Trying to be the best me. I also knock 4/5 strings around and freeze time with a magic box.

Can’t we get Jed Bartlett in the White House?

I usually have @CNBC on in the background during the work day. With the incessant repetitive ads for reality TV and now a self tanning commercial I think EVERY SINGLE BREAK… it’s back to music for me.

Learned the @officialgogos tune - “Vacation” for a show this weekend. Fun song and @Kathy_Valentine came up with a great bass line. Sounds simple, but more to it than you’d think. Really supports the melody, especially in the chorus. Looking forward to playing it live tomorrow.

And… she KILLED IT!!! (A surprise to no one, because while I’m not 100% certain, I think that @GretchenMenn may have invented guitar playing.)
Guest solos can be a fun and creatively expanding challenge—the goal is to respect the vibe of the song while also bringing some of myself to it. This is one of three short solos I contributed to “Lenox Lane” for my friend @markpontz @ernieball @TwoRockAmps @DiMarzioInc

It is a bailout. Not like 2008. But it is a bailout of the venture capital community + their portfolio companies (their investments). That’s the depositor base of SVB. It is the right thing to do in the moment, but there will be ramifications + new regs. VC’s should say thank you

You know who just worked like crazy to make all lives better, and never talked s**t on anyone, friend or foe? That’s right, President Jimmy Carter. If any politician follows his examples, they’ll get my vote regardless of party. Thank you, President Carter. #JimmyCarter

How is it that a retired sportsman has more class and humanity than literally all politicians? Pay attention people, this is how to be in life. @kaj33 - #pureclass

I love both of these boys so much.
Playing sports may not help build character, but it does reveal character. Lucas Lacina, a high school wrestler with cerebral palsy, pinned his opponent for the win.

I had to put on outside pants today. I’m not particularly happy about that.
