Okee dokee folks… Last night I had a dream and Joe Bonamassa was in it. Weird, I know. I think it was something like a movie that Joe Bonamassa was in or some other odd assemblage of dream scenes. I really can’t remember much else. I don’t know of any Bonamassa movies but according to […]
Okee dokee folks… Do you remember the part in Fast Times at Ridgemont High when the character Mike Damone was trying to sell Cheap Trick tickets to a girl in the bleachers? He says to her,“Can you honestly tell me you forgot? Forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, or the charisma of Rick Nielsen?” He […]
Okee dokee folks…There “Comes A Time” when I feel I HAVE to write about a concert that I am playing. This is not only for my benefit but for the benefit of the nine other folks who are playing as well as the hosting venue. I’m talking about the fifteenth anniversary celebration of my band, […]
Okee dokee folks… The King, Elvis Presley, died in 1977. Soon thereafter a new Elvis emerged, Elvis Costello. The previous Elvis’ live reign lasted less than 25 years but has endured even in death. Elvis Costello has outlasted the King’s earthly tenure by decades. Even though there is little common ground between the two there […]
Okee dokee folks…The man with a cape and keyboards is headed to Fall River on October 19. Legendary Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman hits the Narrows Center for the Arts with his Even Grumpier Old Rock Star show. I spoke with Rick last week via a Zoom call. Rick Wakeman: Hi, John! Hi, my friend!John […]
Okee dokee folks…Last week I was fortunate to attend the 2021 edition of Farm Aid. For those of you who don’t know about Farm Aid it’s a fundraising and awareness raising concert/organization dedicated to helping family farmers and promoting good food. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson in 1985 and was inspired by an […]
Okee dokee folks… It’s pumpkin spice season. Not that I am a fan but I am at least glad that the summer is over. I saw a meme that read “pumpkin spice vaccines available”. If it was real maybe more folks would get it. Here I am eager to get vaccine #3 and there are […]
Okee dokee folks… Back in the pre-pandemic era I was scheduled to perform an opener for Karla Bonoff at the Greenwich Odeum. Then the cancellations started and the show was bumped ahead a couple of months and then again a couple of months later. This continued for a year and a half until society got […]
Okee dokee folks… Back in July I was invited to open for the band The Fools in New Hampshire. I thought it an odd pairing but I took the gig nonetheless. I remembered the band from the early 80’s and loved their songs “Psycho Chicken”- a “Weird Al-esque” spoof of the Talking Heads’, “Psycho Killer”, […]
Okee dokee folks… We are in the home stretch of summer, and it is unclear how the pandemic is going to affect fall schedules. I am seeing many cancellations already, so it’s best to check directly with venues before you head to any show to make sure the show is happening and find out their […]
