I guarantee this will be the most fun you have today! Esker Point Beach, courtesy of the City of Groton, and this year it didn’t rain and Rickie showed up in her pajamas!
It’s what’s known in the industry as pop star casual. I like it.
I thought …
This day couldn’t get better!
But as you’ll see, it did! Continue reading “Pop Star Casual Takes The Beach, Sugar at Esker Point, Groton, CT, 2022”
This one speaks for itself! Quality-wise, what we have here is a minor masterpiece, a redo of a funky song … to make it even funkier! Sugar really rocks the house in North Stonington, CT in this music video!
And to boot, it was a fundraiser for a charity organization known as Madonna Place (more below), held at Jonathan Edwards Winery, a place where you arrive to enter a postcard; like a movie set depicting the beauty of the rolling hills of Southeastern Connecticut. Wine country. A perfect setting.
The boot?
Just happens this song was made famous by “Madonna” herself!
Amazing drum skills, Ben LaRose! Continue reading “Sugar Covers Madonna and Madonna Place, Ben LaRose Shines on Drums!”

Who’s got two minutes and forty-four seconds to spare? Go!
This song was written in 1927. It was the theme for our AM radio station’s (Westerly, RI) nostalgic music format, many years-ago. Stardust was on my license plate. After all the years, I conceded the MANY varieties of notations of this song weren’t working for me on guitar, so I arranged it myself. I wrote all the chords you see me playing, and when I was done, I remember thinking it was kind of amazing that I didn’t listen to the song once, and I don’t think I’ve heard it in years. It’s just in there, in my brain! Continue reading “Stardust”
Sugar at the North Stonington Fair!
They’re playing at the Knick Friday night! Continue reading “Sugar @ North Stonington CT | Kiss, Back in Love Again | Friday at the Knick”
We’re on a mighty trip!
We never get it right!
But God grades on a curve
You get what you deserve! A song!
By popular demand (not my cat!) I’ll do a Turkey Day share.
This is still in process, and represents my latest project.
It’s called “Neaky Freat.”
It’s about dancing.
I play all the instruments, designed the drums and wrote the tune.
Working on this in iMovie as I migrate to a better interface (DaVinci).
Also getting to know Apple Motion a little better, which is fun!
At this point, I haven’t added the bass guy, some FX and finishing. Continue reading “Neaky Freat”
You look into my soul
Right in to my eyes
Like a gun you hold
Nothing left to be told
Sometimes I don’t eat
Worry like a lost sheep
Feel so vulnerable
Then you do what you do
I’m in poverty
And you’re peeling away
And I wish you would do it
Do it all day
I’m surrendering now
You know I know how
The connection is easy
Just let time go slow
And the invisible beat
It’s at all of our feet
You look into my heart
While I’m watching the show
It’s a dance party
That goes on for years Continue reading “Just Let Time Go Slow”
Here we have a fine local group in Connecticut that goes by the name “Malaena.” It’s a six-piece act and you’ll see they have a team of strong vocalists, including a bass player who sounds just like Van Morrison!
This was a casual outing, where I tested a DJI OM-5 gimbal arm that holds an iPhone. As a result, I was shooting this video in 1080p with my iPhone 6, which is actually software upgraded to an iPhone 7.
But that didn’t help!
The video performance of the older iPhones is poor in comparison to the DJI Osmo camera, and the Osmo will go to 4k and do even better. The iPhone footage is grainy, with no color depth Continue reading “Tennessee Whiskey and Its Effect on the iPhone 6 Video Performance, Featuring Malaena and Duke Robillard!”
The Friday night music scene is alive in the Westerly and Stonington area (RI/CT), where a good variety of musical acts are lined up right through the Columbus Day weekend. At Phoenix Dining and Entertainment in Pawcatuck, CT, the 6-piece pop cover band Malaena took the stage and I was there to capture a few songs.
