Anyone who knows me knows I've never been one to revel in the past. I'm the last one to cast a misty-eyed glance back at the "good old days". In my experience the people who take this angle are usually the ones who weren't there. Whatever mistakes, false starts and missed opportunities I've had the pleasure of having, I was wherever I was for better or worse.

This blog is not meant to romanticize any choices I made or any particular era. It's simply a place where I share stories and take stock of where I've been as a way to figure out where I might want to go next. I'll celebrate some people along the way, some of them you'll know or know of, others will be new to you. I'm glad to have known every one of them.

The posts are in no thematic or chronological order. The date at the end of the post's title refers to how the content of the post relates to me personally. I make no claim about the accuracy of my recollections I only promise that I'll be as honest and accurate as I can be. If you were there and you remember things differently than I do, or you find evidence that contradicts my memory (I wouldn't be surprised or upset) feel free to let me know.

Rather than editing the posts for historical accuracy, I'll put ( * ) next to any parts that have been challenged or updated for that reason.

AC/DC MONEY TALKS DOLLAR SIGNED BY ANGUS YOUNG TO ME  SAN FRANCISCO 1991 In an earlier blog post I talked about AC/DC and the time I met Angus Young. I wanted to post a photo of this one other piece of memorabilia I own from that meeting. My AC/DC dollar. These dollars rained down on the crowd from the ceiling during the climax of the song “Money Talks”. Like thousands of other fans, I grabbed a fistful of these from the air as they swirled around me. I would’ve picked more of them up off the floor but the crowd was packed so tightly, I doubt any of them made it down that far. I gave all my extra bills to friends of mine who’d appreciate them. I kept this one however because it’s the one signed to me from Angus. Angus Young has always been at the top of my pantheon of Rock-N-Roll heroes. If you don’t get it, or think I could do better than him I’d suggest you watch this one video from Youtube and then explain to me how some other guitarist in some other band is better. I would sincerely like to hear that band! AC/DC Money Talks Dollar from my personal archives.
