PMJ & PPP Ride again
We knew it wouldn’t be long before our buds Scott Bradlee & Post Modern Jukebox and Puddles Pity Party would team up again – this time on the 21 Pilots tune Stressed Out
FTV: Sundellstock
In the wake of the first Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, anybody with a field, a long extension cord, and a flatbed truck trailer wanted to host an outdoor festival. How do I know this with such certainty? Because I played on a flatbed truck trailer in a field at a little location south of […]
THE SUMMER OF ’16
(With my apologies to Bryan Adam’s Summer of ’69) – The WOAS-FM Summer Rambles: We will be off air save an occasional test broadcast from Saturday June 11 until August 22 when we will start our week long run up to the Porcupine Mountain Music Festival. While we won’t be broadcasting music or video during this period, […]
FTV: Bar Scott’s Journey
Bar Scott recently gave us permission to reprint a piece she wrote entitled Grace. She had sent it along in one of the numerous e-mails we had exchanged about two CDs she had sent for us to air (Parachute and Journey). She mentioned living in Woodstock, NY for a period of years and I admitted […]
FTV: Mudcrutch
Mudcrutch. This article isn’t going to be about Mudcrutch, per se, I just like to say the name: Mudcrutch. This FTV is going to be about the mystical process of coming up with a name for a band and I just happen to be reading Petty: The Biography by Warren Zanes (2015 Henry Holt & […]
FTV: Voices from the Past
I was recently asked, “Where do you get all your story ideas from?” Knowing that the standard “I don’t know” wasn’t going to cut it, I fell back on the old, “Oh, I read about things or see something in passing and an idea will pop into my head.” A perfect example of this […]
Where art thou, Dennis Bellinger?
News travels slowly to the north end of US 45. Several weeks ago, I was looking at the doings of the Rusty Wright Band and noticed that our old friend Dennis Bellinger was not with the band any more. “Humph, I will have to check this out,” I said to myself. YouTube to the rescue […]
The Best ?
Okay – I have seen it – The Best – a band with Joe Walsh and Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter on guitars, John Entwhistle on Bass, Simon Phillips on drums and a few assorted others . . . but this totally passed me by. Clip here was recorded in Japan in 1990 . . . Joe […]
FTV: Greek Week Part 1
In my Junior High / Senior High years, the frats and sororities at Northern Michigan University would have an annual spring bash called Greek Week. I can’t say how long this went on or if it continues to this day, but I remember it mostly for the festival like finale that was held at Hedgecock […]
Bar Scott: Grace
Bar Scott is a singer, songwriter, and writer who has recorded seven albums of original songs, and has published one book. Scott engineers, records, and edits most of her vocals and piano in her home studio, but leans on Dave Cook for the heavy studio lifting. Some of her favorite gigs have been in living […]
