Musical ramblings from the manager
For some strange reason, I can’t for the life of me pass up a book or an article about a fellow drummer. The music trade magazines specifically aimed at drummers (Drummers World, Modern Drummer) will occasionally catch my eye, but after beating the skins for more than a half century, a lot of their […]
Like many other publications, Classic Rock Magazine ends each year with an issue compiling the best and worst of the previous year. In the past, I purchased my monthly copy of CRM from a bookstore and avoided this issue assuming it would be a rehash of articles from issues I had already seen. With the […]

Off the top of my head, local groups like The Friends of the Porkies and the Ontonagon County Historical Society come to […]
Like many other publications, Classic Rock Magazine ends each year with an issue compiling the best and worst of the past year. In years past, I purchased my monthly copy of CRM from a bookstore and avoided this issue assuming it would be a rehash of articles from previous issues. With the closing of […]
What began as an innocent swamping out of our linen closet turned into an adventure when I discovered the long missing high school annuals from my days at Marquette Senior High. The summary from my freshman year was kind of fun and it was surprising how many little details popped into my head perusing […]
