Here’s a little bit of my new song “The Main Idea” from my home studio. I think this one might make it to a real studio, and go out as a single with some bass, drums and lead guitar. Whaddya think? https://t.co/an2iio9z0o

I was skateboarded to the coffee shop this morning to get some work done, and passed this gorgeous model doing a shoot with photographer. Couldn’t resist taking some video. Longboard makes a great camera dolly! You… https://t.co/sHolM2on00

Saw this fella get thrown about 15 feet in the air over the head of bucking bronc about 20 min before I had the opportunity pleasure of meeting him in the bar at Suhl’s Rodeo. He landed right on his feet. Amazing.… https://t.co/W5M37WRKSm

Met these cowboys tonight at Suhls Rodeo in Central Florida after their show. Good men. Fearless and free. As different from each other as can be, and bound together by a common culture. This is the America I… https://t.co/tzSCKemy0T

Went to the rodeo tonight. Pretty amazing. This little girl doing this barrel race (which she won with the fastest time) is only 12 years old. Dang. Watch to the end to get an idea of the kind of speed she had,… https://t.co/TKSH5UrPuK

Summer of Joan Jett. The 350Z Fairlady I call “Mojo”. It came with the original Bose speakers w/ amp and Bose subwoofer, and on this trip back to Florida I updated the stereo to a sweet Pioneer, and introduced my… https://t.co/Dtd3Voq8BG

Old friend. Back in Florida visiting family and playing this old ‘76 Yamaha I keep here. I found her in a pawn shop on the border of Thailand and Cambodia a couple years ago and brought her here, by way of Vietnam… https://t.co/Hu7QwHMMQT
