ACROSS THE DESKBy Whitey & Robin Noll

THANK YOU to one and all who helped raise money for our

taxes. This was the first year we were able to pay our taxes with

money saved instead of borrowed. That was such a relief. It is

humbly to ask for help and we truly appreciate all those who

have showed such love and support this entire year. I asked

Fred, our tax accountant, if I should stop doing the magazines.

At first he said, “I can’t tell you that.” Then when we were

done going over everything he said, “ I wouldn’t give it up, you

were a mess when you first came and you’re just beginning to

see the light at the end of the tunnel.” Those words were what I

needed to hear to keep on keeping on. I’m sure many

performers and musicians can relate to the feeling of wondering

if anyone does appreciate what you do. If you should just quit

on your dream and persue another carreer. Needless to say, the

Pennsylvania Musician Magazine will continue on it’s

journey. If anyone has any suggestions on how we can better

serve the music community in general please email or give me

a call. It’s always good to get input.

The 2nd Fight for Our Forum was held at Gullifty’s on a

storm tossed night. We were very thankful for those who braved

the elements and came out to party with us. A great group of

musicians gathered together with Mycenea Worley starting it

off. Mycenea’s songwriting, musicianship and vocals are

always astounding. It was a blowin’ and a stormin’ outside but

inside was a calm, peaceful vibe going on with Mycena’s

music. Next up was SOS, Rachel keeps bragging on this group

and now I know why. They were solid and had great vocals.

Gypsy Caravan finished off the evening and I had the

privilege of hearing Gypsy Caravan at the Millennium Music

Conference so I knew ahead what a treat my ears were in for.

band, Brand New Wings, closer to home, so Deezle Churchhad to find a new bass player. Luckily they did, and they areplaying more shows in the area. If you like modern countrywith a southern rock twist, get out there and support DeezleChurch. This month I had a special Sunday party to go to. It wasMycenea Worley’s Super Secret CD Release Party. She threw

a party for all of the people that backed her on her Kickstarterproject. We all got to hear her latest EP, “Siren” for the firsttime, and we all left with our very own signed copy. It was cooltalking to people there and finding out how they first heardMycenea play, and how they are hooked onto her music.Mycenea’s EP is filled with six amazing songs. I was alsoexcited to see “Low” on it, which is one of my older faves ofMycenea’s. “Siren” will be officially released on May 21st. My last night of the month was our PA Musician Magazine

benefit, Fight for our Forum 2. I can’t say THANK YOUenough to all the people and businesses that donated to ourraffle, and a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who came outand supported the event, and especially to the musicians,Mycenea Worley, SOS, and Gypsy Caravan for playing forus. It was a great night celebrating the PA Musician Magazinewith people that truly appreciate all of our hard work anddedication to the local music scene. After listening to Mycenea’s EP for a week, it was awesometo hear her perform her new songs live. Quite a few peoplewere hearing Mycenea for the first time, it was cool to see howexcited they got about her performance. Mycenea’s voice isvery unique and definitely not something you hear all the time.Check out Mycenea’s schedule in this issue and get out thereand support her and her amazing music. SOS continued the night for us with their more alternativerock covers. They even threw in a little country. Word on thestreet is they are going to work some of their old originals backinto the set, I sure do hope so. I loved their originals years agoand would love to hear them again. SOS even played someRush in honor of them getting dedicated to the Rock and RollHall of Fame. They played a great set that everyone enjoyed. Gypsy Caravan finished up the show for us with theirrockin’ set of covers and originals. Jen has a great voice and awild stage presence. She’s also backed up by some greatmusicians. All of their stage presence is awesome and definitelyhelped liven up the night. People finally got out on the dancefloor. Since we chose to have the show end early at 11, it was ashock to a lot of people that are used to rockin’ the night away.We wanted there to still be time for people to get out there andsupport all of the other bands that were out there trying to makea living that night. I was so touched by all the people that personally came up tome and told me how much they love reading my articles. Itmakes it a little easier to be writing this article while I’m flyingover Nebraska (according to the pilot). Thank you again for allthe continued support!! You ALL Rock!! Well, we’ll see what happens this month in the life of RachelRocks. I can tell you one thing, there is never a dull moment inmy life, and for that, I am very thankful.

