I heard a radio style add for Rush tix going on sale, that only mentions Alex Lifeson & Geddy Lee. No mention of Anika Niles at all. I found this disturbing given the sheer enormity of the grace under pressure she has to possess. An “introducing Anika Niles” would have been cool.

Stunned. Today marks another very dark day in the music world. The great pioneer D’Angelo has passed on. At 51. Gone far, far too soon. He gave us so much, for which we are immensely thankful. Rest in peace. 🙏🙏🙏

Overthinking is imagination trapped in prediction. When you think too much, your brain’s Default Mode Network takes over. It loops on “what ifs,” “should I,” “what could go wrong.” This network was meant for creativity, but when hijacked, it becomes simulation instead of

I didn’t know that members of Congress receive pay during a federal shutdown. Must be nice.

I still find it surprising that some people (in my circle) don't know I'm not just a musician and drum teacher, but also a self-published author with three novels under my belt. Here are the answers to some of the most frequent questions I've been getting lately: • It takes me

I’m definitely getting better at managing my screen time. There’s hope!

The shutdown continues. I feel bad for everybody affected. A lot of government workers have mortgages, etc., and can’t handle prolonged periods without pay.

I clicked on a Joe Rogan video for the first time in a while. Peak high school bro knowledge. No, thanks.

It is with great sadness that I have found that one of the greatest bassists to ever live, the great Anthony Jackson has passed away. Such a huge influence and inspiration to me. Crushed. May he rest in peace. 🙏

We are devastated to report the passing of our dear friend, Anthony Jackson. One of the greatest of our instrument. (June 23, 1952 - October 19, 2025)
