Every year I celebrate my birthday in grand style: with celebrations of music that are turning a “milestone” age. This year, because of the advent of what became rock and roll, I added 70-year-old songs! Those songs are older...

11 hours and 43 minutes. That's how long it took for them to reach a verdict. There were 3 options: guilty, not guilty, or hung jury. The fact that they have a verdict means that it isn't a hung jury.
I'm no legal expert but...

OMG. I didn't think it would be so unanimous. HAHAHAHAHAHA Yup Trump was convicted of all 34 charges of falsifying documents to help his 2016 campaign. I thought that some charges would stick but not all. Nope. They all stuck....

Greg I'm still not ruling out prison. As my lucky 8-Ball likes to say, "All signs point to yes."

Is this real? Or am I being suckered by Liberal Media?
They are reporting that Donald Trump has been found GUILTY of all charges in his first criminal trial.
I just got a flash from Newsweek reporting the same.
If this is...

Judge Merchan wants to wrap up the closing arguments by the defense and prosecution today so he can issue instructions to the jury tomorrow. He asked the jury if they were willing to stay later than 4 or 4:30 which is when they...

I have only a few students at Guitar Center this afternoon.
I decided to do a minor project this morning.
I gathered up all of my beer cans, tossed them in the sink, and then started stomping them.
Stomping beer cans was a...

For some reason, I was musing about how much fun it would be to have a long conversation with Bruce Cockburn this morning. Some of you may not have heard of him, but he is one of my favorite musicians.
He is still alive, and...

It took Kitty only about three minutes to come home after I did. She is a bit of a trollop (but I still love her) and I am sure she did fine with Austin.
As I was starting to unpack, she appeared at my door, stared at me, and did...

This (if it shows) is the B and B, or whatever it's called, that I stayed at in Chicago. There were seven of us, all graduates of University High School, on the South Side of Chicago.
This building is on 51st Street, two blocks...

I just watched this video of a former prosecutor discussing whether Donald Trump will actually spend time in prison if he is convicted in the current trial.
Many of us are hoping he does not get away with "home confinement" or...

One thing I like about the South Side of Chicago is Morrie's Deli. I DID go there this past weekend. Another thing I liked WAS Ribs 'n Bibs, the BBQ place. But that went under about 10 years ago.
Still another thing I like about...

It's good to be back in the saddle. I saw some favorite students yesterday, and we made progress, which is all I ask.
Today is a long but fun day for me. I get to see my piano friend Alee, who is now eight. I've been working with...

Greg You should teach her how to play and sing "Piano Man." It would be funny and ironic because she's a girl.

Yesterday, I decided to give Dirt Devil one more shot. I bought...

I have been following the first Trump criminal trial fairly closely. It's about falsifying documents to pay off Stormy Daniels not to talk about her (I believe) 2006 "romantic" encounter with Donald Trump. Trump was instructing...
