Van Morrison is 65 today!

Been away from the blog for awhile. Sorry about that.

Thought this article was funny. John Mellencamp doesn’t mind using the internet to sell his music, but, be careful out there!

Don’t get me wrong – I love technology. It lets us do things we never thought we could do and it lets us get them done quicker, but, I love this idea John Mellencamp had about his new album.

He also has a unique greatest hits package coming on June 15th.

It looks like we are going to be enjoying nice weather for the Memorial Day weekend in NEPA.

As you gather with friends and family, take some time to remember those who sacrificed everything the freedoms we enjoy everyday.

For a brief look at the day once known as “Declaration Day”, check this out. Or if you prefer to see some video, The History Channel has a pretty good site.

Also, Arlington National Cemetery has a great photo gallery and info on the origins of the 21 Gun Salute, Taps, and other military history.

“Exile on Main Street” has always been my favorite Rolling Stones album.

It’s been 38 years, so, I guess it’s time to revisit one of the greatest albums of all time.

The Cultural Council of Luzerne County is trying entered the “Pepsi Refresh Project” for a chance to win a $50,000 grant.

This will enable them to host free community events at River Common Park in Wilkes Barre.

Perfect for Mothers Day!

A Day in the Life

Assuming mom is a huge Beatles fan.

If my memory is correct, Pink Floyds’ “The Wall” came out in late 1979, but, Roger Waters is celebrating the 30th anniversary this year with a tour.

Check out his website for dates.

He will be in Philly & New York. No return trip to NEPA (so far…).
