The Bluesky account of The Wild Koba, the namesake of a ridiculous rock band from NYC. Music. Immigration Law. Baseball. Hockey. Texas barbecue. Opinions my own. A groove this funky is on the run!

Just discovered that @freealbumcodes.bsky.social is a thing, so let me jump in. Here are 10 codes for my EP, "Hesitate. Seem Sorry." Heavy. Proggy. Funky. You decide. Holla if you use a code!

To celebrate the snow on the East Coast, here's a video of a song I wrote about snow (sort of) entitled "Storm Cloud". Dig!

In other guitar news, I'm going to bring my Ibanez RG550 back to life soon. She's been semi-retired living in Texas, but I think I'm going to get her back into service.

Dreamt last night about playing 2nd guitar for the band English Teacher. We were in a gym and I was struggling with a borrowed effects setup. One set of pedals was in front of my spot onstage, while another was on the opposite side.

20 yrs ago today, my boss was driving me home from work.

“What’re you doing tonight?”
“I’m watching the Rangers. They’re retiring the number of a really important player. I tried to get tickets but it’s been sold out for months.”

This is exactly how I was able to help some of my clients last year. Whatever it takes!

Fascinating read if you're a David Bowie fan.

I waffled about buying a new gig bag for one of my guitars. The one I had been eyeballing was holding steady at $99 on Reverb...until last night when it went up to $120.

Just had the pleasure of sitting in for a couple of tunes with the fantastic Mike and the Burn-Alls. And really, if you ever hear that Will Owen Gage is in your town, run don’t walk to see him play guitar. He’s brilliant.

Messing with a mini pedalboard I have here, only to discover that my fuzz is dead. Even though it was a cheap one off and not the end of the world, I’m kicking myself for not packing more fuzzes like I said I would. Whoops.

En route to Austin, where it’s currently 67 degrees but I’m verrrry jealous of the potential snow bomb NYC might get tonight.
No changes to the going forecast.

Special props to the random airport guy with a wheelchair. He took my folks and I through BWI security and straight to the gate. A saint, he is!

Student: Wait, what year did you graduate from here? (N.B.: I’m an alum of the school where I work)

Me: 1888.

Student (typing on calculator, looks up shocked): Wait! There’s no way you could’ve graduated in 1888!

Re-listening to Roger's "In The Flesh" live album, and good god Doyle Bramhall II is just FILLLLLLTHY!

October 2027. Mets vs BoSox, WS Game 7 bottom 9th. Williams again tips his changeup to Alonso, who proceeds to hit a meatball over the Monster to win it all. Pete becomes Boston legend, and I'll be putting my head in the first oven I find. Just you wait.

This is freaking incredible
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
