Jim, Thanks for posting this. As you mentioned, Leo was a great ambassador for polka music. I can remember listening to his show on Sunday mornings. I know my dad still listens to Leo's show. I know a lot of people make fun of polkas, but I've always loved them. I recently found a renewed love for t...

Too bad I'm in Raleigh. Looks like it will be an awesome line up and show.

Toto IV Came across one of the songs the other day on YouTube and had to pull out the old vinyl. I don't think there is a bad song on this album. Just great arrangements and musicianship. A true classic album in my eyes. The other cool thing is my son who just started college discovered listening mu...

Does anybody remember the group Glass Moon from the early 80's? I re-discovered them after relocating to Raleigh about 5 years ago. They are originally from Raleigh.

I'm still amazed that they haven't broken out on a bigger scale nationally! Such a great band. Solid musically and lyrically. Great studio work and incredible live shows. Just a great band that has paid their dues. If there is any band out there today that deserves to break big, it is Halestorm. (An...

This was posted on Craig's List here in Raleigh. The animation is kinda dry, but Funny stuff! (I'm sure a lot of us can relate to or have experienced a lot of this.)

This has been awarded to Carolina. It was announced Thursday before the Hurricanes last home game. It will be played at the RBC Center here in Raleigh. (20 minutes from my house!) I already have my name in for tickets. I can't wait for this!

If anybody gets tickets and makes the trip, let me know.

Dan,

Just wait, you'll love it when you can hang your Christmas lights and decorations in shorts and a t-shirt.

You don't have to shovel sunshine!!!

BTW, where are you in Cary? I live near Middle Creek High School.

Typically speaking, if you are using your equipment to make money, or for a business, you need to carry separate insurance. Homeowners usually only covers musical instruments, equipment, etc. if it is only used as a hobby. Basically, if you are hauling your equipment to a gig, or practice for a band...

Update from wtajtv.com "...The fire was under control in about an hour, and major damage was confined to the basement. The bar area suffered minimal smoke damage. Hartline {Gartland}, who has owned the bar for 17 years, said he will reopen the business." http://www.wjactv.com/news/18640391...

From WTAJTV.com Cambria County Tavern Catches Fire Tuesday, February 3, 2009 CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. -- It was a busy Tuesday night for fire crews in Portage as a local tavern goes up in smoke. Officials said a Penndot truck driver first saw the smoke coming out of Johnny Angels Bar and Grill in Portage...

I was just on the phone with my parents in PA, and they said there is a 5 alarm fire at Johnny Angel's in Portage. I hope this isn't true. Please keep Johnny Gartland (aka JANGEL on Rockpage), his family, and any patrons in your thoughts and prayers! I hope everyone is safe! Johnny runs a great busi...

Funny Stuff! And what drummer can't relate to dropping the stick under the kit, feeling around the bass drum for it, and then WHACK!!! crackin' the ole noggin' on the snare. Classic!!! I'm curious if he really plays drums. He seems to have some skills, and how else would he know about some the other...

It's like trying to commit hara-kiri with a dull butterknife.

Congrats! I've played in a band with Tim. You're lucky to have talent like Tim on board.

Look for me, I'll be there!!!! Box Suite 124. 8) Just one of the benefits of working for my company and being in NC. They own a box suite, and the RBC Center is 20 minutes from my house. Being in the south, there aren't a lot of hockey fans so I get tickets a few times a year. (Free tickets, VIP par...

Winter Classic 2008 Now THIS would be awesome to attend! The Sabres will host the Pittsburgh Penguins at 1pm on New Year's Day 2008 at Ralph Wilson Stadium in a game that will surely shatter the NHL's single-game attendance mark.
