Matt Selznick, author of the awesome coming of age/superhero novel Brave Men Run, is having a live concert from his house via U-stream on the 25th of January at 3:00 PM PST. More details here. Matt is seeking as many revenue streams as possible, since he lost his job recently. I say that not to [...]

For those of you not following me on Facebook here’s a video of a performance some guys in our church’s vocal ensemble did on Sunday for our church’s talent show.

Hands down, my favorite hymn of all time, I present to you some variations on it. Victor Wooten plays it on his bass. The tune doesn’t start until about 1:30 in. Played on the bagpipes. Sid gave me a hard time about my bagpipe love. I want this played at my funeral. Sung by the [...]
