I didn’t realize how garbage the state of popular rap and music in general was until I heard the so called hits they are using over the PA at the Hawks game. It is indefensible. The bar is so low for music that the #1 Country hit of our generation was a beat some kid …
I just can’t get into this new sh☆t when I go backwards through time. Not so far though. We have only been recording music for about 100 years. People are still alive before a Jazz record even existed. The paradox is that I am asking you listen to my new music, in the world of …
BLACK OUTS: You want to see me dropkick a blackout clause? FYI Morgan Henley Presents knows they are evil too. He is a rare promoter that has never made a band sign one. A National act on the come up emailed me to team up on a Seattle date, in a room I can pack on …
Tim Alexander’s lovely wife apologized to me after the concert. She admitted she didn’t recognize me and marveled at how The Staxx Brothers replaced their singer with another guy that could sound so much like him and had so many of the same moves. She didn’t see the transformation play out on social media so that is …
If The Original Jazz Cabbage works out, that group is going to sharpen my mind and transform me as drastically as you watched my appearance change in the last year or so. I sat there smiling today at two 21 year olds and a 19 year old talking circles around me about theory and chord voicings as …

My hearing has been okay since the implant worked itself out of my head (see old “blood streaming down face” story), but I have problems locating the source of sounds. And sometimes certain frequencies(?) don’t sound right. Yesterday I was in line at the 7-11, and I thought I heard a crying baby some feet …

A dizzying cavalcade of romanticism, literally a catalyst for orgasm around the world. Frejus, France, 1982. Roxy Music’s last tour for 19 years, promoting their new (and last) album, Avalon. More than ten years of evolution – some dramatic, some incremental – behind it. A frontman at the peak of his powers, a peak that …
Hi East Portland Blog, Before I became a songwriter, I grew up with a passion for art in all forms. I studied classical violin starting at the age of 5 and dabbled in saxophone and violin as well as writing and painting. I graduated with a degree in Astrophysics at University of Alberta before realizing I …

I just saw this movie on free tv, the Grit channel. Have you seen it? It amazed me. Old school black comedy. Tight as a drum. They can’t write ’em or act ’em like this anymore.

It seems hard to imagine that an attack on America’s Pacific Coast was ever a serious possibility, but the remains of the forts and coastal batteries at Fort Stevens State Park at the mouth of the Columbia River indicate that such was the case for much of the nation’s history. Whether the enemy might have …
“You can’t help the poor by being one of them.” – Abe Lincoln The well-known, but misquoted verse from the Bible on wealth is not “Money is the root of all evil,” the real quote is, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10) Wealth is actually neutral. Greed is …
The enlightened leader knows that in business, conflicts between workers, customers and vendors are unavoidable and often beyond our control. However, we do have control over our reaction to conflict. The ability to identify and resolve conflict is a key attribute of good leadership. Leaders who cannot resolve office conflicts will risk having their top …
Last week the Evangelical Covenant Church… covchurch.org… (the church in which I was born, raised, and am a current member), dismissed First Covenant Church of Minneapolis from the denomination. First Cov is a historic church, built prior to 1900, and has interesting architecture with a balcony that wraps around the sanctuary on all four sides. …
On a drizzly lunch hour in Bothell, WA I joined a little more than 100 other people to stand on a busy corner to protest Trump’s policy of putting refugee children and adults in separate concentration camps. I learned after the fact that a much larger protest formed in downtown Seattle in front of the …

I hit the ground running. Jogging 4.20 K at Forest Park as I type. Listening to Stones, as Gleaner writer messages me that she went to Port Antonio to interview the legendary Jolly Boys and she slipped in another mention of me. I hit a wall in Seattle. I did. Jimi Hendrix didn’t get very …

And here are all of Davin’s Jamaica posts from 2019, organized with the secret crypto code of DMSJ-2019.
Shooting music videos on the last day I am in Jamaica is quite an undertaking. Run and gun. These are not my videos per say. I wrote and recorded some songs with a dancehall singer and a producer in Port Antonio. I couldn’t make it back there before I left so they came to me. …
A great moment yesterday was sitting down with Chinna as he listened to what we did with his ‘Bush Doctor’ production. It’s been over two years since he produced me. Andrew D.B. Joslyn added strings. An incredible string arrangement. When the strings came in, he just kept saying “maaaaaad”. He was smiling so bright. He gave me …
