In the Mind of Nate

Hello, I am sitting on the plane on my way back home and decided to finally write something new. I know it’s a recurring theme here. Enough though, I should have written a little each day of the trip. Especially since this is a destination, I have longed to go to for as long as I can remember, Ireland . Of course, this has everything to do with it being part of my family’s heritage. But you probably already knew that if you have been reading my posts and or following the band. With everything going in the world and the everyday concerns about money, the future of the economy and what not, most people always feel they cannot afford to take such a trip. I said to myself, I can’t afford not to. Yes, it is a huge expense and undertaking travelling for so many hours and be away from home. But you cannot put a price on an experience like this. Nothing can replace giving my mother the Birthday experience she wanted most (which was the inspiration of this entire trip in the fi...

We are proud to let you know that we new music for you, sort of. A call from an old friend has prompted me to take another look at our song Red Devil, and the end result is this. A new version of the song we call : Red Devil 2024. This version has a slightly different arrangement and is of much better sound quality as you will hear if you take the time to do so.

Especially last week I’m sitting here writing this thinking that this time last week I wouldn’t even be awake for another hour and a half. Seriously, after eight hours of driving with only a few breaks, it was some much-needed rest. Not that I’m complaining of course. I made these plans and chose to have these endeavors. And if I was complaining, that would totally contradict the point of this entry. I am speaking specifically about the topic of my last entry (which was actually the press release I wrote, with a few corrections) the Annual Bravofest show I have been helping put together to help raise funds for the Veteran's Charity Homes For Our Troops by holding a music festival with some of New York's & New England's best independent bands. I will include some pics and all, but I will keep it brief since I do plan t...

Hello All, I know this one is coming to you a bit late this week. There’s been so much going on. And while I should be dozing off because I have a gig early in the day tomorrow, I decided to at least start writing this. Tomorrow is my first official gig of the year with the band. We have a few more planned and since I’m helping coordinate some of them I’ve been busy trying to handle some preliminary business. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how fast time moves. Which is probably why when we get the opportunity to look back at the past, we do it with such nostalgia. Most likely because it was gone in the blink of an eye, without us even taking a quick pause. Those of us who have have seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off know that he told us to do just that. And we probably didn’t even listen.- I had plans to continue this shortly after or the day after the show. But here I am over a week and a half later continuing this while laying on a beach in Jamaica. Thi...

Hello All, I would like to thank everybody that took the time to read my post from last week . I was truly unaware I wasn’t the only one that was having anxious feelings upon our upcoming high school reunion. And I’m glad that we were all able to overcome that and have a good night to remember. Like many other issues that troubles our lives, they are often easier to overcome when you discover other people better dealing with the same problems. After all, the feeling of isolation or lack of understanding only compounds a problem. So “strength in numbers” as they say. I’m still amazed by the fact that, despite all the time that has passed and how we have gone our separate ways, so many of us were in the same place mentally. Maybe this is because we all started off in the same place. Who knows? But I do know that it for me it was not only a great time, but a real eye opener about life in general. I maybe acting a bit dramatic here or taken by how wonderful the reuni...
