Holiday Reflections, Fa la la la la and All That

The egg has been nogged, presents wrapped and unwrapped and spirited merriment has been made.  The whirlwind is over and its time to reflect back on the haze that was the holidays.  Besides happening upon my new favorite cocktail, clementine vodka (Svedka if you please), I've been forever changed by my latest discovery, international song sensation Kevin McManus.





Somehow I finagled the coveted invite to a holiday party hosted by local real estate tycoon, Amanda Armstrong of Sotheby's By-The-Sea, and attended by Rockport's finest.  I was absolutely giddy over the whole thing but I did my best to remain inconspicuous (ha!), well-mannered and composed. Inconspicuous was tough as I moved thru the elbow to elbow crowd with a gigantic camera around my neck.  Oh well, I wasn't arrested so I'm fairly certain I conquered "well-mannered".  Success!

While I expected entertainment at this little soiree, I had no idea of the caliber.  McManus was easy and smooth.  He had us swaying and swooning and rockin' and rollin'.  He played the guitar effortlessly and took requests from the crowd.  It was a perfect start to a perfect holiday season!!






While I'd love to tell you that Kevin McManus is easily booked here in the States, you'll have to wait in line.  McManus resides in Sligo, Ireland full time with his lovely wife Clara.  For booking information Kevin can be reached via Facebook just follow the link to the right or you can always shoot me an email at ishootrockstars19@gmail.com  and I'd be happy to put you in touch with the rockstars!!

See you at the show!!

Quick Pic from the Back Page

I took a quick ride up to Lowell tonight to see the Mike Payette Band featuring Cassandre McKinley. The Back Page is a great little underground spot in an alley just off Kearney Square adjacent to the river.




It was a foggy night but it made for a cool pic.....



Loved the decor inside too...........



The music was great!  Smooth and easy..........

Cassandre McKinley






Check it out sometime!!
