Each Day is a Soufflé
I admit: have never made a soufflé. I am not a good cook. I am founder and curator of The Burnt Food Museum (http://www.BurntFoodMuseum.com.) But I understand that cooking is a metaphor for life. Each day is like a recipe and the order in which you do things can...
The Superstar Adventure (or Ferry to Estonia)
We slept in an urban courtyard in Helsinki on the tour buses ’til 5AM, then drove to the harbor, and got to customs some time before 7:30. Everyone left the bus – I grabbed my fanny pack at the last minute, not sure why. I assumed we’d all get off the bus for...
Helsinki: Build Whispering Pancakes
I’m sitting on the pavement in an empty courtyard where the tour-busses are parked. I’m outside the bus because I can’t think inside with all the conversations. “The Circus” is the name of the club where we played tonight in Helsinki, Oct. 23rd, 2012. I’m...
Traipsing to Tampere
We’re leaving Helsinki and traveling to Tampere, an hour or so away – but still in Finland – for our first show. As I checked out of the hotel, I learned my luggage has just arrived at the airport, but there’s no time to get it, today, so I won’t see it...
From Home to Helsinki

Home is …
I’ve been on tour with a rock band for the last two months, watching the legendary Steve Vai every night from my spot (behind him and eight feet to his left) – and sharing the stage with four other stellar musicians: Philip Bynoe -bass, Dave Weiner – guitar, ...
Capturing Experiential Resonance
This year’s adventure is joining legendary guitarist Steve Vai on tour for 100 shows in nearly 30 different countries of North America & Europe. That’s an energy I want to capture. And I’ve come up with a plan to do it. Our last show is Dec....
A Marvel of Sheep
I don’t know where we are – somewhere between Denver and Boise — but I just woke up early (10:30 AM – it’s early, on a tour-bus), opened the bus curtains and saw … sheep. Sheep running by the side of a two-lane road, with cowboys on horses and herding-dogs. my...
