After driving those 35 miles east of Syracuse to pick up my monthly collection of meds from my friends Jen and Chris at Doughterty Pharmacy this week, I was struck by a familar feeling as I climbed out of my car, moved to walk up and down the half-mile strip that makes up the town-and-gown…
When I posted the link to last Friday’s piece about Jason Teska’s return from Nashville to play a homecoming show for his Syracuse area fans, friends and family on my Facebook page a week ago, Mick Fury was quick to comment. Why he’d just run into Jason in a Nashville bar, Mick told the world…
My bowling hopes were high. The average going up, up, up. But splits were everywhere. Conversions were few. Pins stood. Winking. Laughing. First game. 152. Second game. 154. Final game. 127. Enough to make the spirits sink. Until the exit to drive home from Bowling Green Lanes. A look to the sky Spots a vision…
J.K. Rowling is writing a screenplay for Warner Brothers, and so the Harry Potter franchise shall live on. So says a story on Screen Rant this week. Except that, really, the movie titled “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is about the wizard who wrote the Hogwarts textbook that Harry and students studied. No…
It’s become the big thing to get a stadium full of fans to wear the home team’s colors. Syracuse football officials wanted a big Orange Out to help the squad build a head of steam for its Atlantic Coast Conference opener against Louisville in the Carrier Dome Friday night. Major fail. I snapped the photograph…
When last I reported about my Thursday night bowling league, I was considering how a summer video session could work wonders for my average come this season. This was a special bowling week, one of two in this 2014-15 campaign that we’ll roll on Sundays, too, to make up for the dark league nights for…
“Gone Girl” is a great mystery. Thank you, Gillian Flynn. From her novel of 2012, Flynn also was the screenwriter for this 149-minute thriller of twists and turns of trust that chronicled what went so horribly wrong in the fictional life of Ben and Amy Dunne. I am not going to spoil it for those…
Officials from Syracuse University deemed Friday the as a perfect time for an Orange Out. That is one of the striking colors in Central New York’s autumn once the leaves change. That is the team name and color the the school’s sports teams. So that was the color they asked fans to wear during their…
Mary Fahl sounds great playing with musicians from Syracuse. Mark Doyle told me so this spring, when we were talking about his “Guitar Noir” performances coming up at the Auburn Public Theater and the M&T Syracuse Jazz Fest. One of the important musical elements in the veteran Syracuse musician, band leader, arranger and producer’s life…
Back in the day, Jason Teska was one of the hardest working guys in the Central New York music scene. The guitarist and singer for country-rockers The Back Alley Boys was always putting in the effort to be the best he could be. I admired, respected and liked him a lot in those years when…
