Rock Ghost at Work

The music industry has seen its' share of ups and downs and curves and jiggles, but rarely a blast like it's getting from Walker Caine and the new CD release "Soft Shoulder".

The Walker Caine Project is the work of musicians who have ridden up to 3 decades of the music roller-coaster. What makes this unlikely clan different than any of the thousands of new bands that bombard our ears every day? "Well, we're pretty nonchalant in our outlook and the music is really fairly raw instead of over-processed" says Walker Caine. "We've been there, done that, even sat around and played Joe Suburban executroid; but the music still calls. We're not competing with the kids or targeting any particular age group; we are just taking it back to a basic art form and making it up as we go. It's not a genre, it's an attitude."

'Morning Lark' or 'Night Owl'- What's the Healthiest Sleep Pattern?

Are you a morning person? If you are, then you probably love getting up at the crack of dawn, taking a walk outside in the crisp fresh air, and getting an early start "to beat the rush." Your mornings are extremely productive. On the flip-side, maybe your body is beginning to tire out right when the sun goes down, and you're well off to sleep before the late night talk shows hit the airways.

Or perhaps you're a night owl. After dinner is your best time of day. You're energized and ready to go. As the song says, you love the nightlife and you've got to boogie. Even working through mentally challenging tasks well into the wee hours of the morning is not a problem for you. But when that old alarm clock rings, and rings, and rings, getting out of bed and taking the world in stride for that first few hours of the morning can be tough.
