Hey all! Another Update on my healing journey. Yesterday I I got my splint off and stitches out which was honestly the best thing that could of happened. My stitches kept getting caught in the loose splint and it was annoying and painful. Now I have a hard cast and it's more stable as I continue to do more. As I start teaching private lessons again and get out of the house more it helps to have a solid protection around my ankle. Keep staying tuned as the next step in a few

Have you Ever had a chunky bar? a square delicious bite of Chocolate peanuts and raisins... almost perfect flavor combo. I love them because my Dad used to buy them as hit favorite! Its like your grandmas Bridge mix but better! A few years ago Martin bought (me) Phillips a Box of Chunky Bars off Amazon.... This year for my B day the tradition Continues !!! Im putting this box on our Amazon page! (see old post for link) #candy #chunky #bday #iamdynamite #grandma #dad #favori

Hey everyone! I wanted to fill you in on a freakin Crazy Week! Pictures do follow First my son Got a Penis shaped straw for Valentine day (yes he is 6 years old) Apparently there's a pack you can buy on Amazon that has a blatant dick and balls. After that craziness, I had to deal with a Bully on one of my daughters soccer team (don't worry I didn't punch an 11 yr old), But Im dealing with that issue currently. Wednesday I received a call from the MAN at Yamaha drums and asked

Hey all I hope you have a great Christmas and a happy New year! I found the Live Footage of the First time we did a show with Bon Jovi, back in 2017. We actually won a contest to be the local opener in Detroit since Martin still lived in Michigan thats where "home" was. Little known fact, Chris and I hadn't seen or played music with each other for like 2 or 3 months before this show... we kinda figured the band was fizzling away into band Heaven. But we were able to get a vo

Well if you saw the instagram post (@dynamiteduo) you saw that I am in a Boot for 2 weeks. So, 5 years ago I was hit by a closing gate right on my achilles tendon... it did not feel good. Nothing actually happened outside of some bruising. About 3 months ago I started limping and it got really tight and hard to walk up stairs so I went to the Doc at Duke Health. X-rays showed a bone spur shaped like Massachusetts pointed stright out (not like the pick pelow) so they prescrib

Well I was not in Rome.... but San Diego. My wife and I finally were able to get away for a Wedding weekend of our friends. Covid had postponed this wedding 2 or 3 times.... so it finally happened. I haven't been in SD since Chris and I would play 91X shows! (man i miss playing there, hopefully soon) ((CALL 91X and request Corner Street)) We had a great run out there with several House of Blues shows, X fest 2013, Shock Top and Jimmy Johns acoustic lounge, and A trolley Show.

This Past weekend Chris and I went back to MI to attend a "Celebration of Life" for our friend Casey who past away recently (See blog entry below). We actually avoided Hurricane Ian hitting the east coast after ravaging Florida by only a few hours. While I was there my Wife and I visited a new Taco Bus Named "1923" on its 3rd day of business (see article below). 1923 is owned by my friend from way back, playing around southeastern MI days with his band Belikos, Aaron and his

We always thought it was Fun to haul up people on stage and make them play with us! So we started playing "Walk like an Egyptian" by "the Bangles". Then back in 2015 or 16 we finally recorded our version of it out in LA with our friend Stephan (A.k.a Justified Noise) producing. We didnt do anything with it till 2019 when we released it out of nowhere! Chris and I were still trying to figure out if we were going to keep going in this band or not at that time, so to have somet

I just watched the Fresh Prince Reunion on HBO max after #theslap and it reminded me of this Fan Video #carltonbanks #hilo #iamdynamite #dance #fanvid #willsmith #freshprince

Martin and I went to Drive Shack today! I was impressed to Martins soft swing yet the power he hits the ball with.... If you don't know what Drive Shack is its like Top Golf ... If you don't know what Top Gold is is like a 3 Story Driving Range with Games, Drinks, and Great Food! Lunch Review: Pulled pork Grilled Cheese. It was a lovely Crunchy meat filled cheese bomb. Bread to mean ratio could have been more balanced but the flavors were spot on. I do recommend the pretzels
