Cliff Just How Bad is the Economy?

Did you hear about this story. An exotic dancer in Akron, Ohio, gets probation after she stabs her co-worker in the face with a stiletto heel. That’s bad enough, but here’s the kicker. The co-worker was 52 years old and this was her first day on the job. Seems the dancer wielding the shoe didn’t think the owner needed to hire any more dancers. Just how bad is the economy when a 52 year old has to take a job as an exotic dancer? Continue

Cliff Halloween Costume

For Halloween I'm planning on going as the tattered economy. I'm working on my costume right now, something a little tattered and raggedy, maybe with a pit bull chasing me down the street. Of course there won't be any treats, because they will already have been dispensed to Bank of America, IAG, and the other greedy fat cats. Continue

Cliff Spike Lee vs Tyler Perry

So Spike Lee has once again opened his mouth and shoved his good sense in. Should we countenance his statements about "coonery and bufoonery as regards Perry's movies?" Here's the deal, we get the movies that we want. How? Well, when Tyler Perry's first Ma'dear movie came out, if it were not such a hit and if thousands had not voted for it, with their attendance at the theatres, how many more Ma'dear movies do you think Tyler would have produced. Here's another thing. In times of crisis,econom… Continue

Jimmy Lyon Jimmy Lyon Bio

James Douglas "Jimmy" Lyon was born on May 22, 1955, in Tampa, Fla. The youngest of three children, Jimmy moved from Tampa to Virginia at age 2. In 1963, the family moved to the East Bay area near San Francisco, where Jimmy would begin his musical career. He witnessed The Beatles first performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, which inspired a generation. Jimmy's first instrument of choice was the drums, but being an apartment dweller, an acoustic guitar made more practical sense. Jimmy played guita… Continue

Sean O'Rourke Out of Hand band archive '89

I kept an old cassette of myself playing with the Out of hand band in Keywest circa '89. It has Randy Lewis, Bobby Gaines, Elmo Whooton, myself and Tom Grose on it. We were playing Sloppy Joes at the beginning of what turned into a four year house gig for me. This is us after about a month together. Bear in mind it's from a cassette running through a very old and crusty Peavey board with "30 fans blowing at us from above the stage. You can download the files at http://www.seanorourke.com/outofh… Continue

Savannah Taylor Get A Super Low Cost Website!

If you don't have your own website to promote yourself or your product yet, you can get one for almost no money. I used to burn CD's, print fancy promo sheets, pay for photos to give a slick promo pack to club owners, only to have them never look or listen. So I put it all on the internet. People will go to a site and click before they'll read or stick a CD in the player. Plus, your fans can always find where you're playing. Guess it's a sign of the times... If you're the DYI type, and know how… Continue

Van Miller New Energy Drink Club

Hi all, I'm usually not one who goes in for energy drinks or multi level marketing schemes. This one is the exception to the rule. It is called "Efusjon". It is a truly healthy energy drink and also offers an opportunity to make substantial compensation for spreading the word about it to fellow musicians. A friend of mine turned me on to it and he's done very well in just a couple of months. The founders of this company include a former Microsoft exec and the founder of Facebook. There is going… Continue
