Last night at The Fillmore was an enlightening experience for me on so many levels. First of all, I think I’m finally understanding myself and what this event is all about. Every year I have been winging it, flying by the seat of my pants, fingers crossed and wiping the sweat from my brow at the end of each show.

What an honor to be inducted into the BAMMIES Walk of Fame - nothing like being recognized by the your home town! Thanks to Dan Ashley for the great introduction, congratulations to fellow inductee Steven Seaweed, and thanks to Kenny Wardell Sr. for putting it all together.

In 1967 when I first came to San Francisco I knew it was a place for me. There was (and still is) something about the music scene that is not the middle-of-the-road, commercial path. That is the road I am still on. I like where it's taken me thus far, and I am still excited about the road ahead!

Look what showed up in the mail today!

I can truly say I am starting out 2018 refreshed after our Hagar family vacation throughout the world – wow, what an amazing time! We had to refuel the plane just 5 1/2 hours out of Maui in a little funky island called Pago Pago that didn’t even have a tower for the airport, but the Samoan people were super nice! We made it to North East Australia on the Gold Coast where we celebrated Christmas. It was a great first leg of the trip.
