Wednesday May 15th, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL I got up much earlier than I had intended to this morning to do a comedy segment on the ‘Stone and Double T Show’ on WXRX ‘The X’ in Rockford, IL. I really like those guys, and we usually do a weekly call in bit...
Tuesday May 14th, 2013 – Milwaukee, WI Hooray for the mentors of the world. They provide insight and wisdom to those climbing up an invisible and often difficult ladder, and all too often their unselfish efforts go underappreciated or worse yet not appreciated at all. I for ...
Tuesday May 7th, 2013 – Lake Zurich, IL Versatility in the entertainment business can be a two edged sword. On one hand, it can allow a performer to have the luxury of more than one option to receive a paycheck. On the other, there’s a “jack of all trades, master...
Tuesday March 5th, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL The entertainment business – and life itself – is a constant series of upswings and downswings. It’s a roller coaster ride, with the only constant being change. I remember meeting Kenny Rogers years ago when I was livi...
Thursday January 31st, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL Somewhere in my scrambled rat race of a life there needs to be a master plan. I thought I had at least a loose one at one point, but I’m nowhere close to making it how I’d pictured. Life was on a steady path upward with ...
Sunday January 20th, 2013 – Kenosha, WI Today was one of those days that when it’s all over will go down as one where nothing at all of any substance or significance happened. We all have thousands of those in our lives, kind of like pulls on a slot machine. Once in a ...
Sunday January 13th, 2013 – Minneapolis, MN/Kenosha, WI It’s always hard to fall asleep after a show, and then even harder to get up early to start the long drive home. The strong temptation is always there to roll back over and catch what is intended to be a few more ...
Saturday January 12th, 2013 – Bloomington, MN/Shakopee, MN One more night in the Twin Cities, and then it’s back to the balmy Chicago climate. It’s maybe 8 degrees here if I’m lucky, and everything is frozen either open or shut. I haven’t felt it this...
Tuesday January 8th, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL I’m only home for a couple of days before having to head out again, and I’m realizing just how much effort is involved in living the road life. I did it for decades without giving it a first thought much less a second, but...
Monday December 17th, 2012 – Fox Lake, IL Clue phone, line one. I have to get something lucrative or at least somewhat profitable going in 2013, or it’s going to be an even longer and harder year than 2012. The thought of that scares the fuzz off my fanny - and also ge...
Tuesday December 11th, 2012 – Rockford, IL As crazy and frustrating as my life has been and even with the high degree of disappointment I tend to feel on a regular basis, the one constant I can hang my hat on is that I love what I do on a consistent basis. I may not love the...
Monday December 10th, 2012 – Rockford, IL Back in the radio groove. I received a text message from Jim Stone asking if I’d be available to fill in this week on the 3pm to 5pm shift on WNTA in Rockford, IL, and although I was still tired to the bone from my stress riddl...
Sunday December 2nd, 2012 – Kenosha, WI I am thoroughly pleased with the remarkable amount of positive progress that has been made in regards to ‘The Mothership Connection’ radio show on AM 1050 WLIP this year. We have made a noticeable leap forward in consistenc...
As a life long Milwaukee resident, you would think I would know all there is to know about Milwaukee.But I don't.There have been so many times when someone that is not a native Milwaukeean will visit and I am put in the position of playing tour guide, to see them wide eyed and amazed at our city ...
Sunday August 12th, 2012 – Kenosha, WI Joy and pain. Sunshine and rain. Yin and yang. Life is filled with polarity whether we like it or not. It’s easy to like the ups, but the downs can be a deal breaker. I’m experiencing this first hand with the Mothershi...
