Still learning piano and trying to practice. Here are a few covers.    

So Lisa went to get some tattoo(s) done yesterday and she gave me the opportunity to tag along. We took the long journey to Astoria, Queens to LiquidMatter and allowed Roberto to showcase his art on her sleeve. He did a great job. The atmosphere was great and Roberto was great in general. He’s the [...]

We toasted to great adventures, listened to the ocean roar, and laughed and laughed and laughed. Did I [...]

I went over to the Garden Party once again to Weeksville and checked out the sounds of Meshell Ndegeocello and Muhsinah this weekend. Two very talented artists with their own unique sound.
