    NGD Strandberg

    I have had some neck/arm/wrist issues over the past couple years that have severely limited my playing time. I have small hands and have always had to contort a bit to get my wrist and fingers in position to barre chords etc. To keep everything in context, I play sitting down. I have always had...

    RIP John Warren Geils Jr.

    Another sad day for rock legends and fans. One of the founding members and namesake for the J. Geils Band has passed. He was 71. I have seen hundreds of acts over the years and J.
