WorldRider To Speak In Southern & Northern California I am happy to have the opportunity to bring my experiences, photography and video to a number of locations this summer. If you are in the neighborhood please drop in and say hi. I’ve put together a dynamic multi-media presentation that combines storytelling from my three-year journey, […]
While it’s been long since I’ve posted to The Digital Tavern, today someone suggested I explore using MacJournal. So this is my first test blog. Here I insert an image…. but I wonder how I can tell MacJournal where to put the file when uploading? After my test, I find that I can […]
Truly, I’ve been amiss in keeping this blog updated since landing back in the states after my three-year 62,000 mile journey through 35 countries spanning five continents. To be sure, there are great stories and photographs from my ride across our great country. During September and October I crossed the USA using only secondary roads […]

Strolling the side streets of the Music Row district of Nashville makes my mind wander and wonder. In the studios, offices and hallway of these buildings many of the biggest hits of American country and early rock n’ roll were born.
