Oboe Lesson No. 1

The oboe is said to be one of the most challenging and complex instruments to master.  Not for me.  For me it was pretty easy actually.  Only been playing for damn near 20 years and I sound this good!!

Saxophone Lesson No. 1

I have always been impressive on the saxophone… I just found it boring I guess.  Anyway, if anyone is serious about learning how to play please be sure to listen.  I am really good.  Also be sure to check out "The Basic Guide To How To Read Music".  It's basically the best literature we have today on to how to read music.  Not only that it parallels all other aspects of life, giving you insight to how to do life.. and to how to live how you to… want… to.. how.

Enjoy.

Michael Myers Morning Routine

Ok so I have to admit I am a pretty big fan of the Halloween movies.  Maybe not as much a fan of the movies as I am a fan of the Michael Myers.  I find the character terrifying and hilarious at the same time.  Fascinating how the mask conceals all emotion, but put him in virtually any context and the character comes to life with such personality.  Awesome.  Thank you Michael.  And thank you Jon for the music!

Enjoy.

Trombone Lesson No. 1

I have been playing the trombone professionally for 20 years now.  I have pretty much always been this good.  I have been called "brilliant boner" by most people of my generation.  Per the video description, you should not expect to sound even remotely close to the sonic perfection you will hear coming out of my bone.  Enjoy.

James can't catch a break..

Alright… Seriously, this poor guy!  First he gets harassed while driving and now while taking a lovely stroll in the park?!?!  What is with this guy?  I don't know who this other character is but he needs to give James a break for crying out loud!

My good friend James

Alright...  So get this!  The other day I was talking with a very dear friend of mine named James.  He's just your typical everyday joe kind of guy, that was unfortunately dealt a pretty rough hand.  A couple weeks ago he was driving, minding his own business enjoying a short break from an otherwise long work day...

All of a sudden... out of no where, he gets pulled over for what he believed was totally unnecessary.  I mean it's kind of a double edged sword if you think about it... I mean I just feel bad for the guy, but I think he might be taking a bit to personal...  I don't know...  What do you think??

Field of Dreams

Here is a cover of "When My Time Comes" recorded by myself and good friend Swanny Scotty Swanson.  Video footage taken at the Field of Dreams in Dyersville Iowa.  Enjoy.
