Podcast Waffle House Armageddon – A Podcast Debut As I sit down to write this post, I’m entering my fourth week of working from home and observing my community’s shelter in place mandate. Like many of you, the explosion of “at home” time has led me to tackle quite a few projects.
Banter Bourbon & Banter with Branford Marsalis In the summer of 1987, my cousin Joe took me to the Newport Jazz Festival at the Fingerlakes in upstate New York. It was there he introduced me to the music of Branford Marsalis. I was mesmerized and thus began a lifelong appreciation of Marsalis’s music and his commentary.
Banter Bourbon, Banter & Jazz with Sean Jones A friend of mine recently told a group of musicians “you never know how you touch people.” That’s often the case with musicians, especially jazz musicians.

The more time I spent with it, the more I enjoyed it as it has a unique nose and flavor profile that I don’t find often.
Banter From Coke to Cask Strength – Part Two As with most people who visit the bourbon trail, they have a personal connection to certain distilleries and the people who work there. For Kevin, that indeed was the case & it helped shepherd him along at a remarkable pace regarding what his palate enjoyed.
Banter From Coke to Cask Strength – Part One My only experience is bourbon & Coke.” That was the answer when I asked Kevin, who purchased a VIP trip to the Bourbon Trail, what he typically drank. My organization (Jazz St. Louis) auctioned off a trip to the trail, guided by yours truly, as a fundraising item.
Banter Blinded By The Hype One of my least favorite things is what I like to call the “hype” formula. People go crazy over a bottle, which leads to other people going crazy over that bottle, and eventually, the hype gets to a level where everyone just runs out and buys that latest.
