Over a year of procrastinating is more than enough, so I suppose I should get this site started back up. Welcome to those very few of you who are actually stopping by in the early stages of the new "incarnation" of my blog. I'm Ryan - a shit-talking, music-making, Cleveland-sports-fiending web junkie with a trombone and enough knowledge to be considered mildly dangerous.

Here, you'll see my thoughts, advice and rants about music & the music industry, nerd life, my overall experiences in playing with and co-managing my new band, and whatever else stirs me to write at the time. It may not seem very exciting right now, but trust me - that's just an illusion.
