Into the Night – Robbie Antone’s Blues Machine
So one of the artist that I noticed on the Indigenous Music Culture. RPM music page was Robbie Antone’s Blues Machine. When I read in his biography that the band were:
Into the Night – What We Lost – Ben Bedford
So to enjoy most singer-songwriters you don’t need to be all that Culturally Literate, not so with Ben Bedford. With Bedford it’s always a good idea to have Google or Wikipedia fired up so that you can find out more about the subject of many of his songs. Take the song “Cahokia” from his latest album What We Lost , when Ben sings…
Exploring the Music of Albert Castiglia….
Exploring Albert Castiglia’s Living the Music
So yesterday was a blues day. I started the day by listening to the latest release by Albert Castiglia (pronounced “ka-STEEL-ya”) Living the Dream. The album was released back in June. I think that it’s been on the Roots Music Blues Chart since it’s release. This week the album is at 46 dropping down from 29! I first discovered Castiglia’s music back in 2010 when his album Keepin’ On was released, I immediately became a fan. What a great bluesman Albert is! Living the Dream is his third album on Blue Leaf Records and his fifth overall. I my humble opinion, he just keeps getting better and better!

Happy Thanksgiving to All!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Let’s all take time today to reflect on those things that for which we are thankful. For me that includes my family, my wife and children and their wives, boyfriend, and friends. While our family has grown smaller this year with the passing of my mother, it also has grown larger as Meaghan and her family have joined us on life’s journey. We welcome her and her family and wish Andrew and her the best as the set sail on their journey.
Book 34 for 2012 – The Prophet – Michael Koryta
Book 34 for 2012 is the latest from Michael Koryta The Prophet. I have read a couple of the books in the Lincoln Perry series and really liked the series! I also started one of Koryta’s stand-alone novels So Cold the River, got bogged down in the middle, and never finished it, so I’ve stayed away from some of his other books, passing them up for other reads. Well, I’m sorry that I have and will need to go back and make up for that after reading The Prophet.
Today in My History – Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!!
So today is one of those days when you feel older and it’s not your birthday. See today is my youngest child Elizabeth’s twenty-second birthday! Seems like only yesterday my wife was pleading for drugs during labor! Then Edward got in trouble because he was afraid to hold her! So tiny, so fragile! Here’s one of my favorite pictures with Nick holding Lizzie the next morning, and Andrew right behind him!
Murder at the Burlington County Jail – well in 1920!!
So on November 5, 1920 a murder was committed at the Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly, NJ. The victims were the Warden Harry King and an inmate Charles Vernon Bartlett. They were blugdeoned to death by inmate Harry Asay. Asay was serving a 90 day sentence for a drunk and disorderly arrest. It was his second time serving time. The previous time he had served his complete sentence, this time he made it one day!! My wife is third cousins twice removed with both Bartlett the victim and Asay the murderer, which is why we were at the Warden’s Office tonight for a lecture about the murder!
