Every Little Thing - Songs 2014 FV

Here is another Final Version mix of Songs 2014. This one sounds like a party mix and certainly has that feel. When I was putting this together I was thinking about some of those late nights working the sound booth at the Pastime and the dance floor was full. I tried to imagine myself in a sound booth spinning the tunes with these songs from 2014. Well, this is not exactly a dance mix but does have that late night groove that would keep people swaying to the beat at the bar.

Dinner @ Cafe 59 - 1st Friday

Becky and I went out to dinner tonight on Allen Street at one of our favorite restaurants that we have gone to many times over the years... Cafe 59. It was also First Friday and the neighborhood was parked up. But there was some nice evening weather as we walked down Franklin St to Allen. We first stopped at a art gallery to see a show of the work of Becky's friend Barbara. It was a small space and very cramped so we did not spend a lot of time there after greeting Barbara and Brian.

Then we went across the street for dinner. It was a little later than we usually go there to eat and it was also a Friday night so it was crowded and service although always good was a little slower than usual. Becky had a Buffalo chicken finger wrap with those wonderful potato wedges and I had a harvest wrap and potatoes. Wonderful food.

I had some Southern Tier Pumpking on tap. It was my first time having any pumpkin beer this season. I followed that up with a Six Point Crisp German pilsner. Becky had an Allagash White.

I took this photo of my dinner and sorry that it turned out to look like I had a ketchup dinner. LOL.

People Got The Power - Sing It!

A song for Election Day... let's sing! An inspiring performance from Patti Smith.
