!

If I'm not busy, I'm not happy!

I posted this on one of my TV shows' pages: I want to write a scene where I show blacks and whites acting as equals. The problem is, society won't accept it. I'll be accused of living in a dream world. But, this is what society wants. Why can't people accept certain ideas?

One of the things I like about being a DJ at WDIY is that I get to play new music.  Never a dull moment when I'm on the air.  And, the best part is, there's always new music made available for me to choose from to play on my shows!  Search playlists on www.wdiy.org  My shows are called Saturday Night Alternative and (Thursday's) The Blend!

My day Thursday: checked my P.O. Box, filled the car's gas tank, washed the car and by 9:00 AM I was at Toyota's service center having the passenger side airbag replaced (factory recall). At noon, I was having lunch with a friend. From 1:00 - 4:00 PM, I was on the air at WDIY. At 4:30, I had an early dinner. 4:00 - 9:00 PM, working my day job. 9:30 PM, I'm playing guitar and singing on a podcast. 11:00 PM, I'm playing for a 1/2 hour at an open mic night. After 11:30, filling in my journal and...
