Spring is finally here! With the 72 degree weather today – not too hot, not too cold – it was the perfect day to hike Sleeping Giant Mountain in Hamden, CT. As a Quinnipiac University alum, I am familiar with this landmark mountain which overlooks the main QU campus. Even before my studies at Quinnipiac, [...]

Recently, I played a gig in Tribeca, (lower Manhattan) NY. The Hors D’oeuvres served that evening included little mini burgers that were so tasty me and the boys in the band [...]

We tried to emphasize that there’s no “correct” way to use it, that it’s just a tool; it’s about being creative and using that tool [...]
As a musician, life-long resident of Connecticut (okay except for attending college in Florida), weekend travel warrior, and foodie, my travels (and musical endeavors) have afforded me the opportunity to visit great places and sample many epicurean delights throughout the state. Now I’m sure many of you already know of some of Connecticut’s more famous [...]
This is not what many of you in Connecticut remember as the Bee and Thistle Inn, it’s got a whole new look and a spa too and it is a WOW. Linnea and David Rufo have poured their heart and soul into this beautiful Inn in Old Lyme, Connecticut and it is amazing. It’s the [...]
