There are two things that people say about Albany* that make me crazy, ok, maybe three, and on the top of the list is “there’s nothing to do.” As someone working really hard to pace themselves, I’m going to tell you right now that that’s crazy talk - there is so much activity in Albany … Continue reading Steve Earle and Shannon McNally at The Egg

Somehow I’ve pushed the “Publish” button 1500 times on this WordPress blog.
