Last night, dinner service held the potential for massacre all night long.  Just a perfect storm of everything you work to avoid, but once in awhile must surmount anyway, despite best efforts.  For those that don't know, the sous chef runs service from the pass through window, which is where the kit...

Great posts!    I’m living much the same as I did in my 40s and 50s, some meds excepted.    Aware can’t continue as such for ever, however if I can keep fit/working, my relationship in good shape, lead a balanced life,  participating in active team sports, playing the odd gig, whilst still enjoying...

OK, maybe this is a stupidly titled post.  After all, isn't our intuition one of the very few attributes that's supposed to improve with age?  Probably for most that's case, but I'm very surprised that mine has, because I've had a career and lived the life that came with it, in an industry and locat...

I have my own style that I now recognize when I hear it throughout my recorded music.  That said, I'm still working on shit, trying to get better. What I realized is that even if/when I do improve, my style doesn't really change. I just add another crayon or two to my box.    Dave, my recent improv...

I've got a song that I'm recording next month.  I've got the musos I want on the session, too.  The closest comparison would be that it's similar to Johnny Guitar Watson's 70s and 80s funk era.  I know I'll get a solid track from this, with the players involved.

When I was little, like most of us, I had all the fantasies and the imagined future of stardom when I fell in love with my guitar.  I started playing at 7 years old, and I had the advantage of being taught by a teacher that was also an otherworldly talented player, which was good for me. I spent 3 y...

The work isn't for everybody, but if you're the sort that's built for it, there's a fulfillment and gratification aspect that can't be bought.  It's a great feeling when you finish service with the knowledge that your guests left satisfied and hopefully with a lasting memory.  In this town, there's ...

After a year at my restaurant, I'm embracing a new opportunity.  I stood that place up and stabilized it with a talented staff, which was not easy, given the state of the economy.  I'm now working as a Sous Chef, supporting a talented and experienced Executive Chef that I've long admired and respect...
