Give to Live
I was driving between client meetings the other day and on my Sirius radio a classic favourite of mine came on the radio. I usually listen to Buzzsaw or Hair Nation on Sirius, these are channels 19 and 23. OK, for those new readers of my blog I am a classic metal head from the ...
Security in today’s flat world

Happy Victoria Day – Rock Stars and Orchestras
