2017 has been a year of great live performances, with a couple of exceptions. The most recent disappointing musical act I saw was Modern English at The Hollow earlier this month. I was so excited for this throwback band - the timing was ideal (the night before a holiday), I had plenty of friends going … Continue reading Music to my ears – Modern English and Albert Cummings

Time is short
I’ve been so busy doing things and going places that I haven’t had a moment to chronicle any of it. It’s kind of getting me frustrated, but that’s how I typically react to not having what I want - in this case more time.

An extra hour, a yoga retreat and your favorite breakfast
When I get busy the first thing to get eliminated from my calendar is yoga. I almost wrote “yoga practice,” but quickly decided that phrase would be overstating my commitment to yoga.

You know, people who would also be blown away by the fact that RLJ was playing in a 475 seat … Continue reading Rickie Lee Jones at the Cohoes Music Hall

Rationalize that it’s the mountain air. • Gather around … Continue reading How to spend 24 hours in the Adirondacks
Friday night at S & S Farm Brewery
Back in the day when I owned a restaurant, we had a collection of draft beverages of which I was pretty proud. We worked with local brewers and brought in small production brews that our guests really enjoyed. One of my favorite breweries, S & S Farm Brewery in Nassau, consistently produces some great beer … Continue reading Friday night at S & S Farm Brewery
