Guess who's back?
With work, weight training, and serving an online Messianic synagogue...well, no more.
Kehillat HaDerech YHVH is officially a Messianic Jewish media outreach, and we will return to doing more blogging and podcasting. Already I had started blogging and presenting the foundation for a Kabbalistic study of the Torah. Soon I will post my notes from our look at the weekly Torah reading on the blog.
Not just that but I will go into areas no one wants to say openly in this political and societal hostile environment. A 20th Century rabbi punching the 21st Century in the face with the raw truth and common sense. If you don't like it, then too bad.
Speaking of work, I have to get there but you can visit insightontheword.weebly.com to learn more, and subscribe.

Yes! This is recent but I am trimming myself down to 185! Guys over 50 need to start a training and diet regimen to lose fat and put on lean muscle.
My Training is a combination of wrestling drills using medicine balls with resistance bands and dumbbells in my weightlifting routine as if I am playing American football...not that sissified soccer!

Yeppers! Things are quiet in the music and acting front. I had been handling things at home and Kehillat HaDerech YHVH. However, Lumination is planning to hit the studio for our new jams on the album, Back in Trouble.
Let me just finish up with the compositions first.

We MUST NEVER FORGET this date twenty one years ago. America was attacked!
Today, America is under attack but from within by this thing called Liberalism... ultimately the goal is to make this nation into Socialism, a quiet form of Communism.
Help fight back by voting in November and make America Great Again!
May 24, 2022
It has been really busy for me. With work. Paul Waterstripe Band, Lamination, working out (I am trimming down my winter weight to 180-185 lbs) but, most importantly, serving the Messianic Jewish community at Kehillat HaDerech YHVH as rabbi.
WIll post a new pic of me shortly.
Speaking of the Paul Waterstripe Band, get ready to see us back on Syracuse University, Shifty's, private parties or rallies. Details coming up so visit me often.

Guess who's back, folks? I had been too occupied with a benefit show for a fellow musician and brother from another mother, Jeff Kimpland. He had been recovering from his spinal surgery and he is suffering from major pain. Anyway, we are going to be rocking it at Wunderbar in Syracuse. Hope you will be there Sunday, February 23, 2020 at 6 PM.
Feel free to print this or share this on your Facebook Page or Instagram.
Speaking of Jeff, I will be involved with him as his bass guitarist. That's right! I will be adding this to my musical resume.
I am also writing some new material for a new acoustic jazz CD I am working on apart from Lumination and the Paul Waterstripe Band.
Let me get back at it, but I will see you soon.

Guess who's back? That's right! I had been so occupied with an incredible podcast, Paul Waterstripe Band and writing more music to record with Todd Sundell tonight.
Here are some things you need to know: 1. Kevin Teske is no longer a member of the PWB. 2. The CD, Man That I Am, is finally released and will be made available at our performances or you can go to Google Play, Amazon MP3, CD Baby. Singles are for $.99 but the whole album is $5.00.
Let me get back to watching some shows on my phone. I will be posting another entry later.

This Web site will go through some changes so I am preparing you guys in advance should it be go down for maintenance.
Last night, the Paul Waterstripe Band had returned to Louie's Tavern in Camillus and we did a whole lot better than when we were there the first time, and it was last night that we had added a new member: Kevin Teske, the brother of Channel 9 Storm Team Meteorologist Jim Teske.
We had to let go Michael Popoff because he has a major problem: Alcoholism. It was going to be our problem if we did not stop it.
Sorry that I am keeping it short, but I will get into more details later.

