Did anybody in the area feel the earthquake about 20 minutes ago? I thought it was a truck going by but then a few minutes later heard on the news about a 4.8 quake in NJ that was felt all the way up through New England. It only lasted a few seconds but I did feel it. Did you????

The tour which comes to the Palace Theater in Albany, NY on Tuesday, August 1st at 8 PM includes Gary Puckett and The Union Gap, The Vogues, The Classics IV, Little Anthony, The Turtles and The Cowsills. I was fortunate enough to do a ZOOM interview with the Cowsills which will be broadcast tomorrow (Saturday 7/29) during the 8 am hour of "Moments To Remember" on WVCR 88.3-The Saint. The interview portion is about 35 minutes with about 25 minutes of old Cowsills classics as well as new music from Bob, Paul and Susan Cowsill from their album "Rhythm Of The World" which was released late last year. One of the songs from that album is called "Katrina" and was about their brother Barry who was killed in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Tune in tomorrow, and every Saturday from 6 to 10 am.
