---Curveball, the lastest Phish-fest to play Watkins Glen International Raceway, was cancelled late on Thursday night (8/16), just the day before the show after it became apparent that flooding earlier in the week made it impossible to guarantee a supply of fresh water for concert goers who would need it to get thru the three-day festival, as the village of Watkins Glen issued a boil water advisory on Thursday morning! The cancellation became apparent, after the band tried, but failed to secure enough tanker trucks of water for the shows. The band was on stage preparing for sound check on Thursday night when the decision to cancel was made. Many of the 85-thousand expected concert goers were already on-site setting up their campers for the weekend. For the full story, here are a few links:

---Bill MacKechnie, of local prog band, Anubis Spire, posted this week that an invaluable member of the band has passed on. Here’s his facebook post:
“It is with great
sadness that I write to tell you all that ANUBIS SPIRE song writer,
guitarist, vocalist, and my good friend, Marlon Kempmann, passed away
from a heart attack a week ago.
Those
of us who were close to him have known for a while, but out of respect
for the family's wishes, have not been at liberty to announce it until
now. That's been hard.
His is
a loss that will leave a huge hole in all our lives and an even larger
one in our hearts. His generosity, humor, support
for his fellow musicians and love of music were legendary. If you were a
friend of his, you were blessed with the best friend in the world.
Like other friends who have left us
recently, he too has left too soon.
Without
Marlon's incredible work over the last decades, it's doubtful Anubis
Spire would have been as successful as it became. His mastering skills
were often almost supernatural, making even my muddled mixes ultimately
listenable.
His
kindness, generosity of spirit, humor, support for his fellow musicians,
and love of music were genuine, and oft times awe inspiring. If you were
down he'd pick you up. Unsure of yourself, he'd make you see just how
special you really are. If you were disgusted and ready to throw in the
towel, he wouldn't let you. I can only hope he truly knew how special
and loved by so many HE was.
I
apologize to him (and you) now for not being articulate or eloquent
enough to truly tell you all he meant to me personally, and to the other
members of Anubis Spire, but I have been writing goodbyes too much
lately.
As yet,
his family has not posted any other info. If and when they do, I will
post it here.
Thank
you, Marlon, for making the music so much better and all our lives more
joyful. Someday, I hope I can pay you back.”
…that’s a powerful tribute, Bill, when it makes you wish you’d known the guy, too.

REGIONAL ROUND-UP:
----Avenged Sevenfold had to fold the tent on their summer 2018 tour this week, due to the fact that their lead singer has a blood blister on a vocal chord and it is said it will take three months for it to heal!

Here’s an edited version of what Bob Hughes posted on the Burning Moonlight facebook page earlier this week:
“Hey Peeps! The word is out and we are starting to gather information for those who are interested in auditioning as our new
lead guitar
player.
:) We
are still in the process of logistics, equip, etc., as we setup and get
ready for auditions. As of now
we will be looking at mid to late May to kick off the auditions. We will be using the following 3 songs: GnR-Sweet Child O' Mine,
Led Zeppelin-Black Dog, and Journey-Stone In Love. In addition to these 3 songs we will also play any song on our current
setlist that you may know. Here is a link to our
current song list:
http://burningmoonlightband.com/songs.php
As a band we are looking for a well versed and seasoned player that is always fully prepared, consistent, and responsible in all a
spects of being in a working band. Solid backup vocal skills are an absolute must. You must be willing to work as hard as we do
to make this band exceptional. We are looking to stay true to ourselves and the current genre we perform, however we are
receptive to new ideas and songs. Ideally we want to bring in a player who is enthusiastic about the challenge and will bring in
their own style which will ultimately take
Burning Moonlight to the next level.
We are veteran players and focused on what we do. There is no room for drama or abusive activities that will derail this band.
We will not
tolerate it. The right player with the right skills will find they are
part of a brotherhood and family in this band.
:) We
want to hear from you and we are excited about our next chapter.
:)
To setup an audition, message us directly on our fb page @burningmoonlightband or send Bob Hughes a direct msg in fb.
Thank You
all very much for your interest and if you are ready to rock with us,
let us know!”

Music News for 042018:
---Alex Creamers “band” has gone thru a transformation…It’s now called Alex & Reid (as in Reid Miner, former “7 Miles” drummer)
and it’s about to hit the road for the Summer! Here’s how Alex explained it to me in a personal message on facebook. “We started out as a three piece called 7 Miles, but the bassist left and we decided to keep making music. Reid switched from the (drum) kit to a cajon so it would work with just guitar and percussion and we decided to hit the road this summer. I've been wanting to do this road trip since high school so I finally said enough is enough and started booking shows.” The tour is going coast-to-coast, starting in NYC on 6/25…Philadelphia PA on 6/27…Greensboro NC on 6/30…Memphis TN on 7/6…Baton Route LA on 7/9…New Orleans LA on 7/10 & 7/11…Austin TX on 7/13 & 7/14…West Hollywood CA on 7/19…Ventura CA on 7/22…San Francisco CA on 7/24 & 7/27…Portland OR on 7/30…Vancouver BC on 8/3…Boise ID on 8/7…Boulder CO on 8/12…Independence MO on 8/17…Pittsburgh PA on 8/24, 8/25 & 8/26!

---It’s been nearly a month since the Triple Cities Carousel celebrated it’s 5th Anniversary and announced their changing of hands as Chris Bodnarczuk stepped down and Judith Gross stepped up. Four days later the new publisher balked and it was announced the magazine was no more. In it’s wake were rumors of legal wrangling (which since have proved unfounded) and now firm rumors that some staff writers and community members may be trying to get the rights to the arts magazine away from Equinox Broadcasting (the publisher who quashed the paper.) or start a new arts publication from scratch…perhaps as a nonprofit, or in conjunction with the new Bundy Museum radio station. Forces are at work, but how long before we see a result? It could be as soon as June. Stay tuned.

---Devinne
Meyers revealed on facebook this week that she’s almost ready to
release her first album since her debut with her original band, East
Coast Bigfoot! Meyers
posted, “I will be in the studio this weekend to begin laying down tracks for
'Silver Line,' my long anticipated first full length studio album. In
the last year, so many changes have taken place - in the music,
professionally and personally. This transformation has leaked into this
album, and I'm so ready to share it with you.
Why? Because
it's a story of Pain. Pain in our everyday lives. Loss. Humility.
Mistakes. Betrayal. Tragic events... And the process of coping and
healing through all of it. And I want to share with everyone, that as
much as it can get excruciating, there is healing, and there is love.
There is a silver lining, something to gain. And yes, we may hate the
process. But in this world, nothing remains constant.
Silver Line
is the brush I chose to paint with... an ugly, ugly brush. The stuff
nightmares are made of... sad stories, depression, mania. But my silver
lining is the music. Through my experiences, I created. And through my
creation, I hope to bring healing to those that need it.
I am so
excited to share this with you, and so incredibly grateful for the team
of people both personally and professionally that have believed in me,
and continue to encourage me through adversity. You all are my Silver
linings.”
Well let ya know as soon as we hear what the release date is!
