It's been almost four years.....

I just noticed that it's been almost 4 years since my last "blog" entry on my website. Well, not much has gone on. Yeah, right!


Of course, we all know the obvious life changing, world changing events that have gone on since 2018 and, like everyone else, I have tried my damnest to adapt and I'll try to run down - quickly - what's been happening with me over the last four-years.


First, the "LA Radio Studio" situation is a long made for TV movie, filled with politics, bureaucracy and, of course, Covid. I'll spare you the gory details but sum up by saying, the "brick and mortar" studio is built, it is pretty much operational and it's highly unlikely we'll ever go back. I'll leave that as a cliffhanger because I'm not completely sure we won't go back. The good news is because of all these factors, technology in "audio" has made giant strides over the last four years.


Second, my focus now is more on the two shows I produce - LA Radio Sessions and Radio Waves. These shows are great shows to work on and produce because they are a perfect fit for someone that is eyeing retirement yet knows in his heart, he'll never really stop doing something in the audio world. In narrowing my focus, I'm finding the shows we do now are even better than when we were producing them from the "brick and mortar" because with the recent technology I mentioned before, we have access to guests for the shows from "virtually" anywhere in the world.


Lastly, I'm working on various shows for the CSULB student station - 22 West Radio - and recently republished my "Black Sabbath - An Oral History" book, with a couple other book and podcast ideas in the wings. I hope to be back on this blog more as well. Until then - stay tuned - more to come.
