Welcome to my personal blog where I share true stories from a lifetime of playing accordion, teaching students, and performing across Texas, Canada, and beyond. From wild nights at the Broken Spoke to quiet teaching moments that light up a student’s face, from brushes with legends to road adventures that I’ll never forget — these are the real stories behind the music. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed living them.Feel free to browse by category or just scroll down to the latest posts. Over the years I’ve collected dozens of true stories — some funny, some touching, and all of them real. This blog is my way of sharing those special moments with you. Whether you’re an accordion player, a fellow musician, a student, or just a lover of good Texas music, I hope these tales bring a smile and maybe even a little inspiration.