The Badlees are in the studio getting a new CD ready for an

October release. Meantime they have gotten the call to open for

music travels far as Bob hand picked the band to open for him.

The Badlees opened for him years back and Bob gave them the

call up.

That darn Kix band is everywhere. After a hot show up here

CD of new Kix music. Steve Whiteman was on Eddie Trunks

Nationals continued...

London but will not for the U.S. tour. Wyman was disappointed

in only getting to play a few songs “It was great for five minutes

because that’s about as long as they let me play.” He added, “I

came off just as I was warming up and getting into it. When they

asked me to go to America for two weeks to do three shows

there, I said ‘For two songs? No thank you.” When asked if

Mick Jagger wanted him to play with the band on a permanent

basis. “I’d say ‘no.’ Thirty years was great but I’ve got better

things to be doing now. That time has gone.”

Ozzy Osbourne has denied rumors of a split from his wife

Sharon and apologized to his family for returning to drink and

drugs. Touring this year with Black Sabbath, the singer says he

was in a “dark place” but has been sober for 44 days. The 64-

year-old Osbourne apologized for his “insane behavior”. Black

Sabbath only have three U.S. reunion dates with a stop to PNC

Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ on Aug 4th. The reunion tour

goes along with Black Sabbath’s first album with Ozzy

Osbourne since 1978. Produced by Rick Rubin, “13” is due

out June 10th.

Chi Cheng, bassist for Grammy-winning rock band the

Deftones, died April 13th, after struggling to recover from

serious injuries suffered in a car crash more than four years ago.

Cheng, 42, spent years comatose, but had recently shown some

signs of improvement. Cheng played on five albums with the

Sacramento-based band. He was ejected from a car that collided

head-on with another vehicle on Nov. 4th, 2008, in Santa Clara.

Punk band Rancid have over 25 gigs for their summer tour.

Singer Tim Armstrong is pulling double-duty with his other

group Transplants opening the show. Transplants also feature

rapper Rob Aston and Blink-182 drummer, Travis Barker.

Dates include: June 19th – Silver Spring, Md., The Fillmore

and June 22 – Philadelphia, Pa., Electric Factory.

Chrissy Amphlett, lead singer of the Australian rock band

Divinyls whose hit “I Touch Myself” brought her international

fame in the early 1990s, died at her home in New York City on

April 21st, she was 53 years old. “Christine Joy Amphlett

succumbed to the effects of breast cancer and multiple sclerosis,

diseases she vigorously fought with exceptional bravery and

dignity,” her musician husband Charley Drayton said in a

statement. Amphlett was renowned for her distinctive singing

voice as well as edgy stage performances clad in school

uniforms and fishnet stockings.

My Chemical Romance have disbanded. The band issued this

statement; “Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a

true blessing. We’ve gotten to go places we never knew we

would. We’ve been able to see and experience things we never

imagined possible. We’ve shared the stage with people we

admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends. And

now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks

for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure.”

Mayday, mayday…Summer season is about to explode, and

my calendar is rapidly filling up with numerous outdoor

concerts, festivals and other special live music events. This

outdoor music season is already shaping up to be a busy one!

But lots of live music happened indoors in recent weeks,

especially at Aldo’s. The biggest event to happen there last

month was the arrival of The Reverend Horton Heat to

deliver a fire-and-brimstone rockabilly and roots-rock

throwdown before a packed house. “The Rev,” Jim Heath, led

the way on lead vocals and classic Gretsch guitar; flanked by

longtime upright bass player Jimbo Wallace and returning

drummer Scott Churilla. The Reverend Horton Heat

immediately brought the Aldo’s crowd to full frenzy with

several of their best-known favorites early in the set, leading off

with “Psychobilly Freakout,” followed by “Lonesome Train,”

“Baddest of the Bad,” “It’s Martini Time” and “Jimbo Song.”

