Okee dokee folks … Over the past few months I have been preoccupied with three things: my health (I had bronchitis and it took foooooooooooorever to get over), the election (we all know how that turned out, don’t need to talk about that) and the Ten Year Anniversary Show for my band, Forever Young. Yeah, […]
Okee dokee folks … Daylight Savings Time will end in a few days. I heard a lot of jokes that involve Daylight Savings and politics, most involving setting the country back in time to the 1950s. I am sure we are all tired of politics now, and I don’t have very high hopes for this […]
Okee dokee folks… You may already know that I am a HUGE animal person. A couple of years ago I wrote about the fledgling that I found and had to babysit through the night to keep it alive. The happy ending of that story is it survived the night and in the morning I turned that […]
Okee dokee folks … Last month at the Rhythm and Roots Festival in Charlestown I ran into Abigail Washburn just before the reunion set of her band Uncle Earl. Abigail Washburn also is an amazing solo performer as well as musical partner and wife of the banjo master Bela Fleck, and they’ll both be at […]
Okee dokee folks… Almost exactly one year ago I saw Weird Al Yankovic at the Zeiterion in New Bedford. In all honesty it was one of the BEST shows I have EVER seen. It was fun, funny, energetic … basically AWESOME! I had a grin on my face the whole time. Weird Al is a […]
Okee dokee folks… We are in that grey (yes, I spell it that way!) area that is the end of summer/beginning of fall. We can thankfully, hopefully bid adieu to the heat of that nasty season of summer. The festivals and outdoor events begin to wind down and the indoor shows start kicking back up. […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
