If you’ve been out and about in the local music scene, you’ve probably seen John Cehowski – playing his 12-string guitar or in the audience supporting the musicians. John’s full guitar sound perfectly accompanies his thoughtful songwriting and rich voice. His lyrics and melodies take you on a visual and emotional journey that is touching […]
Tribute bands, good ones, are like spiritual mediums. They get us to hold hands, and with some chanting (and a few tasty riffs) they get us in touch with bands by which we are separated by both time and distance. A good tribute band is a resurrectionist. Legend is, perhaps a resurrectionist….though we’re not categorically […]
Capital Region Time Keepers: Josh Bloomfield January 2023 By OP Callaghan I met Josh Bloomfield in 2011.

Music and songs are more than sounds and words. There are the artists and the personalities behind the creations. One that particularly blew my mind was Jim Morrison of The Doors. In high school I really started getting into music and buying many albums. I bought the Doors eponymous classic first album in 1979. When […]
Naughter’s on 5th Ave. in Troy bills itself as a “neighborhood diner” and that’s what it is – kind of. Sure, they have some of the basics – eggs, home fries, and toast; hotcakes, a cheeseburger, a tuna melt – you would expect to see at any diner, but there is something else going on […]

In the early 80’s, I was an underaged aspiring musician, desperately trying to break out of my high school music scene to be a part of something bigger. I think the drinking age was still 18; but I was far from the cutoff age, and looked even younger, so getting into clubs to see bands […]
