My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
I heard that today is Chris Caffery Friday. It just so happens that I have a few photos of Chris from this year's show. Here are a few pictures of Chris from the Manchester, NH show on November 28th. Chris first became known to me in December of 2000, at my very first TSO show in Albany, NY. I enjoyed his interaction with the band as well as with the crowd. I loved listening to him play, while Continue Reading...
Here are 10 more photos from the Manchester, NH show on November 28th. For the first time in 16 years of seeing Trans-Siberian Orchestra in concert, I actually took a lot of pictures at the show this year. I usually take some pictures, but not too many. Maybe this year, because I have a 'newer, smarter' phone, I thought I would take more pictures, I don't know. The pictures aren't of the Continue Reading...

Maybe this year, because I have a 'newer, smarter' phone, I thought I would take more pictures, I don't know. The pictures aren't of the highest quality in my opinion, but I share none the less. If you know me, you Continue Reading...

I also recorded it, and watched it again, with my 5-year-old twins. They loved the music and the effects, even on TV. As I await the arrival of my tickets for this year's show, I find myself still drawn to the sounds of the music, and also to a Continue Reading...
Sometimes I travel just to pass through an area, but many times I travel to a spot just to let it pass through me. Continue Reading...
Last Sunday morning I found peace in a place I'd never been before. Sitting on the top deck at the rental house in Waves, NC, I prayed, I wrote, I listened, I drifted, I sang, I sat and tried to ponder the depths of blue in the sky above me. The sun was bright. It was at my back. I stared out over Pamlico Sound from my deck perch, and I wondered how the water that was my horizon as far as I could Continue Reading...
Often times, as I stroll through the quiet, God created, wild places, I find myself praying, if not, talking with my Lord. In those moments, the balance of life, my peace of mind, and feeling of blessed assurance is mine; mine alone. It reminds me of the truths found in words to a song I remember singing in church...

Many times I sit and think about things that have been. I listen to music the way that it was. Most times I find that so many things were done right the first time. I love to enjoy the creativity of lyrics, words written, and music compiled beautifully. Then sometimes I delve into these things a little bit deeper, maybe just to feel them, or maybe to record memories that I'll hold close to me for Continue Reading...
...When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,... Continue Reading...
