If You Get Confused, Listen To The Music Play

Things are slowly moving forward around here.  We got knocked out by the snow, but the diamonds are still coming in.  We just cut a 4.60 carat round diamond into a 3.63 fancy yellow radiant cut that’s now at the lab.  I will post some pix of a before and after very soon. For now, […]

Sure Don’t Know What I’m Going For, But I’m Gonna For It For Sure

Happy New Year!  It was a great year for me personally and for Samuelson’s Diamonds.  We are growing as a company in all directions both locally and online.  In my first post of 2010, what better video to post than one of the Grateful Dead’s most meaningful songs, Saint of Circumstance.  This was performed at […]

Psycho Killers Tonight

Going to see Psycho Killers tonight. It’s pretty cool to see your buddies play in a band that rocks.  I have the privilege of frequent jams with lead guitar/vocalist Jon Wood and percussionist Mikey Barnstein. Check ’em out!

Heller Highwater Rocks Heller’s Wedding

Check out what Heller Highwater would sound like if we had a great singer and a funky sax player.  Mazel Tov Steve and rock on!

Allman Brothers Band 10/6/09

The Allman Brothers rocked it last week at Merriweather Post Pavillion.  Gregg is getting old though – he’s got Gov’t Mule’s keyboard player helping him out, but his voice still sounded good.  Check out this video I took of Woman Across The River.  Warren and Derek are trading some tasty licks – enjoy!

Heller Highwater Goes Into The Studio

Tuesday night my band, Heller Highwater, went into the recording studio to lay down a few tracks.  It was so much fun.  We played a few songs including Suzy Greenberg, Mississippi Morning, Fire Eater, Blowin’ in the Wind, and When I Paint My Masterpiece.  The best song that came out of it was Masterpiece.  The […]

One Of The Greatest Scenes From The Godfather

So I was watching one of my favorite movies last night, Scarface, for the 1000th time, and today I was thinking of my favorite movies.  You know the ones that come on TV and you can’t turn them off no matter how many times you’ve seen them.  Goodfellas, Shawshank Redemption, Casino, Scarface, Fast Times at […]

Was It For This My Life I Sought?

Tomorrow night I got the 2nd row center at Phish.  I’ve been seeing these guys since 1991 but have not seen them in about 10 years.  The big venue/stadium tours weren’t for me, but I am pumped to see the boys tear it up tomorrow night.  Plus I am meeting up with a lot of […]

Happy Birthday Jerry!

Yesterday was Jerry’s birthday – he would have been 67.  I went to see The Bridge and they played a great version of Althea.  Here’s Jerry and the boys doing it.  Check out Jerry’s shiny new custom “tiger” guitar – my favorite. Turn the volume up and enjoy!
