"Slip Away" - David Bowie cover by The RecRoom Ramblers YouTube video by Matthew Davis

So much fun playing with The RecRoom Ramblers at 503 Social Club last weekend. "Slip Away" is a David Bowie song from HEATHEN. Heard but unseen here are my fellow Ramblers: Ed Seifert (gtr, bvox), Glenn Mercer (perc, bvox), and Dave Weckerman (perc). #musicsky #musiciansky

Bummed to have a cruddy chest cold - but happy we were able to reschedule this weekend's show to Saturday, December 13th! Ramble on!

The show is currently sold out but the postponement means there will likely be some ticket exchanges available for sale soon: www.eventbrite.com/e/reschedule...

Andy Boose (The Vestrymen 1989) and Shane Boose (sombr - 2025)

If, back in '89, someone would have told us that in the future Andy would clone himself but be EVEN cuter, we would have laughed them out of the room... #goodgenes #sombr

BONUS! For fans of telecom tech history and the show SEVERANCE, Bell Works - formerly Bell Labs - is an amazing place to visit…

Hedwig at Bell Works

I had not seen HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH until this past weekend when I got to see the excellent production now playing at Bell Works down in Holmdel. Fantastic! Big thanks to John Hammond for the pointer and double date with our better halves!

@chrisharford.bsky.social Cannot thank you enough for a wondrous night. Still vibrating.

Incredible night in rural Jersey, witnessing Chris Harford’s Blanc du Blanc be sonically shaped by one of the greats of dub music - Scientist! The bass was full, the grooves were super deep, and I think the barn levitated for a while… Get the new album and enjoy at home! #musicsky #reggae

"Waiting to Shine" from maybe the last show we did with Michael Carlucci - ? Miss the man so much still. His guitar illuminates this song, which I went on to record a couple years later with The Campfire Flies - Matt D.

I loves me some Mel Tormé just fine, but I’ll take Dusty Springfield’s “Windmills of Your Mind” first any day. #severance #musicsky

The Pities set up business on the moon many moons ago. Their lunar outpost is preparing to transmit back a new aural message. Are you be ready?

What are the results from the Feb. 28 economic blackout? See what data shows. Did the effort nationwide by consumers to not spend money on Feb. 28 make an impact on the economy? Here's what some data shows.

Today these two can finally buy me the beers I have needed so badly since the day they were born… No words could do justice to the pride and joy they bring to Dana and me. If one is required to have twins, there could be no better pair… @danadavis25.bsky.social

Economic Boycott - 2/28/25

Our family will be participating in this tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if there is a real impact, certainly. What's going on with the new administration cannot stand.

Please feel free to share - and I hope you also will avoid all but small local businesses, use cash, etc.
