Hang On
Some of you know that I have been going to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra perform in concert for 17 consecutive years now. It has truly become a staple in my Christmas season every year. Continue Reading...
Not The Same
Sometimes I forget to stop, and take a good look around. But when I remember to do so, I am hoping to gain depth of perspective, so that I can see more than what I have already seen for myself. And most of the time, it reveals a whole other side, or sides, to the scene, completing a picture in context. So, last night, at my second Trans-Siberian Orchestra show of the day, I took a clue from the Continue Reading...
NH Foliage Trip 2016
It may be best to watch this video in full-screen, high-definition. Recently I took my Mom, my Aunt, and my Uncle on a foliage trip. We traveled all over the Mt. Kearsarge region of New Hampshire. It was a great day of visiting, laughing, relaxing, and taking in some of the best color combinations you will ever see. Continue Reading...
The Property (Ours and Flowers)
We are so busy in our lives. There's time, but too rare is it that time, we make. Mostly, it is the allowances that we welcome, our time it does take. So, slow down, take ten minutes or so, and go where this takes you. It's safe I assure you, and visit as often as you would like to. Continue Reading...
Against the Grain
https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/grain/ Against the Grain I am here, I just don't know if you can see me. Here is where it all begins, but so far, there is no end. You were here once it seems, but were you, then again. Maybe it was me, and what I wanted, I had to pretend. Continue Reading...

TSO – Symmetry and Chemistry
I went to see them for the first time in December 2000. I went to hear one song. 16 years later, and every year between, I have seen them, listened to all of their songs, seen all of their lights, embraced all of the emotions they stimulate, and I've had the pleasure to meet most of them. Still every year, the show is absolutely incredible. The lights, the lasers, the sounds, all in perfect Continue Reading...
2015 in review

This blog was viewed about 12,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra East 2015 II
Here are 10 more photos from the Manchester, NH show on November 28th. This year, I was fortunate enough to get to the Boston show too. I haven't even looked at those photos yet. Every time I go back to these pictures from Manchester, I just can't wait to see these folks again, and to get lost in each and every spectacular moment found in each show. If you know me, you know that TSO, Continue Reading...
TSO – Chris Caffery Friday
I heard that today is Chris Caffery Friday. It just so happens that I have a few photos of Chris from this year's show. Here are a few pictures of Chris from the Manchester, NH show on November 28th. Chris first became known to me in December of 2000, at my very first TSO show in Albany, NY. I enjoyed his interaction with the band as well as with the crowd. I loved listening to him play, while Continue Reading...
