A few years back I attended a music event called Mayhem at SPAC. The things we do for people we love! Anyway, we had a really nice afternoon, complete with sandwiches from Cardona's, listening to a bunch of bands. The bands weren't really my genre, but, it wasn't bad until Slipknot started their set. Their … Continue reading Slipknot and Scaramucci

Seeing the whole of the moon – U2 at MetLife
I've seen U2 a half dozen times, but I don't think I've ever been as excited for a show as I was last Wednesday. Every single thing aligned to make for a perfect night - the weather was phenomenal, the company was sublime and our seats exceeded my expectations. The foundation was all in place … Continue reading Seeing the whole of the moon – U2 at MetLife

Yeah, that’s … Continue reading Albany – it’s the most wonderful time of the year
When music makes one a little sad – The Cohoes Music Hall
Saturday night, a friend and I drove up 787 to check out a guitar player he admires. It was a miserable night, but I was excited to see a live performance and I had never been to this particular venue before. You know me, always up for a new experience. I don’t remember the last … Continue reading When music makes one a little sad – The Cohoes Music Hall
My life’s soundtrack – my top 50 at 50
Music is an amazing thing - it soothes, excites, inspires, comforts, stimulates and impresses me more than any other art form. There are songs that take me back to specific moments in my life like no other time machine I've ever known and guitar solos that still make me shake my head with wonder. Below … Continue reading My life’s soundtrack – my top 50 at 50
