A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

My Life Is A Song #60

June 11, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

I’m sensing a bit of a pattern here.  Apparently the early to mid-nineties were my adventure years with music.  They weren’t terribly experimental years, as I very rarely wandered from the basic rock formula of vocals-electric guitar-drums, but I was managing to collect a few albums by bands not readily sliding off the tongue in […]

My Life Is A Song #46

Whether  standing atop the watchtower reaching for the purple haze or wondering if you’re experienced enough to approach the foxy lady dancing like a voodoo chile alone on the dance floor, everybody loves Jimi Hendrix.  My wife clearly does.  I know; Hendrix and Van Halen, who’d a thunk. I don’t have a great or even […]

My Life Is A Song #42

Alternative Country is a hard genre to figure out.  The label, in light of the music attached to it, seems kind of silly.  Here’s my take on it.  Modern Country music is essentially classic rock ‘n’ roll, complete with screaming electric guitar solos, sung with a twang.  To differentiate from actual rock ‘n’ roll, the […]

December 31, 2015 by acrockofschmidt 1 Comment

Another year is coming to a close which means my mind has been preoccupied with formulating hapless promises that NEXT year will finally be the year I live up to my own expectations.  2015 has been such a strange year for me.  Some major events occurred which will colour my kids’ lives forever, such as […]

My Dad could have been a rock star.  More importantly, I could have been the uber entitled, drug addicted rich asshole son of a rock star.  As I explain here, it was just not meant to be. “I always thought that guitar was a little too rock and roll for me.” – My Dad, 2013 […]

My Life Is A Song #4

Yeah, okay, so this song is kind of cliché to put on a list of great songs.  It’s on every classic rock radio countdown, often in the top ten.  I admit this isn’t exactly an inspired choice or an example of digging deep into a legendary band’s catalogue.  Nonetheless it is a great song, a […]
