About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

Bagpiper plays at Campbell's Point 100 year celebration in Sackets Harbor NY

July 27, 2019- I was hired to play guitar for a dinner party on Campbell's Point in Sackets Harbor NY. Afterwards there was a bagpiper playing at sunset. I snapped this phot of him with my iPhone 6s.

Earlier in the day I worked scraping paint off the front porch of our house in Chaumont, NY. I am using a Porter Cable heat gun to strip away the paint. I only put in 2 hours when the better Half decided we should go to our favorite swimming hole in Cape Vincent with her daughter H & son in law D. WE returned home about 3:00 and had a delicious pop chop dinner with green beans from our garden. At 5:00 I headed to Campbell's Point and had a wonderful time playing guitar for a couple of hours. I got many compliments and was paid well to boot.