Interspersed with audio clips from classic commercials like Hai

Karate aftershave, the group also broke out song favorites like

“Drinkin’ and Smokin,’” “Honky Tonk Night Time Man,” “400

Bucks” and more. “The Rev” and Jimbo swapped instruments

on a rendition of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode,” honored

audience requests for “Galaxie 500,” and dedicated the slow

and schmaltzy “In Your Wildest Dreams” to the ladies in the

house. When the crowd demanded more, the group quickly

responded with a four-song encore that included a version of

the Dead Kennedys’ “Holiday in Cambodia” and closed with a

storming take on Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues.”

Altoona’s Railroad City Murder Machines opened with a

high-octane set of their original songs, and Boston’s

Continental - featuring former Dropkick Murphys guitarist and

founding member Rick Barton - provided the show’s middle

leg with a strong set of their original roots-based rock.

Aldo’s also hosted a visit by Izzy & The Catastrophics in

late March. The Rik Golden Band kicked off the evening with

their edgy brand of rock’n’roll. Namesake Rik on lead voice

and guitar, Rick Ramsey on guitar and vocals, new bassist

Steve Seymore and drummer Todd Harshbarger delivered a

hard-rocking sound informed by Social Distortion and the

Rolling Stones as they did original songs such as “Brown Eye

Mary,” “Jonny Leather Jacket,” the rowdy surf instrumental

“Cresson Gutter Bums” and the reggae-toned “Find It.” The

group also put their own spin on numbers by the Ramones,

Descendents, and even a version of “Don’t Bother Me” by

Rik’s former band, the Full Time Kings. Based in Brooklyn,

Izzy & The Catastrophics then rocked the house with their

catchy and entertaining mixture of honky-tonk, roots rock,

swing, jazz, bebop and more. The former guitarist for Wayne

“The Train” Hancock, namesake Izzy Zaidman gave a rowdy

and playful performance as he led The Catastrophics through

a wide variety of original songs and roots music covers. They

did original numbers such as “24/7,” plus select material from

Hank Williams, Jimmy Martin, Les Paul, Johnny Cash, Chuck

Berry and more. When the audience demanded an encore, Izzy

& The Catastrophics saved the best for last. After performing

their playful original songs “Ay Mammi Mammi” and “Mambo

on Your Grave,” drummer Nick Wight removed his small drum

kit from the stage and set up shop atop the pool table in the

back of the room while the group performed Hank Williams’

“My Bucket’s Got a Hole in It,” before Rick Ramsey from the

Rik Golden Band joined in on harmonica for the rowdy show

finisher, “I Gotta Do What I Wanna Do.” Izzy & The

Catastrophics embarked on a European concert tour this

month.

New Jersey/NYC-area punk rock legends Electric

Frankenstein headlined a triple-bill at Aldo’s last month.

Altoona’s Xs For Eyes launched the night with high-velocity

punk rock originals and a torrid take on “Folsom Prison Blues”

to end their set. Pittsburgh fivesome The Cheats then drilled a

powerful set of their thrashy punk sounds. Frontman Todd

Cheat, guitarists Eric Wrecker and Mark Serpico, bassist

Tito Fishmocker and drummer Aaron Judgement ripped and

tore on an assortment of original songs such as “Day After

Day” and “N.Y.C.,” along with a caustic update of Rose

Tattoo’s “Nice Boys.” Once called “Best Punk Band in NYC”

by New York Press, 20-year punk rock veterans Electric

Frankenstein closed the night with their high-octane sounds.

The cast of frontman/lead guitarist Steve Miller, rhythm

guitarist Sal Cansonieri, bassist Mike Mindless and drummer

Mike Lincoln mixed driving old-school punk rock with spit

and vinegar on a blend of original anthems and jagged remakes.

