Bob Colwell
"We're still there. That's the thing, the recorded output hasn't been what we would have liked, but we're still playing all the time. I'm always amazed, if we haven't played for a month, to get back together with those guys and (discover) just how good they are, ya know," said Bob Colwell, producer/engineer/keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter, about the Hallowell quartet known as The Boneheads.

Danny Boyle's "Slumdog Millionaire" comes at us like a sledge hammer, a punch in the belly and slap in the face, but always with a curvy smile dropped in now and again to ease the incredible tension, heartbreak and fear.
Peppino D'Agostino comes to One Longfellow Square
I thought it would be a great way to celebrate the new year with an incredible acoustic guitarist's newest CD. So, here's "Made In Italy" (Mesa/Bluemoon Recordings) by the Italian-born, long-time California resident Peppino D'Agostino.

Instead of doing categories as I've done in the past, I think this time 'round I shall list the CDs that were the ones that stayed in my players (both car and home) the longest this year.
