What is a website without a sitemap? Sometimes you remember a nice article, but you can’t seem to find it quick and easy.
What is a sitemap?
With a sitemap you see a file, or in this case a page, that gives you all the information of this website. For example, you will find all the pages and blog posts that I have posted over the years.
Sometimes it’s not even stuff that was posted originally on this site, but on my old portfolio site. I’m happy to say that As Lightning Strikes is the blog that contains it all. Personal stuff, reviews of concerts, travel stories, interviews and much more.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read my blogs and keep up to date with what I do. It means the world to me.
Interviews
Over the years I had the absolute honour to interview my legends and icons. I’m so happy to share the interviews I did over the years with you.

Concert reviews
Music and concerts are a big, important part of my life. The thrill of experiencing a concert of an artist you love is a memory you will never forget. I had the pleasure of seeing most of my favorite artists live. Very special moments that I will remember for a lifetime. The memory of the concert keeps living on when I write about the show and come back to read the concert review and see the images and videos every once a while.