They did songs from their own library such as “It’s All Moving

Faster,” “Action High,” “Blackout” and “Demolition,” as well

as fractured takes on Black Sabbath’s “Never Say Die,”

AC/DC’s “High Voltage,” and even a stab at Blondie’s “One

Way or Another.” Steve was jubilant and conversational with

the crowd, and Electric Frankenstein played it loose and never

took themselves too seriously. When the Aldo’s crowd shouted

for an encore, the group responded with their song “Sweet Baby

Arrogance.”

Aldo’s enabled original rock to shine early last month during

a four-band showcase called Aprilgeddon. Pittsburgh-based

quintet Until We Have Faces launched the night,

demonstrating a hardcore-laced brand of melodic heavy metal.

Singer Kim Boni’s vocal power and range played counterpoint

against bassist Travis Ankeny’s angst-laden howls and snarls;

Sam Phillips played keys, Dave Corkery guitar, and Ashlin

The Reverand Horton Heat plays upright bass

Ingram drums. Until We Have Faces introduced songs off their debut recording, including the

song they recently recorded a video for, “Conquest.” Johnstown’s Blood Union then delivered a

dark and melody-geared brand of heavy rock. Featuring Inside Out singer/guitarist Tim Frick,

former Pivot guitarist Jay Snyder, bassist Chris Cook and former Solegion drummer Nick

Tercek; Blood Union fired off volatile original assaults such as “Wicked” and “In My Blood,”

displaying tenacious guitar and drum work. Armed with their new CD, “Channels”, Wellsboro’s

Burden My Surrender throttled the Aldo’s crowd with their intense brand of modern rock.

Singer Britney Johnson displayed an uncompromising vocal style; her voice escalating in

intensity as songs erupted into full-bodied heavy-rocking thunderstorms. Flanked by guitarists

Mat Marsiglio and Dale Schoonover, bassist Kyle Linscott and drummer Brad Buffington,

Britney fronted Burden My Surrender on such original tirades from the CD as “A Mind

Invasion,” “One to Blame” and more. Lies, Inc. then finished the night with progressive-

leaning, female-fronted modern rock. Singer Lily Taylor, guitarist Nate Nagle, bassist Kent

Tonkin and drummer Ron Brode introduced several new songs such as “Mommy Dearest” and

“Over and Easy,” along with established original song favorites like “Invertigo,” “Waking the

Misery” and others. Lily’s vocal power and range, coupled with Kent’s, Nate’s and Ron’s

instrumental precision and tight arrangements, commanded attention from the Aldo’s audience

and kept people riveted. All four bands presented distinct hard-rocking styles and sounds,

resulting in a compelling showcase of original music from start to end.

Pittsburgh-based guitar shredder, Xander Demos and his band visited Aldo’s stage last month.

The former guitarist for Stronghold (who graced Aldo’s stage a decade ago), Xander and his

band - singer Mario Brescia, drummer Jeff Anzelone, keyboardist Adam Heuesy and bassist

Ben Chiarini - introduced a sound rooted in classic 1980s-era heavy metal of the Yngwie

Malmsteen/Gary Moore variety. Xander’s fluid and rapid fire guitar work was front and center

as he and the group fired through original song compositions such as “Closer,” “Dancing

Through,” and an update of a former Stronghold original, “Under a Darkened Sky.” Xander and

his band also tackled Yngwie Malmsteen’s “Rising Force,” and did impressive renditions of Iron

Maiden’s “The Trooper” and Judas Priest’s “Painkiller.” Opening the show was Left For Dead,

recently emerging from the remnants of the former Aunt Lisa’s Bone. Singer R.J. Payne,

guitarists Rich Johnson and Denny Yon, bassist/singer Bill Nusom and drummer Dave Russell

pounded out loud and proud rocking favorites from the ‘90s to present; including numbers from

Foo Fighters, Creed, Fuel, Velvet Revolver, Metallica, Collective Soul and more.

Held in remembrance of popular Altoona area guitarist Jeff Wallack and raising money toward

a scholarship fund in his name, the 9th annual Jeff Wallack Memorial Show happened last

month at Pellegrine’s, and again it provided a night of special performances and memories.

