Okee dokee folks… Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer to have my colds in the winter. Somehow I managed to catch a cold during a heat wave. I have been biting my tongue all summer and TRYING not to express my disdain for this time of year. I hate summer. And now as I cough […]
Okee dokee folks … I am once again writing my column in a speeding car. Last year I did the same while coming home from South Carolina, this time I’m heading up to Burlington, Vermont. No, I am not going to visit Bernie Sanders, though it would be cool to meet him. I am going […]
Okee dokee folks … It’s hard to avoid the subject of violence. For most people it is just seen on the screens of their televisions, and you really never think that it will affect someone you know. For me, it has. About five weeks ago my neighbor Nathan was out with a few of his […]
Okee dokee, folks… Well, my hard drive crashed last week, and that is a very bad thing because I am not the best at backing things up. After I got a new (old) desktop computer set up, I connected my back-up drive and found out how little data I actually saved. This was bad, VERY […]
I was at the Zeiterion Theater in New Bedford last Wednesday night to catch the ME Solo Show. That is Melissa Etheridge for all of you who weren’t there. When we arrived, the stage was filled with electric guitars, amps, a bass, a grand piano, a djembe, a cajon (a wooden box drum), lots of […]
Okee dokee folks … The other night I had a chance to relive a bit of my youth. I saw Peter Frampton in concert for the first time in 35+ years. Back when I was 16 years old, the Peter Frampton concert at the Civic Center was the hottest ticket in town. The show at Twin […]
Okee dokee folks … The other night I experienced The Buddy Holly Story at Theatre By The Sea in Matunuck. I get to at least one of the shows down there every summer. My parents, on the other hand, have had season tix in the same seats for almost 40 years. After the show my father […]
Okee dokee folks … It’s that time of year again. Time for the coffee cups to go in the sink and the folding chairs to be put away for a couple of months. The coffeehouse season comes to a close and the summer events take the lead. Someone already hit the summer switch and the […]
Okee dokee folks … I have had a VERY busy few days going to concerts. I usually don’t go to so many in such a short period of time but I figured, “What the hell!” I decided to give you review of them as well. So, here are my takes on the Kevin Griffin, Todd […]
Okee dokee folks … The other night I watched a couple of music documentaries on Netflix. I have insomnia a lot, so this is what I do — watch Netflix. Anyway, one of them was a four-hour film about Tom Petty and the other was about Twisted “F*cking” Sister. I know, I know, Twisted Sister […]
