Yes, I am capable of taking a really bad photograph! Update on the JBL L-100s I am working on.

The Horse @TheHorse (218898) • Walnut Creek, California 19 Nov

I am working on a pair of JBL L-100s right now. They were brought to me by a fellow East Bay musician. These things go for about $1200/pair right now on eBay if they look and sound good. The ones my friend brought to me are...

My voice student got a call-back!

The Horse @TheHorse (218898) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Nov

I have never formally taught "voice" before, but I have a voice student. He has been with me for about two months. Recently, he auditioned for a musical at his Jr. High. I believe him to be about 13-years-old. We worked on his...

Polls for fun and, Why I Really Think People Voted for Rump

celticeagle @celticeagle (167025) • Boise, Idaho 19 Nov

I think that many people vote for someone new and different. If they are unhappy in their lives they feel something bizarre and shocking could possibly fix them for a while. I also think a lot of people voted for the showman and...

What an odd coincidence!

The Horse @TheHorse (218898) • Walnut Creek, California 7 Nov

There is speculation out there that Trump's price for "Trump baseballs," $88.00, is/was a secret sign to his white supremacist supporters that he has their backs. Count on your fingers (my personal calculator). 88 could mean Heil...