Opening the show was “The Sunday night Hurricanes” - the roster of Felix & the Hurricanes

that regularly plays Sunday nights at Shaw’s in Juniata. Singer Steve Oswalt, bassist Joe

George and drummer Bob Watters all played alongside Jeff in Rapid Fire during the late ‘80s;

and with Felix Kos providing the guitar work, this edition of the Hurricanes fired through hard-

rocking classics from Foghat, Thin Lizzy, Blue Oyster Cult and Black Sabbath, along with

versions of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away” and Bruce

Springsteen’s “Born to Run.” Next, Half Tempted’s set began

with a bit of a surprise, as bassist “Big Jim” Ricotta donned a

beat-up acoustic guitar - the “first guitar” he ever owned - and

began crooning “The Riddle Song.” This turned into a re-

creation of the frat party acoustic guitar scene from the movie

Animal House, as NailDriver guitarist Scott Botteicher

stepped onto the stage, grabbed and smashed the guitar John

Belushi-style. (You can watch this on YouTube!) A shocked

Jim, singer/guitarist Ron Dalansky and drummer Kevin Siegel

then launched into AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)”,

triggering a set of classic rock favorites from Cheap Trick, Kiss,

Free, Black Sabbath and more. Half Tempted’s set closed with

a surprise as well, as Rick Wertz joined the group onstage to

help sing Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funk Music.” Kevin

remained onstage as his other band, NailDriver, then tore into a

set of all-out original heavy metal. Kevin, Scott, singer Matt

Watson, guitarist Todd Dale and bassist Scott Bush slammed

scathing assaults such as “The Enemy,” “Hypocrite Anthem”

and “Within an Inch,” as well as a torrid take on Iron Maiden’s

“The Trooper.” Steve Oswalt and Joe George then returned to

the stage to reconvene another of Jeff’s former bands,

Shattered China, along with guitarist Greg Turchetta,

keyboardist Phil Steele and drummer Scott Everhart. While

serving up complimentary hot dogs in front of the stage (a

highlight of Shattered China shows while Jeff was in the

band, he believed in feeding the people), Shattered China

performed an impressive song list that included a scorching

take on Deep Purple’s “Burn,” Elton John’s expansive classic

“Funeral for A Friend,” songs by Black Sabbath and Judas

Priest, plus a resurrection of the obscure Riot classic

“Overdrive.” Next was the most anticipated highlight of this

year’s Jeff Wallack Memorial Show, as Altoona dance

favorites Xeno reunited onstage for the first time in nearly a

quarter century. Singer Paula Glunt, singer/guitarist Rick

Wertz, bassist Randy Rutherford, keyboardist/singer Fran

Hite and drummer Beau Saller were joined by guest sax player

Bob Scholl as they performed a set of classic funk, pop, rock

and dance favorites. Xeno quickly filled the dance floor with

favorites from their heyday such as Cameo’s “Word Up,”

Roxette’s “The Look,” Jody Watley’s “Looking for a New

Love,” Morris Day & the Time’s “Jungle Love” and more. The

night-ending set by the reunited Rapid Fire turned into a bit of

a heavy metal jam session, as Steve, Joe, Bob, plus John

Scarfone and Rich Piccerillo on guitars celebrated ‘70s and

‘80s-era rock and metal classics. Rapid Fire broke out versions

of Def Leppard’s “Wasted,” Iron Maiden’s “Running Free,”

songs by the Guess Who, Deep Purple and more. Inspired by

this special occasion, Rich delivered an all-out guitar shredding

clinic throughout the set, dropping jaws to the floor with his

solo work. Guest Ron Dalansky joined in toward night’s end to

help sing on the Judas Priest arrangments of “Green

Manalishi” and “Diamonds and Rust.” The Jeff Wallack

Memorial Jam again raised several thousand dollars toward

the Jeff Wallack Memorial Scholarship Fund, helping out area

high school students who intend to pursue music or art degrees

after graduation.

As part of their American tour in late March, Ireland’s

Screaming Orphans played a series of shows at Penn State

branch campuses, including Penn State Altoona’s Slep Center.

