It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s… Silver Machine!
For the past several months, I’ve been a rock star widow. My beau has spent countless hours in the studio, recording and re-recording tracks for his new album with his band, Silver Machine, and it’s finally finished. It isn’t news that I’m kind of picky about my music. I couldn’t be with a guy in…
