Blog Challenge Week 5 – So who do you think I sound like?

I’m a bit behind in the blogging…yikes. This was interesting to me…I did a blog search first on myself and found these reviews (that I’ve already seen) posted on Blog sites.

I was able to do some more research and I have some work……


Week 4 Blog Challenge and My Search for the Perfect Acoustic Guitar

I’m a bit behind on the challenge…I’m finding it challenging. Ha ha. I updated my twitter profile though, so if you want to check it out, my link is twitter and then /robinbrockrocks. It’s a lot of work this new music business. I think I liked it the old way, not that it was less……


Week 3 Blog Challenge and why I don’t watch MuchMusic

Week 3 was pretty easy…I had read this chapter long ago and had worked on the things on my website that needed fixing…I realize that being an independent artist nowadays means doing much yourself, including websites….I really get frustrated with social networking sites though. I am not a computer geek, and it seems like once……


Week 2 Blog Challenge – The Perfect Pitch – Yes, I’m overthinking it!

I have read and reread this chapter I don’t know how many times. Then I typically skip forward in the book and avoid the exercises of Chapter 2 like a plague (I’m good at that) I know I’m overthinking it, but I think it needs a bit of time to percolate. I always have a……


Blog Challenge and Mountain Bike Racing-what it has in common with being a Musician

I am always looking for new motivators and new ways to spread the word on my music, so I joined the Ariel Promotions blog challenge. It’s a good motivator because when I am in between touring and writing an album, I feel like: who gives a crap about what I’m doing? I just need to……


Dedication to Tracy

I lost a dear friend a few weeks ago. I just found out yesterday. She had been ill for some time but I think I was enough in denial it was still a shock. I figured if anyone could win against it, she could; hell she had beat it before.

I’ve known Tracy since I was……


To ride or not to ride…there is no question.

I’m going out for a road ride on my mountain bike; yeah, I know it’s strange, but I have to ride on the road to get from point A to point B, but will be riding some trails in between. I’m working on my fitness today. It’s a challenge, because it “hurts” (not in a……


Kiss, Tom Jackson, and planning the Robin Brock show.

It’s been a while since I’ve performed live with a band. I did a few house concerts last year; acoustic shows with me and my guitar telling a bunch of people reclining on couches and pillows about my songs and entertaining them…sound easy?

Not really.

I’ve performed on a stage since I was fifteen. I always thought……


Back in the Saddle

Yesterday I went on my first outdoor bike ride since my surgery. It felt pretty strange. First, because I am riding with flat pedals; I’m so used to being clipped in, so different muscles are used during each pedal revolution; more quad power as opposed to all leg power. It rained like hell but nothing……


Does Recovery = Insanity? Exerpts from Rants, Revelations and Rock and Roll

Does recovery = insanity? Let’s just say I have my moments. Recovery from my hip replacement surgery is going very well, but the frustration level is high at times; the time has gone fast in some ways and slow in others. I won’t give you all the gory details here, but I’ve posted some in……
