THE LAST MAN’S LAST STAND The Last Man is dying by inches.  He stares at the ceiling between naps, the bustle of a busy hospital around him occasionally causing him to jump and jerk out of uneasy slumber.  His eyes, still bright blue after 96 and a half years of remarkable life, grow large as […]

Memories Reach Millions of Miles  – Now on You Tube and jonchandler.com Songwriting is an always arduous, sometimes rewarding, and ultimately subjective exercise.  A few years ago, I characterized it in my song Be On My Way like this:  Two hundred words, spaced in a row/enough to ignore, too much to let go/that’s all there […]

I have a very cool show coming up on Friday, August 19 in Palmer Lake, CO.  I’ll be joining my Detroit-based friends Jamie-Sue Seal and John Latini in concert at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts.  Jamie-Sue and John appeared on America’s Soul Live last year, and the audience loved ’em.  They’re touring Colorado again […]
