Had a great time at Whiskey Stop in East Moline as the Mississippi Valley Blues Society brought in Dustin Arbuckle and the Damnations. Check them out on your favorite streaming service or YouTube. Great dudes!
I did a little profile of them for the news last week.

Welcome to my "TV" page. We're going to be talking about the "60 Mile Challenge" on TV, so it was time for me to build this page. I'm at a shade over 4 miles already on day 1. I had my heart attack in 2018 and I've tried to help the Heart Association every since, including sharing my story a while back. Hope you'll do a few miles with me this month!
