Depending on a person's perspective, a city can either be a prison or a playground. When I was a young man, New York City was my playground. It was a different world in the 80's. NYC was dangerous, exciting, cutting edge. When Disney came along and cleaned up 42nd St., I knew it was the end of an era. I've often maintained that when you take the sleaze and crime from a city, it often loses its soul. Not to forget that from manure grows vegetation that nourishes. When they took the 'manure' from NYC, it stopped growing. It stopped being an amazing organic entity that had a life and spirit of its own.

Hi folks! Welcome to my new video series 'Love Is Contagious: The Livestream Covideo Series.' These performances are ripped from live home concerts I've been doing on Facebook. There will be a lot more to come. If you want to actively watch or just put the music on in the background for a daily life soundtrack, either way, enjoy!

This song has a distinct New Orleans vibe. I never asked our vocalist/lyricist, Cav, whether there's an actual bar in N.O. called The Three Legged Dog but I certainly wouldn't be surprised.

So, I suppose I was complaining of Facebook about how contemporary hip hop just pisses me off. A friend of mine sent me a YouTube of the tracks to Walk It Talk It minus vocals and suggested I go into the studio and lay down some guitars over it. Turns out, the chord progression is very nice. So it was pretty inspiring for me to lay down the guitar. I have no idea what Migos would think of this. Either way, help me make this go viral!

Even if it's not possible to have a white Christmas in Los Angeles, all our Christmases are bright. Enjoy this Vince Guaraldi classic from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
