    Good day one and all. Welcome to the start of yet another week! Hopefully Lady Monday is not too cruel a mistress to you. My three day stretch is done and now I’m off for a couple. And not a moment too soon, I dare say. Why “Mechaphysical” you might be asking. Well, why not?…

    Good morning and welcome to Sunday, everyone! Hope the weekend has treated you all well and it’s been an enjoyable, relaxing one. One more shift to go and then I get my next taste of freedom. Working every other weekend has its downside, but the 5 days off the next week help make up for…

    It used to be so easy, you know? All I had to do was show up with a contract and they’d sign without fail. Like that Johnson kid. All I had to do was wait at the crossroads, parchment in hand, and it was a done deal. Man, could he play a mean guitar. Okay,…

    If anyone needs more than one guess to figure this one out, well…clearly you have not been paying attention. 😆 Yes indeed, it was Van Halen on their 2015 tour, which sadly, turned out to be their last. It was a beautiful night out, and they sounded great. And thanks to Wolfgang Van Halen picking…

    Sounds like a sentence when one says it that way 😆 Honestly, not much. When you’re a creature of the night, it’s hard to connect with the rest of the world in general. Nature of the beast and all that. I used to be involved with some non-profits back in the day, but not so…

    Answer # 1 – Eddie Van Halen’s Guitar Tech Now, sadly, this one would require a time machine. That said, I would have loved the opportunity to spend a day seeing the master at work. To touch the instruments that laid down so many killer riffs and solos, and to just be around The Man…

    I think advice and guidance can come from many places.

Elders Of the likely sources, I’m sure a lot of us have parents, grandparents, etc., whom we have…
