Thank goodness for TECH SUPPORT!



I only got 2 hours sleep last night, but the peace of mind far outweighs the lack of zzzz's. Last week my laptop computer began giving me funny pop-ups while on the internet...every time I would "x" out of a page I would receive the box saying "Internet Explorer has stopped working, searching for a solution" and while never giving me a "solution" I would have to restart the computer. After receiving many people's opinions of how to fix the problem I decided to call my manufacturer HP and was transfered to Tech Support for a PC TUNE-UP (for a nominal fee). It seems the Team is in Kolkata (Calcutta), India in a huge world-wide tech center, and after doing some 3 hours of scans on the laptop, it was found I had about 20 corrupt files that needed to be "purged" from the computer. Having all the "cleaning" performed, and a little more to get rid of files that were slowing the start-up of my laptop, I'm now "good to go" with no viruses, spyware or whatever else messed up my computer...thank you HP Tech Support!

It's still a beautiful place after all these years!


It was my pleasure to DJ a wedding reception for Michael and Melanie over the weekend at a place where I had never played before, The Terrace Room at the Statler Towers in downtown Buffalo. I had played the Statler's Golden Ballroom and Rendezvous Room many times before but never the magnificent Terrace Room a place where my parents had their wedding reception back in the late 1940's (before they left on their honeymoon on a cruise of the great lakes from Buffalo to Duluth, Minnesota and back...a very cool trip at the time). It was also a thrill to be involved with the recent new "owners" of the Statler, Park Lane Catering, who I know will do a wonderful job of updating this incredible Buffalo landmark!

I vote YES for Vick!


Lots of rumors that Michael Vick may be coming to the BILLS! Don't call me a dog-hater (I love dogs) but on pure playing ability I think Michael Vick would be a big asset to the Bills this season (and beyond)...if we had Vick and T.O. on the team do you think it would make for an even more exciting season?

Thanks for coming out to see Ingrid


Thanks to all who came out and enjoyed INGRID MICHAELSON at SONOMA GRILLE in Amherst Wednesday night (my official proof that I was there in the above picture, Rob Lucas, Ingrid, Moi, and Brian Demay). It was a wonderful show for all our winning listeners and long-time friend/owner of Sonoma Grille, Michael Militello, always puts out a fabulous spread and beautiful venue for us!
