Hidee hey, dear friends and readers!

I’ve been more inactive here at Roads Lesser Traveled, mostly due to the fact outside of the normal daily-do, I’m writing my fool head off, as you can infer from prior posts. My productivity has spiked and while I’m taking a few days to cool my jets while continuing on the next project I started, I’m pushing my work out there relentlessly. I have a couple of appearances upcoming and lots of good things cooking.

Here in this picture, I’m online with Jack Mangan and my fellow panelists, Mark Pruett, Bert Edens and RD Rivers for an amazing SLAM summit podcast done this past Monday, where we hit on the music industry, horror, writing, changes in media technology and even whiskey, lol. Jack has a righteous thing going on here with SLAM, a non-profit organization tackling mental health and survival issues inside the music industry such as suicide, substance abuse, band infighting and self-destruction. Past guests of SLAM have included former Megadeth, F5, The Lucid and Deith bassist David Ellefson and ex-Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell. It’s my absolute honor to to participate in SLAM.

Stay tuned for more goodness and frivolity to come here at Roads Lesser Traveled. If you want more details about what I’ve got going, head over to my Substack and hit the subscribe button to latch onto “Lucky Burns with Ray Van Horn, Jr.” I’ve been averaging a newsletter per week titled “Great Fraggin’ Life” and dropping other stuff here and there.
