Ice Storm

An ice storm has moved across much of the midwest, leaving over one million homes without power. The power outage is the second largest in Kentuckiana history; the first being the windstorm from Hurricane Ike back in September. Officials say it could be two weeks before power is restored to many families. Our family lost power for only a few hours.

For my kids, the snow and ice is a reason to celebrate and play.

* Officials now say this outage is the worst in Kentucky history, surpassing the windstorm in September.

Bring on the Rock (school)

My son Josh had his first ever concert last Sunday at a local club. Josh is enrolled in a program called Rock School thru a local music store called Mom's Music. The concert is the culmination of the 8 week program. Josh is singer and bassist.

I was a full-time touring professional musician for many years. To see my 15 yr. old son get up and do his thing was a great experience. I'm not quite ready to say I'm passing the torch (I'm touring in Brazil in April with the Christian rock band Bride), but I'm happy to say it's now Josh's turn.

Josh, keep it in perspective...
