Instagram Photo The Week: Gail and Daisy Berkowitz

Leave a comment

I’m not a person who takes selfies, and I rarely post photos of myself on  Instagram, but when I do, that photo is always the most popular photo the week. So, what are you guys telling me? This past week I felt compelled to honor the memory of a now-departed friend, Scott Putesky, on April 28th, which would have been his 54th Birthday. This photo was also taken in the month of April at one of artist Mark Kostabi’s Jazz Art Brunches. We had all kinds of crazy fun and got pretty wasted, which is evident if you look at our eyes. You can read that story here.

On October 30, 2020, a pallet of new Gibson Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Custom Silverburst Guitars was stolen from a Sweetwater Music truck at the Flying J Travel Center in Whiteland, IN. The truck was en route to Fort Wayne, IN, the headquarters of Sweetwater Sound. “Somehow out of a truck full of guitars, this one pallet was singled out and stolen at a truck stop,” says Sweetwater Chief Supply Chain and Merchandising Officer Phil Rich. Totaling close to $95,000 in guitars, Rich believes that the perpetrator(s) knew exactly what to look for and when.

I spotted this fabulous Jimi Hendrix mural as I was out for a post-snowstorm stroll through my East Village neighborhood one Saturday afternoon. The mural can be found on the security gate for Mikey Likes It, an ice cream shop located at 199 Avenue A. According to their website, Mikey Likes It is the world’s first Pop Culture-inspired premium ice cream brand! I’ll have to make a point to stop by for a cone during their regular business hours!

Video Clip of The Week: Hugh Myrone, “Clear Eyes Clear Skies”

Leave a comment



There is nothing that I do not love about this video for the blistering instrumental “Clear Eyes Clear Skies” by “soft shredder” guitarist Hugh Myrone. “Clear Eyes Clear Skies” appears on the soundtrack to Drift Stage, an arcade racing game that is coming soon to PC/MAC and PS4, and it can also be found on Myrone’s new album, Drift Stage, Vol 1., which is out now. Recommended for fans of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Paul Gilbert, you can follow Hugh on Instagram @hughmyrone. Enjoy!

Video Clip of The Week: Johnny Marr, “Dynamo”

1 Comment



Do you love The Smiths? I sure do. But while I haven’t necessarily remained the hugest fan of Morrissey’s wildly uneven solo work, I have found much of guitarist Johnny Marr’s post-Smiths’ output to be nothing less than utterly mind blowing. This past fall, Marr released his second official solo album — unless you count Boomslang, his 2003  album with The Healers, which is a work of genius — which is called Playland. It is excellent, of course.

This weeks Video Clip is for the song “Dynamo,”  a song from the Playland album. It’s a “live” performance which fills me with happiness and joy. You can purchase Playland on Amazon.com and iTunes. Enjoy!
