Rockin Rob.......tweet, tweet, tweet.

Ki has a little buddy from school who's dad plays little concerts for kids. At first it sounds kind of hokey and cheesy, much like the dreaded kids bop cd's. It is actually quite the opposite. He does sing and play the traditional kids songs, but with a cool upbeat twist and alternate arrangement. He's a super cool dude that truly enjoys what he does and really gets the kids involved.

Anyhow, Saturday he played a little show for his cd release party at a little winery in town. We got to witness his energy and watch the kids get completely wrapped up in the music. Cool stuff for a music lover like myself. We also got to taste some local wines that were brewed up basically in our backyard. Check him out at http://www.rockinrobsings.com/.

The Only Living Boy In New York

I heard this song for the first time in a long time last night while the TV was on. I was in another room and just froze when I heard it. Do you ever have those surreal moments when you just stop and take a minute to remember where you have heard or witnessed something. Well this song reminds of sitting around on a cold and rainy sunday afternoon and listening to old vinyl with my dad. I'd give anything to have one of those days back. Enjoy and make your own memories.

I may have just conquered mobile blogging.

I have been trying to get pics to upload to my blog and with this last test may have stumbled on to something. Here goes nothing.

The 98% Finished Feature Wall

Well here it is. The 98% finished reclaimed wood feature wall in the basement. Gone are the red walls, gone is the beer decor, and gone is the old school big screen television. I think it turned out pretty cool. I'm yet to find a media cabinet for the tv, sooooo it looks like a new project will be firing up soon.

So I Jumped The Fence And Yelled To The House, Hey What Gives You The Right

A good friend of mine owns a fence building company and builds beautiful fences. Mainly residential, at times a commercial one comes along, and my favorite of all the tear downs. Some people have old fences that need to be torn down to have a nice new shiny one put in it's place. I occasionally stop by his house to say hi or let the kids play and occasionally he has a trailer full of old scrap wood. If this was cartoon you would see a lightbulb go on above my head. As soon as I see old barns, heaps of old wood waiting to get burned, or in most recent cases, trailers full of old wood I get all excited. I start thinking how can I use this again, re purpose it, rebirth it, re-whatever else I can re-create with it. I have built a few things lately out of reclaimed wood and I think it is my new favorite material to build with. Everyone that knows me knows I like modern design, but this old new wood gives a different look to the modern world of design. I love the clean lines of a room and then a haggard old re purposed piece of furniture or art that makes a statement. As for now a few projects are being finished and pics are soon to follow. Stay tuned as I am working as fast as I can.