I was way too occupied with things around that I did not get a chance to post this so I need to apologize.
Before I share what's happening with me, I must post this now that Ric Ocasek had now joined Benjamin Orr in the heavenly choir: Ric was not just a musical genius in his own right, but was way ahead of his time with the style of music we hear every time a Cars' song is played.
It was The Cars, among other great acts, that wanted me to pick up the guitar...well, the bass guitar, and perform. I want to continue the legacy Ric and Ben left when I play with Lumination and The Paul Waterstripe Band.
There will never be another songwriter like Ric and for that I want to say to Ric and Ben: Thank you for your body of work and inspiring me to be a musician and radio announcer.
Rock In Peace, And Let The Good Times Roll.
Now the biggest news I will share with you all: Keepin' It Real Podcast is now on iHeartRadio Podcasts. Close to eight months ago I had to do a show apart from WSPJ-FM gig with In The Limelight with D-Man because it is to counter what I had been seeing for some time since returning to radio: conservative radio hosts being silenced or shoved out the door too many times because progressives (communists) don't want to find themselves under scrutiny or defending their political views when the majority of us do not agree at all. This poses a hostile environment to where no civil discourse are allowed by those embracing communism.
Since doing the podcast, I had a good number of people in Syracuse and surrounding areas listening until I had applied for the podcast to have a national venue and, fourteen days later, I did join iHeartRadio...and I could not be happier!!!
Go ahead and subscribe to my podcast by logging on to: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-keepin-it-real-with-d-man-49070693/
Thank you all who had come out in August and September as the Paul Waterstripe Band making our rounds performing publicly and openly...especially the Syracuse University girls who were flashing their fun bags at us.
Don't worry...we will be back but leave your numbers. We need to get a band member a girlfriend real soon.
That's it for now. Heading out...Deuces!!!!

I hate folks who wanted me to be part of a human services agency as music director and peer mentor only to find out that I had to wait for higher ups and to find out folks are in place ahead of some underhanded move though I had written the proposal for the director. To me, this is lying and a deceptive move to make the director look good.
This moron thinks that I have to feel good about all of this. Nope...things are more uneasy for me to even have folks around me.
All of this reminds me that I will limit my role in any human services agency looking for someone to take part in any music activities.
Another thing is that I will not be involved in any plays this year because of my focus with writing new music for Lumination and the Paul Waterstripe Band.
Speaking of the Paul Waterstripe Band, we will be back at the Lebanon Reservoir Campground in Hamilton, NY August 3, 2019. The show will be at 7 pm. Join us and get it on with us.
A new CD from the Paul Waterstripe Band will be released very soon. Keep on the lookout for it.
The band will also be returning to Brown Memorial United Methodist Church and First Erwin Methodist Church in Syracuse. More details will be made available soon so there will be a new page for Tour Date, Venues and Times.

I could say, "Happy April Fools' Day, but I don't have any reason to because we as Americans were being fooled by the Democratic Party for two years. This is the party who cannot accept a loss in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election to then President-Elect Donald Trump (R-New York).
After two years of "investigating" (really a failed political coup conspired by Democrats) and, finally, special counsel Robert Mueller had to admit that Trump campaign did NOT collude with the Russian government in his report.
When the Democrats get the Mueller report and they read it, they better start getting their affairs together. We need to hold those in the Democratic Party responsible and charged with treason, whether they are politicians and members of the media who help.
The biggest problem is they still want to accept the claims of Russian Collusion on the part of President Trump on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS despite otherwise revealed.
No wonder I have my own questions with my role in community radio since it is based on a liberal agenda just like commercial broadcasting companies, and their adamant stance on embracing a socialistic society and system of government. Worse, this machine is trying to shove it down our throats.
NOT TODAY!!!!
I had enough of the lies and it is time for me to expose the lies and dirty tricks the media had pulled by my Keepin' It Real podcast on Podomatic and on http://thedmanspeaks.blogspot.com.
Anyone who loves America, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights and The Truth among disillusioned liberals and independents who were lied to need to join me and share their thoughts or questions on my thoughts on news items that captured my attention, and my response.
Well, back to work on the music and my podcast. Catch you later...DW!!!

We were back at Hendricks Chapel to perform for the Korean Hope Christian Fellowship and we will return be there on the 22nd. I am having a lot of fun rocking with the Paul Waterstripe Band, whether it is worship songs to YHWH or doing songs we grew up hearing.
One thing: Paul and I were going to do The Cars' Shake It Up in a congregation setting. LOL!!!!
Hope to see you there February 22, 2019 at Hendricks Chapel: 6:30 pm to start.

Good morning or Good afternoon to you and yours wherever you are. Paul Waterstripe Band did our thing at Hendricks Chapel in Syracuse University for the folks from Erwin First Presbyterian Church, and we do want to thank them for their invitation to perform and the grub. Next time...have chicken wings! I will bring my hot sauce. LOL!
Talk to you later and, Syracuse, keep warm during this coming storm.

