It had been a long time coming to see Mike McMann play and to finally meet him. Friday 01/14/22 I finally made that happen! Mike played at Bye-i Brewing in Cohoes, NY. What a treat to watch him. His originals hit a string. For example on ‘True’ a line goes “When I am a porcupine […]
Happy New Year! Fingers crossed this year will be better than last. Funny, we said that last year, how did that work out? Let’s just hope. I start off this column with a question for those who are old farts like me. Not looking for an answer, but maybe it’s crossed your mind as well […]
Welcome to Mondo Rock ‘n Rolla! Let’s talk about rock ‘n roll records. Obscure rock ’n roll records to be precise. It’s the stuff you’ve probably never heard but should have.

Harmony Rocks is a 5 piece local band that plays an array of 60s to 90s music, genres include rock, country and blues. A talented band fronted by Norm Fraim with […]
I woke up recently and realized that I’ve spent the past 53 years in the music business. Holy Keith Richards Batman!! I’ve been lucky enough to have worked over the years as a player, manager, event organizer, promoter, and radio host. The only thing I missed is manning the sound board (no easy task), and […]