Four singing sisters comprise the Screaming Orphans; Joan

Diver on drums, Angela Diver on bass and violin, Grainne

Diver on guitar, and Marie Therese on keys and accordion.

The sisters blended elements of traditional and modern Irish

folk, rock and pop on a variety of original compositions and

covers. During the portion of their show I witnessed, the

Screaming Orphans introduced a new original called “City

Lights” which will be on their forthcoming album, and

performed their adaptations of Irish-themed favorites like the

Proclaimers “(I’m Gonna Be) 500 Miles,” “Whiskey in the

Jar” and Steve Earle’s “Galway Girl.” Their presentation was

pleasant and upbeat, featuring bright harmonies and a constant

sense of humor. The Screaming Orphans play throughout the

United States and Ireland over the next few months, and will

appear at the Penn-Mar Irish Festival near York in June, and

the Pittsburgh Irish Festival in September.

Another group that features beautiful and captivating sisterly

vocal harmonies is Pittsburgh’s Rising Regina, who I finally

had a chance to hear for the first time last month at Northern

Cambria’s City Hotel. Sisters Jessica and Kiki Young first

started the group in 2007; joining them currently are multi-

instrumentalist Rich Kulbacki, bassist/upright bassist Phil

Vaughan’s “Cold Shot,” the Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time”

and more. Later in the show, Biscuit Jam’s Nate Cutshall

added his harmonica to Maxwell Strait’s version of “Wagon

Wheel.” As the night progressed, the Phyrst crowd became

more jubilant and got their groove on in front of the stage, and

by night’s end, another rowdy Maxwell Strait party was in the

books. I came away reassured that whatever line-up takes the

stage in their name, Maxwell Strait reliably brings an

excellent, flavorful show. See them every Thursday at the

Phyrst.

For a fresh classic rock and blues experience, Stormy is a

name to look out for. During last month’s show at Altoona’s

Family Pizza & Pub, Stormy - singer Mark Montrella,

guitarist Peter Wolf, keyboardist Charlie Leiden and drummer

Bill Hocherl - performed an interesting slate of classics,

including many not normally heard on area live stages. Among

highlights this night were a hybrid version of “Layla” that

paired the Eric Clapton acoustic first half with the Derek & the

Dominoes second half, with Charlie’s sparkling piano work

providing the colorful homestretch; Stormy’s surging spin on

Traffic’s “Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys,” renditions of Al

Stewart’s “Year of the Cat,” Procol Harum’s “Whiter Shade of

Pale” and more. The performances are tasteful and precise, and

you can tell that these musicians thoroughly enjoy the musical

turf in which they dwell. Stormy brings their distinctive classic

rock and blues presentation to Altoona’s Southern Alleghenies

Museum of Art for their “Blue Monday” event May 20th.

Two contests have been keeping area acoustic musicians and

groups busy in recent weeks. Northern Cambria’s City Hotel is

again presenting their 4th Annual Battle Of the Acoustics

competition, as acoustic performers put their best sounds

forward to win audience votes and win a grand prize. Two acts

from each preliminary night advanced to the semifinals. At

press time, the semifinal rounds had concluded, with Paul

Hoover, Brooks & Brindie, Punk Fiction, 2nd Street,

Blindsighted, Tuckey & Rooster, Born & the Beanstalk and

R&R Acoustics all advancing to the finals on May 1st.

Meanwhile, Pellegrine’s is staging their first-ever Acoustic

Contest on successive Tuesday nights. Eighteen hopeful artists

and performers started out, with audience votes eliminating two

contestants during each round. At press time, ten acts survived

and advanced into the quarterfinal rounds: Mike “Scooby”

Rubbe, Left For Dead, Jumpin’ Rob, Phil Baskin, John

Wolf, EVK, The Backyard Rockers, Cousin Mike, Colton

Fouse, and Tuckey & Rooster.

