		<title>Live or sequenced keyboards?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve seen a few bands in Austin and I wanted to see if I could come to a resolution regarding my opinion of &#8220;live&#8221; keyboards versus &#8220;sequenced&#8221; keyboards in a cover band.
Band #1 used sequenced keyboards.  They performed the songs really well, the keyboard patches were accurate and they had all of the parts nailed.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>RIP Peter Steele</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The loss of Peter Steele is flooding my head with memories.  I don&#8217;t even know where I would be without Type O Negative.
The video for &#8220;Christian Woman&#8221; came on Headbangers Ball one night in late 1993 and I could not have been more disturbed.  It was the most terrifying video I had ever seen.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Austin rocks!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello Austin Texas!  We got down here on Thursday, April 1st and have been running around ever since.  The funny thing is, we haven&#8217;t even scratched the surface of what this beautiful city is all about, but we&#8217;re getting there.  It sure feels like home though.
I&#8217;ve begun the process of looking for a band, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflecting on Rockfist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I intended to include this list in my &#8220;Rockfist Announcement&#8221; post, but things didn&#8217;t exactly go as planned in the end.  I will say that there were more good times than bad, so I am going to take some time to reflect on the good.  This isn&#8217;t a list of &#8221;things I miss about Rockfist,&#8221; but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keyboards Part III: the Epicurean Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Technically, there was a &#8220;solo-era&#8221; between Lorde of all Desires and Epicurean, but since I will be re-visiting the solo material very soon, I&#8217;ll dive right into Epicurean.  Gotta keep the book open, but I will write about the period between Lorde and Epicurean in the coming week.
A Brief History:
Epicurean started out with John Gensmer (drums), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oceanfront Land in Vermont</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Buster Olney from ESPN posted a response to an email I had sent him in this mornings blog.  (must be an ESPN Insider to view the full blog post)
Perhaps you can shed some light on this. I&#8217;ve read various articles over the last few days that have confused me. An example would be &#8220;Mets &#8216;absolutely [...]]]></description>

Greetings friends and fans of Rockfist! I wanted give you an update from Rockfist land. Many of you know that I’ve been tossing this around for quite some time, but after much thought, I have decided it is best for me to leave the band.  Finding [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keyboards Part II:  The Lorde of all Desires Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My years in Lorde of all Desires started with a rather limited knowledge of keyboards.  Not really knowing anything more than the sounds I would need for the band, I went to Aabe&#8217;s Music in Richfield to see what they had to offer.  I figured someone there would know what I was shooting for.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>A-Rod and Steroids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, let me say that I listen to &#8220;MLB Home Plate&#8221; on XM Radio every single day.  I probably listen to it more than music, to be honest with you.  At least two hours a day.
That being said, I knew the airwaves would be flooded with A-Rod talk.  (if you&#8217;re just finding this out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I will be doing a 5-part blog on the keyboards I have used over the last several years, focusing on Lorde of all Desires, Epicurean, Rockfist and Shadowchase.  My first blog will be on my journey into the world of keyboards.
My high school band (The Accolade) is where I began to do a little more [...]]]></description>
