This review of Cheap Trick performing Sgt. Pepper’s at Paris Las Vegas on 6/22 and 6/23 was originally posted on the Cheap Trick message boards…been a fun summer so far! I got back from my Las Vegas trip with my two daughters Friday night (6/25). What a great adventure. We started out driving the 760 [...]

Cheap Trick House of Blues Orlando Concert Review 6/4/10

Author: admin, June 14th, 2010

I posted this on Cheap Trick message boards, but decided to add it to my very neglected blog. Got back last Tuesday night from vacationing in Florida with my daughters, so sorry for the delayed HOB review. This spring I considered bringing the kids to Disney World right after school got out at the end [...]

An inspiring discussion with novelist Traci Slatton

Author: admin, January 27th, 2010

Today my guest is Traci L. Slatton, author of the novel Immortal, published by Bantam Dell. Traci, can you tell me a bit about what inspired you to write about a boy who hardly ages, and therefore seems immortal, during the 14th and 15th centuries in Florence, Italy? Immortal is a rags-to-riches-to-burnt-at-the-stake story. It’s a [...]

The Healing Power of Rock ‘n’ Roll

Author: admin, January 5th, 2010

Back in 2007, I wrote an essay that won an honorable mention in the Writer’s Digest 76th Annual Writing Competition. I didn’t have this blog at the time, so I thought I’d share it as a reminder of the impact music can have on our lives. The Healing Power of Rock ‘n’ Roll “This is [...]

fiZ Helps Heal the World with Music

Author: admin, December 12th, 2009

Today I’m discussing the healing power of music with the talented visionary and musician fiZ. First things first. How did you get the name fiZ? What does that symbolize? Do you prefer to be called Tony or fiZ, or don’t you care? I’ve always had nicknames. I don’t know why, but friends and family always [...]

The Phi of Numerology, Music, and Synchronicity

Author: admin, December 6th, 2009

This blog I’m exploring a few numbers in Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code, my book, I Found All the Parts, and another fascinating novel I recently devoured, The Ezekiel Code. Numbers became a big deal for me on my journey with rock music. Shortly after my awakening, the number “four” camped out in my brain [...]

The Lost Symbol meets Rock ‘n’ Roll: Dr. ROBERT Fludd and the Rosicrucian BROTHERhood

Author: admin, October 26th, 2009

This is the second blog comparing my spiritual journey with a famous rock band to concepts in Dan Brown’s The DaVinci Code and The Lost Symbol. Last post I discussed the connections to Heiros Gamos, the Tarot, and TBIF’s (the band I follow) motif of a black and white checkerboard. This time, I’ll cover a [...]

The Lost Symbol Meets Rock ‘n’ Roll

Author: admin, October 14th, 2009

The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown’s follow-up to The DaVinci Code, is fast-paced and filled with mega spiritual/esoteric references. Brown doesn’t stray from his best-selling formula that made The DaVinci Code so popular, and despite the entire story being highly implausible, it’s still a fun read. But this is not a review of Brown’s book. It’s [...]

Author Hunt Henion talks about his latest book The Don Q Point of View

Author: admin, June 15th, 2009

Hi Hunt, why don’t you tell me a bit about your new book, “The Don Q Point of View.” It tells Cervantes’s stories about Quixote from Q’s perspective. It also discusses his commitment to The Impossible Dream in a way that I hope makes it relevant for today. More here: http://www.shiftawareness.com/donq.html When did you first [...]
