KISS on Madison Avenue, NYC

When out and about in NYC, one stumbles on stuff you never expect to see.  This storefront display at John Varvatos, Madison Avenue, NYC, caught my eye when I was in a car with some friends.  I went back this evening to take the photos.  Congratulations KISS for your induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 10, 2014!

Jon & The Jones

My friend Helen Destroy (Helen M. Buttolph) is the drummer in Jon & The Jones.  They played at the Mercury Lounge on 12.13.13 and they were kind to let me shoot some pics.  My first time shooting a band.  I had a lot of fun.  BTW... their music is EXCELLENT.  Check them out!

Check out the pics I shot on my Flickr photostream... 

This verse sums up how I have been feeling lately...

‘Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
Where they’re far more suited than here.
From: “Soul Meets Body”
Death Cab For Cutie

Music has a way of piercing through the subconscious and capturing emotion. I may have listened to a song many times and heard the lyrics but once in awhile a song strikes a chord of recognition of what I’m feeling.
