Crummey Show

This one's a nostalgic slow dance through a Catholic high school prom. Picture awkward teenage hands on hips, crepe paper streamers, and one very nosey nun who kept wedging herself between me & my date every time the lights dimmed. "Leave room for Jesus," she'd bark- again & again. Years later I realized she just wasn't killing the mood. In the bigger picture, that forced space taught me something about patience, boundaries, and how the moments that feel like pure frustration can quietly become the ones you're most grateful for. Jackson Brown meets a confessional booth: warm acoustic guitars, gentle electric leads, and a groove that sways like a slow prom song you never forgot. If you've ever looked back on a small ridiculous memory and found real wisdom hiding inside it, this one's for you. Stream, like, repost if it hits.

Mid-tempo indie rocker with a dusty-road heartbeat. Acoustic and electric guitars weave together over driving piano, fat bass, crisp drums, and rich layered harmonies that hit like a summer storm rolling in.This one’s for every hairless ape who’s been grinding through the motions, watching the world tilt sideways. From the fox in the henhouse to the unelected rats multiplying in the shadows, it’s a raw, restless anthem about being stuck… and finally getting ready for the downpour that washes it all clean.Lyrics highlight (Chorus):The fox is in the henhouse, Moon is on the wane River beds are running dry, this World’s gone insane I’m ready for rain… I’m ready for rain Rain on down let the water flow Thunder wake my soul, lift this heavy load Break that stranglehold… I’m ready for rain If you’ve ever stood your ground while everything around you felt upside down, this one’s for you.Stream it loud, let it hit you in the chest, and drop a comment — what are you ready for rain to wash away? #ReadyForRain #IndieRock #AlternativeRock #NewMusic #SingerSongwriter #IndieVibes #LosAngelesMusic #NYCtoLA

I was listening to him play and I heard it immediately. He had never done it before. It was the first time he played w/ vibrato. I asked him to come into the studio and play me a G major scale. It's very simple but only the second time he'd ever done it. Not quite as good as witnessing his first steps, but damn close. Track is about 50 sec.

This past week I filled in for Chris Plante on WMAL and for Geraldo Rivera @ KABC. Here's my first hour @ KABC 7/9/12 If you awoke to an intruder in the house- and he split- would you hunt him down and tackle him? Let's talk about what a father of 4 did in Costa Mesa....

1962 in America was a time when anything seemed possible. And with the July launch of Telstar, the first active communications satellite, the United States was riding the crest of yet another wave of electronic advancement. Telstar was built in NJ. at Bell Labs and it was the first satellite to send live TV/Fax & Phone calls across the Atlantic. It's something we take for granted, our ability to speak with anyone anywhere around the world at any time, but it all began with the first Telstar back in 1962. The idea of a man-made star soaring through space inspired this guy, Joe Meek to write a song about it. Telstar's been covered by a ton of old school bands like the Tornados, the Ventures and the Shadows, and like most of the pop music from that era its quite simple, but there's something about the way this instrumental captures the righteous joy of those times. All instruments played by yours truely. friend me on FB.

Jeter hit his 3,000th, and the guy who caught the piece of history... gave it back! What would you have done if you caught Jeter's 3000th hit? WABC's Mary Elkordy talked to people on the street to see what they think. Via the NY Post: No regrets. The Derek Jeter fan who gave back the historic 3,000th-hit ball that his idol blasted into the left-field stands -- a memento worth about $250,000 -- yesterday said he'd do it again "100 times." Sitting yesterday in a seat along the third-base line five rows above the visitors' dugout, Christian Lopez basked in his newfound fame -- and the extra thumbs-up he got yesterday from an at-bat Jeter, who notched his astounding 3,000th hit with the ball Saturday.
