long time no blog
It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged, I apologize for that.
I had to replace (upgrade) 2 computers, and get all the bugs ironed out. That is always time consuming and stressful, but things are approaching normal again.
As for the Chop Shop I’ve been loading up on interviews, In the last several days I’ve talked to Ian Hunter, Manny Charleton (Nazareth), Ted Nugent, Pat Travers and Les Paul! Yep the one and only creator of the solid body electric guitar, inventor of sound on sound recording and the 8-track recorder. Les just turned 92 and Page, Clapton, Steve Miller and a ton of other mega-stars all showed up to jam.
In the world of the Sabrina Black Foundation, we are preparing for our first award ceremony. Unfortunately, very little is official yet so I can only tell you that it will be a $100 a plate dinner in a nice place, with a national celebrity hosting. That night we will pay off one cancer patient’s entire hospital bill. We are also planning on making a local nurse our first “Sabrina Caregiver of the Year”. It will be a magical night, and it looks like it will be in September. More details soon.
I’ll be at Tool this Tuesday night, the Tigers game this Friday, Nickelback on the 16th, Tesla on the 18th, Chris Cornell on the 22nd and Deep Purple on the 27th.]
See you out there on the streets of the D.
