Rosie O’ Donnell opened the floodgates today during a revealing and extremely personal interview on the Howard Stern Show. The 75 minute interview was wide-ranging and covered subjects that O’Donnell herself admitted to never having gone into so much detail about before. O’Donnell opened up on many personal matters: from the painful loss of her mother; to her troubled...

I have for most of my life been in one player guitar bands. I cannot say if has been by design or fate. Being the lone guitarist and having eclectic tastes in music I have relied on a diverse collection of guitars to paint a sonic spectrum of tone. One aspect of this range is mixing acoustic and electric...

Traditionally we find ourselves pairing a great cigar with a great Scotch. While this combination works there is no better pairing for a great cigar than a great beer. The other night I found myself with a Macanudo Maduro in one hand, a snifter of great beer in the other. Maduro cigars are very rich in flavor. Macanudo has been...

The cloak of secrecy has been lifted and we now know this latest offering is “Belgian style Imperial Porter”. I scanned the Beer Judge Style Guidelines and was unsuccessful in locating this style. Actually I couldn’t find anything close. This is not an Imperial Porter...

As the great detective Adrian Monk would say, OK, here’s the thing: When your father is known for being one of the best at something, and you try your hand at it, you’re going to be judged against his work. And unless you’re a superstar like Junior Griffey, who is, and has always been, a far more gifted and...

There are two George Bensons in my opinion. We have the FM radio smooth jazz George that gave us the hit “On Broadway”. On the other side of the coin is George the Wes Montgomery clone. The later named guy is the musician that gave us albums like “Giblet Gravy” and “Witchcraft”. When Benson’s latest release “Songs and Stories”...

Stefon Harris and Blackout’s “Urbanus” is a mixture or bop, fusion and New York cool on a backdrop of urban beats. Harris successfully blends classic grooves and tones with what can only be described as hardcore fusion. There are touches of old school Miles in the recording; Miles during the Bitches Brew era. This is a departure from what you...

Is it possible for a band to rip their selves off? KISS’ new release Sonic Boom nods to classic KISS in a frightening way. Though they are marketing geniuses KISS has always been on the trailing edge of music trends. Still they tend to get to the party in time to make an impact. Case in point KISS’ disco anthem...
