A random sequence of events involving @Wawa and Yacht Rock led to @KeithUrban providing a temporary soundtrack for a happy mental place. And for that I’m grateful. #wawa #keithurban #yachtrock https://t.co/73JO3YEKH8

From me seeing Cinderella in concert this past Friday night at an area ballroom to our daughter hearing a 2012 song by Justin Bieber and Nicki Manaj, nothing quite drives home the power of nostalgia like music. #music #nostalgia #perspective https://t.co/CpqDE0AmIB

@MitchHorowitz Mazel tov to your son. I'm a GWU graduate myself and had an incredible experience there.

Castle Rat, a rising band from Brooklyn, is doing for Metal music what the late Terry Pratchett did for Fantasy literature – bringing humor and levity to a genre sorely in need of it. #castlerat #metal #terrypratchett https://t.co/CiPQZRqJjD

I took a victory lap after successfully bending reality to my will; only to get tripped up by a perception that, as always, trumped reality. #perception https://t.co/fEbrrpI4Bj

How a local concert by Long Island-reared guitar greats Joe Satriani and Steve Vai embodied a uniquely Minnesotan pejorative: “That’s different.” #joesatriani #stevevai #concert #guitar https://t.co/aZoanWftyQ

Except for quickly introducing the band, Pat Metheny let his awe-inspiring virtuosity and dedication to craft do the talking during last night’s performance at @DakotaMpls in Minneapolis. Thanks @jonbream for the photo. https://t.co/24Okccizxb

If you’re like me, you have a whole list of local businesses you keep meaning to check out but never get around to it. Fortunately, Record Store Day and Independent Bookstore Day offer as good a reason as any. #recordstoreday #independentbookstoreday https://t.co/l0wHt9BpsD

How listening to Classical music has given me clarity on how better off we’d be letting all that we don’t truly connect with metaphorically hum away in the background. #music #perception #choice https://t.co/MIAoxuClzb

How a recent road trip taught me that no, ignoring something most assuredly won’t make it go away and yes, all of us can call upon some degree of fix-it skills when needed. #travel #DIY https://t.co/e94r8i3Hle

Whether we realize it or not, most us either follow the approach of famed producers Rick Rubin or Robert John “Mutt” Lange in our personal and professional lives. So, are you a Rick or a Mutt? #music #rickrubin #muttlange https://t.co/9SQbWIqM0r

How a game I used to play with our sweet then-toddler son and a darkly comedic HBO series highlight two distinctive points the parenting journey. #parenting #thechaircompany https://t.co/1EwE18uVGO
