One of my favs, just missed out on Ten, but made Lost Dogs-

We all go through valleys. Maybe it's the loss of a loved one, or the passing of a dear friend, or having a child move thousands of miles away and not being prepared to deal with that situation as a parent.

I've had three dear people in my life pass away over the past year. Two golf buddies, and my father who passed just a month ago. As much as we want to think that we're resilient and impenetrable emotionally - sometimes it's just not that easy.

Having people you can count on, in the backdrop providing love and encouragement and assuredness means everything. That one word... assuredness. It's the hardest. Because sometimes we just aren't emotionally equipped to deal with things and see the bigger and brighter picture, that everything is gonna work out. It's human nature.

But my wife of 29 years, who has been my support system throughout the past 29 years (but especially the past year), is the reason I want to keep going forward, want to move beyond the sad feelings and keep moving ahead.

This one is for her. She's been my rock. When I found her 29+ years ago - I found out what true love really means. And it took a while for me to figure that out. Too many years to be honest. But better late than never!

She just gets better with age. šŸ™‚

Can't beat it when your son is the Twisted Sister/Dee Snider Band guitarist and you can sit on the couch and listen to him practice going through a set. Right now " Under the Blade"

An intolerable screamo metal band going acoustic and sounding fantastic...

Unbelievable, absolutely AMAZING cover of Rush's Red Barchetta. Better than the original. Love it.

Watch for my boy Nick in the Official Dee Snider "For The Love Of Metal" video. All the live footage as you will see from seeing Nick is from one of their shows.

    Typhoon Iā€™m not a metal fan, but that was a well done video production. Good to see your son doing what he loves at the highest level!

      Great tune. Not sure if I like this or the original better, depends on mood I guess. Drummer rocks it!

      Going to try to check out the new Dream Theater.

        LB, Nick was with Dave Ellefson a few weeks ago.
