Tailgate Society Music Review: Tom Petty and the Traveling Wilburys
In the coming days and weeks, millions of words will be written in an attempt to eulogize and quantify the enormity of Tom Petty, who died on October 2nd. That is not my goal here. Obviously, I didn’t know Petty, and I’ve never seen him in concert (regrettably). I don’t want to write here what […]

2017 Grammy Taeks: BEYONCE GOT ROBBED
I turned on to the Grammys after seeing CeeLo green in head to toe gold on the twitter machine, just in time to see Carrie Underwood and some generic shaggy country singer.

Holiday Gift Giving: So you want to buy a guitar
Music is a great hobby for kids. Parents love it because it keeps the kids active while also being inside. It allows them to learn discipline while having fun playing music. They can learn to play songs they hear on the radio. It builds character, self esteem, and self expression. The arts are getting lost […]
