Even though the show was cut short by almost an hour due to lightning and heavy rains, they played all the hits, and I left feeling satisfied.

Joshua Baez did something NO OTHER player has ever done: 3 home runs in his FIRST THREE major league at bats!!! (BEST parts: his family was there AND he did it against the Cubs at Wrigley!) #baezbomber #22 #joshuabaez #gamechanger #myhero #cardinals #stlcards

Recently, I was fortunate enough to get a glimpse behind the scenes at “The Perch” area Cardinals Insider booth at Busch Stadium!

If you live within 250 miles of the St. Louis Arch, downtown Missouri, you are well-aware of the classic rock radio station.

Show me what you got to share about THIS classic brand…

Even if it’s 100 degrees outside, Charlee loves her morning sun to get the day started!

Charlee loves her corner spot on the couch, on HER sheet, with the fan blowing on her…

Photos taken at the Bottleneck Bar inside Ameristar Casino on Friday, August 7th. Great show, captains!

LIFE IS GOOD (especially in daddy’s spot)!

Here’s a cool map I found on the side of a building in Defiance, Missouri, showing a 237-mile hiking and biking section of the famous Katy Trail. Do YOU know the significance of this trail? Have you ever hiked any portion(s) of it???

Have you tried their pies yet?

August 1, 1981 — At 12:01 a.m., a brand-new cable channel called MTV officially signed on with five unforgettable words:

"Ladies and gentlemen... rock and roll."

Those words were followed by a montage of the Apollo 11 moon landing, the planting of an MTV flag on the lunar surface, and a new era in popular music.

Did You Know?

The famous quote "One small step for man..." was originally planned for MTV's opening sequence, but producers couldn't secure permission to use Neil Armstrong's words. Instead, they substituted a simple electronic beep before unveiling the now-iconic MTV flag…

The very first music video ever broadcast was The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star," followed by Pat Benatar's "You Better Run." It was a fitting beginning for a network that would soon transform how artists were discovered, promoted, and remembered.

Ironically, only a few thousand cable subscribers in northern New Jersey were able to watch MTV on that first day. The broadcast itself was far from polished—employees manually loaded videotapes into VCRs, and the screen occasionally went black between videos.

Yet MTV's impact was immediate.

Artists receiving little attention from traditional radio—including Men at Work, The Human League, and Bow Wow Wow—found enthusiastic new audiences through music videos. Within a few years, a strong video became just as important as a hit song, changing the careers of everyone from Michael Jackson and Madonna to Duran Duran, Prince, Bon Jovi, and countless others.

Forty-five years later, MTV's launch remains one of the most influential moments in music and television history—a cultural turning point that forever changed the relationship between artists, fans, and the music they loved.

There were 5 original VJ’s at the helm: Martha Quinn, Alan Hunter, JJ Jackson, Mark Goodman and Nina Blackwood. I thought they had to be some of the coolest people on the planet back then. Which one was YOUR fave???

Charlee girl, did you see a bug? Get that buggie and save me, kitty!

Somehow, I just can’t even be mad at her!

What a show.
I’ve been an Airbourne fan since 2013, when I first saw them at INmusic Festival while working as part of the festival production crew.

I still remember standing there during load-in and soundcheck, thinking, “This is going to be one of those shows I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” And yes, my mind was blown away and still remember it like it was yesterday.

Thirteen years later, I found myself photographing for one of my all-time top five bands.

Life really does write some incredible stories.

I do not have any children, but this must be what unconditional love…is all about: slow blinks, cozy purrs, and the endless pursuit of Charlee, my kitty’s, ultimate happiness! (Can you see her tail wrapped around my leg?)

Whether it’s her poppa or momma, she loves a cozy elbow spot!
