I Love Working on Cars and All Things Mechanical – aka Wrenching I haven’t done a Boomer’s Favorites piece in quite a while, and although this isn’t a specific “list”, the topic itself…wrenching, is definitely one of my favorites. Wrenching is just a colloquialism for using tools and working on things yourself. It primarily applies…
Best Debut Album Releases – Boomer’s Favorites
Feels Like the First Time – Boomer’s Best Debut Album List Although these days, you are more likely to find me listening to bible study radio or a podcast, occasionally I still break out the tunes. Sometimes it’s easier to slog some miles on the treadmill or the elliptical with some good music. Just like…
Best Live Albums – Boomer‘s Favorites
Forty Years Later The Best Live Albums Still Deliver Everyone one has their own lists. Best Guitar Solos, Best Drum Solos (the correct answer is always “Neil Peart”…always), and Best Live Albums.

The Only Cover Band I Ever Liked – Boomer Memories
The Rush Tribute Project is the Only Cover Band I Really Liked Don’t get me wrong, cover bands are fun. Playing cover songs is a great way to engage a crowed when you are just starting out, and a cover band is a fun way for a group of musicians to get together and jam.…
Boomer Memories: The Himalaya & REO Speedwagon
The Himalaya Carnival Ride introduced me to fear, and REO Speedwagon Some memories are universal, while some are unique to baby boomers. I’m not completely sure where this one lands, but it’s one of my favorites for sure. It involves a carnival ride known as The Himalaya, and a song by REO Speedwagon called, Ridin’…
The Vaccine is Not the Mark of the Beast…Yet
Get Vaxxed, It’s Not the Mark of the Beast, at Least For Now Let’s just put it out there right away…is the COVID vaccine the mark of the beast? While there are thousands of trained theologians out there that can answer that better than I, having a layman’s point of view can’t hurt either. So…