A new year and new opportunities for me! Since being in the Paul Waterstripe Band I had more places to perform but this one is going to be one for the books! Friday night at 6:30 PM we will be playing at Hendricks Chapel in Syracuse University. When Springs comes, we will be doing open shows on the campus. We do have a set ready to go and especially when I get to do songs from my favorite band, THE CARS! Just What I Needed Shake It Up You've All I Got Tonight It's All I Can Do And yep!!! I get to sing and play on bass. By the way, Ric Ocasek, I will make Benjamin Orr (of blessed memory) look good for you. December 1, 2018 Dayum! The secular year, 2108, is about to be drawn to a close but feeling pretty good after performing at Erwin First United Methodist Church in Syracuse...and it is not too far from WSPJ's studio. Anyways, the Paul Waterstripe Band did it again and the congregation welcomed us to fellowship and eat with them. Thank you, chavarim at Erwin First, for allowing us to perform and the grub too. Let me leave you with some pics from last night and I will post again soon. Deuces...Shalom...Whatever...DW! |

Last night, I had a chance to jam and practice with Todd Sundell, and I will be returning to the music scene in Syracuse as I perform with him at Brown Memorial United Methodist Church on South Geddes Street in Syracuse this Sunday. It is all good because it will make him look good for Lumination in so many ways.
I also will be performing with the Unity Band as bass player. After Shabbat service, I will be heading out to rehearse and getting ready to perform on stage. This is going to be fun.
It keeps me occupied from not thinking about my turbulent personal life, especially with my relationship with Joan. I need to be away from the negativity and toxicity she brings.
Well, that's all until next time...DEUCES!!! DW

I can't believe I am this tired, but I did wake up at 5 PM this morning. I guess it is time for me to rest up and start sharing what I will say soon.
October 6, 2018
Things in my life had been pretty interesting.
A friend who I had met in Utica is moving back home to Freepoint, Illinois so it is a heartbreaker, but we will stay in touch.
A major announcement I need to make: In The Limelight with D-Man is moving to Thursdays, starting October 11, 2018 at noon to 3 PM on WSPJ. The best in 80s jazz, your emails, calls or texts.
I need to get going...but more will come shortly.

Well, I am now 50 and still working on the thought of getting up there in age...but I can still do my thing on stage and, now, film. The West End film is coming out real soon and, once again, it is a blessing to be part of the movie. Get ready for another movie premier in Central New York.

One week from now: The movie premier of Salt City at Manlius Art Center this Saturday at 9:30 PM in Manlius, NY. :-)

This morning's show was a major blast as I was reunited with my fellow actors from the movie, Salt City. We had the best time discussing the aspects of the film, and was announced that I am cast in a 80s horror film along with Jennifer Cutter, who I had worked with in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and she will be hosting the show for me while I am away to celebrate my half-century birthday.
Speaking of birthdays, I need to post a big birthday shout out to I.H. Vergara who I had finally met after all this time. He is great actor who really can bring his character to life in a big way.
I have to bring them back again as my guest co-host.
Nothing much to share with you, but I am coming back to share again.

Bring a friend and some tissue with Depends. You will need them for duration of the event. :-D

I was a bit quiet for a bit to reflect on a number of things happening in my life while putting together tonight's show a few days ago. There are things I would not even go in specifics, but one big bright spot: my daughter, Chyan, and I had a great conversation about her world...including her love life (still makes me worry though I had said publicly to her man on social media that he needs to be close to the L-rd if anything happens to her).
That's right: Pops still carry a can of spinach in his pocket!
It is almost my time to go on the air so I catch you on with me shortly.

This morning's show went fantastic because I had a specific woman from PA who had an exchange with me on social media, and said I had became her lullaby as she fell asleep listening to me, and the great sound of jazz from the 1980s. I may add some jazz to the show next time.
If you want to hear something from the music library or you want to say "hi" to me, just send them to [email protected].
I take marriage proposals too...Just don't be surprised if I read it on the show. :-) LOL!

Well, this is the new look of the home page, because I get to express myself the minute you log on to my Web site. The one thing I will tell you: the content of my blog will be blunt and honest. If you are so sensitive or sissified, you don't want to read this. Everyone else: Visit this often. You will be surprised as to what I will say about music, acting and...maybe something personal about my life.
Take care and I will be back shortly...DW!
