I may be a little partial to Audi lately. I just love my car. One of the things that really appeals to be about the car are the lights — what the car salesman described as “bling lights”.

Believe it or not, I once was pursing a medical career in college and so I had to...
Read MoreI’ve never really liked drum solos. I mean, they’re cool and all. Until you realize they’ve taken up about 5 – 10 mins of precious concert time I’ve rather have listened to the whole band. Is it musician envy? Perhaps…they don’t usually give dedicated time to bass soloists, but still, all drummers do is hit things!...
