A note of explanation. The site is getting stale everywhere but here because we’re having some communication “issues” with our server. This should be remedied shortly and we’ll be off to phase two of the site. You’ll see a whole new cn.com within the first couple months of the year. Until then we’ll stick with basic black and try to wrestle this FTP glitch to the ground. If you want news on what’s going on its best to go straight to the journal until otherwise advised.
The New Years show in Niagara was a blast save for one incident that spoiled the party for my friends in Treble Charger. They had invited up some people from the audience for a bit of fun and it turned into something, “not suitable for family viewing”. In the olden days we called this a rock n’ roll moment. In the new world we call it “objectionable”. The plugged was pulled on their show so they elected not to return for the later TV portion.
We had fun with the swing stuff as we were joined by the great Greg Piccolo of the original Little Big Band and, most noteably, of “Roomful of Blues”. Every note of his really counts. The weather cooperated and the crowd did too. It must have looked pretty loose on the television. In that way the moment was captured.
