Jimmy Honeyman

Do you remember the story about the canals in Venice during the pandemic? The story was that after decades of pollution, the waters had started to clear, and you could see below the water's surface.

I'm not sure if that's…

Another day, another dead older person. You'd think this was normal or something!!!! I will obviously alienate a few when I tell you that Jimmy Buffet said nothing to me about my life other than the Cheese Burger part. I…

 saw several of my friends express grief at the passing of Robbie Robertson from the Band. He is undoubtedly an icon of a bygone era. His songs and persona are captured in good form in Scorsese's "Last Waltz."

It could…

If you've never heard my band from the '80s, The Bam Bam Club, I can guarantee you that I have a better version of every one of the songs you are about to hear in my vault somewhere. Such is…

I came upon www.archive.org this week. A lot of bands that i haven't heard of and a lot that I would tape over if you gave me their show on a tape (Grateful Dead raise your hand!!).  I doubt I'll…

“Sheropi” is my latest release on Bandcamp. Like many of my tunes, it had a quick birth but a long gestation. The main riff I composed on a mini-Moog while waiting around in a tire shop!!! It's that Keith Richards…

was my first cut corner album. My older brother claimed that they didn't “sound as good.” For the most part this was not the case but you do hear stories of the mob pressing popular records and flooding the mall…

is a great “rashoman” style telling of the Elvis legend by fellow Kentuckian Alana Nash. She crafts the perspectives of 3 members of the Memphis Mafia; Marty Lacker, Lamar Fike, and Billy Smith for the definitive inside story. I'm sure…

On vinyl Sunday at the House of Honeyman, I pulled out “Animal Boy” by the Ramones. It was a late 80's bargain at $3.99 from Camelot!!

It tries to have it both ways stylistically and largely succeeds!! Any album with…

These are excerpted and modified from a memoir I started a few years ago about my musical adventures. It's intended audience is my children, so they have something to ponder if they are so inclined!!