Other groups and performers I witnessed recently included

two tune-ups from bands you will be seeing on stage very soon;

7th Gear, with new frontlady Ashlee Thompson (ex-Silver

Sunday/Splink) during their informal dress rehearsal

performance at Pellegrine’s and Skye 2.0, a new mach edition

of a 1970s-era Altoona progressive rock force, also at

Pellegrine’s. I also saw Tom Yannitelli’s April acoustic

performance at Patton’s Thirsty Dawg Taverne, during which

he was joined by guests Craig Fitzpatrick and Dale Nitti;

Flight 19 at the 4D’s Lounge last month, two thirds of Triple

Threat at Pellegrine’s in late March, as bassist Bill Hunter

recuperates from a recent heart attack.

News & Notes: Pure Cane Sugar, Jerry Haines, Jay Smar,

Your Dad’s Friends, Tree, The Hawks Blues Band, Flight 19

and Jordan White are among the musical entertainers at the

46th Annual Blair County Arts Festival, happening May 18-

19 at Penn State Altoona. A new album paying tribute to

Patrick Halloran, singer for Pittsburgh Celtic-rock group

Ceann who died in a 2011 traffic accident, has been completed;

organized by brother/bandmate Brian Halloran, “The Legend

of Handsome Pat” features songs that Pat wrote, performed by

Scythian, Icewagon Flu, The Fighting Jamesons, The

Havers, Paul Tabachneck, Cruel Seamus, The Hang Lows,

the remaining members of Ceann and more. The Big Time has

issued their new CD, called “Dreamers and Believers”.

Monster Track Supergroup releases their new CD this month.

Limb By Limb has signed with indie label Born of Chaos

Records, and will release their first CD, “The End Of All Good

Things”, on June 1st. Guitarist Adam Becker has parted ways

with Ganister to devote more time to career and family. Austin

Wolf has taken over guitar duties in Giornesto, replacing Ray

Anthony.

Spring is upon us and there will soon be more opportunities

available to get out and play your music. Just the fact that it is

spring makes you feel more motivated and be more productive,

but be careful in this day and age everywhere you look there are

people calling themselves “life coaches” telling you they can

help you with this. They will tell you, that to determine what

you want out of life, you need to visualize your success, and to

achieve your destiny? Everywhere there’s the message that, for

your life to work, you must have a plan and that to be able to

come up with the proper plan you need to buy the book, or sign

up for the class.

Thousands of mentors are also available to give you the

benefit of good counsel. What bothers me about this are my

feelings that people are becoming busier setting goals and

making plans than in living their lives, and experiencing what

they need to be a true artist.

I am not saying we should live only in the moment, like

there is no tomorrow. I am saying we should all live today

fully, and always remember your family and loved ones. It is a

fine and good thing to have a mission, an overall idea of how

you want to live and where you want to go with your life and

musical career. Just don’t let the planning take precedence over

experiencing it.

Having something to look forward to is a wonderful feeling,

but so is living your life and having great adventures to write

about in your songs. Don’t just have a plan, have an adventure

of a life time, that you and others after you will write and sing

about.

SANE ADVICE By John KereczDave Nott on guitar amazes me. It’s hard to explain the vibe

that was there, all I can say is there was no pressure it was just a

lot of love being generated there. Special thanks to Matt for

providing the venue and sound for us. THANKS MATT!! That

same vibe of love happened at the first Fight for Our Forum

as well. Sometimes when you work behind the scenes you just

get to feeling like, does it really matter? You hear snippets of

negative comments and such and then you go to something like

these events and it’s like wow, that was cool and you get

excited for your craft again. That’s what live music, in most

instances, does for people. That’s why so many clubs, concerts

and events are well attended. We need each other, we need to

interact with each other and live music gives us a reason to get

together and interact. Facebook is nice, it let’s you know you

should have gotten off your computer and gone to a show.

Speaking of getting together and doing good for your

community, there’s several benefits happening in May, most of

them on the weekend of the 17th and 18th. You’ll have to take

your pick at which one you want to go to, or maybe you can

take up the challenge and see how many different shows you

can do in one weekend (Jim Price does that all the time).

