Welcome to another edition of Lyric Today/Hear it Tomorrow. I'm Dr. BLT and I'll be your The Ice and Snow CD won't be complete without the addition of a prospective "hick" hop hit. That's what I'll try to achieve with this song, inspired by a notation on a Christmas...

Are you one of those fools, like me, who can't wait to begin playing Christmas music until the socially accepted period beginning around the day after Thankgiving?
Well, now there's a song that you can play that will silence your critics. It's a Christmas song, but it's also a...

Merry Christmas is a greeting that can be uttered in many ways, some verbally, and some non-verbally. Acts can be more powerful than verbal greetings, and nothing says MERRY CHRISTMAS more than doing just the right thing at the right time for that special person(s).

It's been kind of a whirlwind romance with brand new, original Christmas songs. This year, I woke up with a new one bouncing around in my head almost every morning. The end result was my most successful CD release parties to date, the first, on December 1st at Russo's Books, and the...

Bakersfield is a small town. You never know just which big rock star(s) you'll run into.
Just a few months after I stumbled across ex-Korn Nu metal guitar sensation cum New York Times bestselling author, Brian "Head" Welch, and interviewed him, I stumbled across another local...

Most of my Christmases have been nearly picture perfect. But there are at least a couple that I'd rather forget. One of those was the Christmas of '85 when my then girlfriend and I broke up just a few days before Christmas. I went through the motions, but clearly lost my Ho-ho...

Although she's much too young to read, this diary is for my daughter's eyes only, for the sake of posterity. But one thing she will realize about her daddy as time moves on is that he didn't mind sharing his musical journey with other travelers.
It's Sunday, December...

I've been performing outdoors at Starbucks for about 10 years (including the one in Sacramento). Once in awhile, they invite me in for an "official" show. December 20, 2007 at 7 pm at Starbucks at the Rosedale Highway Target/Coles shopping center, will be one of those...

Well, this year's Christmas CD is complete, but that hasn't stopped me from beginning next year's Christmas song. This original Dr BLTune is called Christmas on the Farm. I posted this sample for a brief period one day and then brought it down because I wanted to add some guitar...

If you want to know, on the day of this, the official release of my new Christmas CD, Certified Gold, Incense and Myrrh, who one of the big influences and sources of inspiration has been, it's been Johnny Cash. And this song pays tribute to him accordingly.
It's one of 23 songs...

Well, the guest on this new addition to the Certified Gold, Incense and Myrrh CD is known for being unknown and wished to maintain her anonymity. This is one of the few songs on the CD that is a cover, and not an original. But I'm sure you'll agree that it is an original arrangement...

That's right, so confident, I'm willing to put money on it----not necessarily that you'll agree that the CD is incredible, or the song, for that matter, but that the song is called Incredible.
