Friday, September 15th Studebaker John & The Hawks, The Linda, Albany, 8pm-10pm Studebaker John Grimaldi was born in an Italian-American section of Chicago and started playing harmonica at age 7. Under the spell of music he heard on Maxwell Street, Chicago’s […]
Prog Digest. When sitcoms were sitcoms, Happy Days was mega popular. It was not on my personal list most of the time, but I get it. You know, good old-fashioned American values TV (wonder what that would look like today, but I digress). We love Henry Winkler, he is, by account, a wonderful man and […]
Observations and Ramblings. Confession time. I am a Geek, a Dork, a hopeless Fan Boy, and if my parents were still alive, I’d still be living in their basement. To quote The Shat, I’ve been told that I need to “Get a Life.” Aside from music, not too cookie cutter and vanilla, and radio, when […]
The Heights. “Opportunity Favors the Prepared Mind.’ I was introduced to this phrase by a good friend many years ago. Although I was able to intellectualize the meaning behind the words it took quite a bit of soul searching and self-reflection to fully encapsulate the depth of what it means to be prepared. Let me […]

Observations and Ramblings from a Cranky Old Guy. I’m a little different than most cranky old guys. Overall, I embrace technology. As a broadcaster, former broadcaster, check that; once a broadcaster always a broadcaster. That’s like once an asshole, well you get the point. As a broadcaster I absolutely HAD to keep up with tech […]
The 5678s. The 5678s are coming to Troy on August 26th but here’s some not so great news, it’s a sellout. Unless you got tix, you’ll be outside lookin’ in and that’s a shame. If you think you don’t know who they are think again. If you’ve seen the movie Kill Bill, then you’ve seen […]
The Prog Digest. Be vewy, vewy quiet. We’re hunting wabbits! Where in the Sam Hill is this going? What massive rabbit hole am I getting into? Well, got to thinkin’ – more a thought came to mind. Someone once, an adult even, mentioned that they didn’t get the whole Easter Bunny thing. Why a bunny? […]