Lifting Little Lives is a ROAST & RUN FOR LITTLE

ONES, the proceeds from this event goes to help local ill and

disabled children. Bands featured for this event include:

Tongue ‘N’ Cheek, Sucker Punch, and Small Town Titans. If

you’re into camping and live music and eating great food you

can do all three at this event . You can check out the details on

page 17.

On Saturday, the 18th is the Rockin ‘N Ridin’ for Recovery.

This event is for the Wounded Warrior Project and takes place

at Fort Indiantown Gap Community Center. Music this evening

will be provided by Kat & the Madd Dogz, Exit 22, Wired,

and Bad Wrench featuring Steve Creter. Steve Creter’s name

brings back memories. When Whitey and I moved to Annville

back in 1972, Whitey met Steve in downtown Annville. Steve

had a guitar with him and Whitey invited him up to jam. They

eventually did a duo for a short time and Steve is still

performing live and Praise God Whitey is still teaching and

singing!

So many clubs are providing excellent shows throughout the

state as well. You all are going to have some tough choices this

month on where you want to spend your entertainment dollars.

Jackyl is at Tubby’s and you best get your tickets early as they

will have to close their doors once they reach capacity. Back In

Black returns to Tubby’s the following night and coming soon

is Molly Hatchet.

Todd the new manager for The Ritz On Main is bringing in

quality entertainment as well. They have a great couple of

months coming up including their first Original Music Night on

June 21st. This will include Jett Prescott an up and coming

singer/songwriter who has just released his first EP. ,

Smashbox Symphony a great band that includes John West of

Vanessa fame as well as members of the band FaceDancer,

and also on the bill that night is King Friday which contains

members of the band “Cracked The Sky”. More information

about all the bands can be found on the Ritz On Main website

www.TheRitzONMain.com

The Battle of the Bands is going well at The Ritz On Main.

They just finished their 3rd preliminary Battle and the winners

so far have beenz; Februayr -Crossfire, a tight blues rock band

with a great guitarist reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughn. They

played a perfect version of Peter Frampton’s “do You Feel Like

We Do” complete with talk box to clench the win. March-

Blackout a band of youngsters with an amazing female

drummer and two great guitarists up front that played “Hot for

Teacher” and “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” to

unanimously win the night. April- Thing 3 from York won with

an energetic set that combined audio visuals and a set list that

had everyone dancing and enjoying the night.

Dan Reed will be performing Thursday, May 23rd along

with Sandy Hall and Sofia Nicole. Dan has had an interesting

life and was on tour with the Rolling Stones at one time and a

host of others. He managaed a record company and a highly

successful night club in Portland Oregon in his journey. Dan

now lives in Paris, where he has created the new label ‘ZERO

ONE’ where his debut solo album will be released, as well as

many other artist will be represented. With ‘Coming Up For

Air’ Dan presents a group of songs that mirror his life journey

and the search for that elusive deeper resonance we all hunger

for at some point in our lives. With songs composed from Hong

Kong to New Delhi, Jerusalem to London, he has come full

circle to do what he has always done best- create and to

perform to all who will listen. For more information, his life

story and musical search, including tour dates, sound clips and

contact information, please visit www.danreed.com.

It continues to astound me at how many people there are who

are involved in the music industry throughout Pennsylvania. So

many people promoting and hosting shows. People are writing

new songs everyday and recording them at home and in studios,

Posting them on you tube and continue to work on their music.

Whitey has several students now who have the desire to some

day perform for a living and some learning in their later years

because it’s on their ‘bucket list’ to learn an instrument. We are

here to give you an avenue to promote your talent. The only

way for us to survive is by your continued support with your

ad dollars. It’s a win, win situation for both of us when you

place an ad in the PA Musician Magazine; it helps us to keep

putting out the paper and in turn we let over 12,000 plus people

know that you are a professional musician. Let’s work together

to make the Pennsylvania music scene thrive.

Have a great month and remember to love one another and to

treat each other as you want to be treated, it goes a long way.
