The purpose of this exercise is to see how accurat… Continue

We'll all be up to our arses in corned beef and cabbage. "The Quiet Man" will air on cable a few hundred times. Everyone will be falling all over themselv… Continue

Awesome Concerts...it's that time of year!

Last night at the Sellersville Theatre, I had one of those sublime moments in life. I was able to sit within 20 feet of the incredible Maura O'Connell! Along with Dolores Keane, Maura is my favorite female performer of any type of music, Irish, folk, lovesongs, blues, etc. What an incredible singer and woman she… Continue
