 9/3/2025 - Toronto, Canada - I headed North of the border today into downtown Toronto to see one of my favorite bands Tedeschi Trucks Band perform at the Budweiser Stage accompanied by their good friends Gov't Mule opening for them. I drove up early and crossed at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge with no problems and short wait times. I made it into Toronto painlessly and found a lot close to Budwieser Stage off of Fleet St. I walked the city a bit on this gorgeous early September day and grabbed some snacks at Timmy Hoes. I walked over Garrison Crossing and ended up touring the historic Fort York. An interesting and educational tour of the Fort that housed members of the British and Canadian militaries and defended the entrance to Toronto Harbour during the War of 1812. After visiting the Fort, I headed to my favorite park in Toronto, Trilium Park, for exceptional panoramic views of Toronto, last flower blooms of summer, sailboats navigating Lake Ontario and planes landing at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. After relaxing in the park I was off to Budweiser Stage to see a great evening of music. I purchased my ticket for this show long ago to see the first show of these two bands playing together on this tour. My ticket was excellent forth row just left of center stage. Nolan Taylor was the opening act a country singer/songwriter with his intimate tales of heartache, family, good times, and small-town struggles playing a well received short set. Warren Haynes and his band Gov't Mule was up next and played a good set. They opened with Hammer and Nails and did a good jam on Sco-Mule. The band was pretty tight on this evening consisting of Warren Haynes (guitar, vocals), Terence Higgins (drums), Danny Louis (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals), and Kevin Scott (bass). They closed thier set with a good version of Soulshine. After the setup intermission, Tedeshi Trucks hit the stage and entertained the Bud Stage crowd with a typical TTB set. They opened the set with Anyhow and jammed on Who Am I and covered Derek and the Domino's classic Keep On Growing and Prince's 1999. Derek Trucks and wife Susan Tedeschi were in pretty good form tonight and the band was tight as usual. They closed the set with Made Up Mind and came out for two encores being joined by Warren Haynes on the Allman Brother's Stand Back and closing the show again like last show with a soulful Beatle's cover of With A Little Help From My Friends. Another good show at the Bud Stage, see you next season for sure.Slideshow [] | | Duran Duran At CMAC Ends Free Canandaigua Get Away Weekend | Rome Trip Continues With Pope Francis Blessing At Vatican |

 9/3/2023 - Canandaigua, New York - Today, we headed to lovely Canandaigua Lake to enjoy an awesome freebie from Deb the contest queen. Deb won a nights stay at the gorgeous lake side resort The Lakehouse on Canandaigua Lake and front row tickets to see Duran Duran perform at CMAC during their Future Past 40th Anniversary Tour. We arrived early in the afternoon and walked in Kershaw Park enjoying the nice views of the literally hundreds of boaters enjoying a fabulous Labor Day Weekend day on Canandaigua Lake. After, we headed to our hotel and checked in to our nice suite at the Lake House. It had a decent view of the lake from the lanai. We chilled by the nice lake front pool for a bit. We then grabbed a nice early dinner at New York Kitchen and then headed over to CMAC. It was a perfect night and the venue was packed including the lawn. We had front row tickets on the far right of the stage. The opener for tonight was supposed to be a band called Bastille but they had to cancel delaying the start of the show to 7:40 when Niles Rodgers & Chic hit the stage and played a great set. They opened with the classic Le Freak and played a medley of hits from Diana Ross and Sister Sledge. They sounded excellent both Nile Rodgers and the duo of female singers, Norma Jean Wright and Luci Martin, who were beyond good. They closed the set with Good Times. After a short intermission, Duran Duran made an epic outerspace entrance to the delight of the sold out CMAC crowd. They played an excellent almost two hour set. They played many classics including Hungry Like A Wolf, the James Bond song A View To A Kill and Ordinary World to name a few. They sounded excellent and Simon Le Bon's vocals were right on. They closed the set with The Reflex and Girls on Film and the sellout crowd was definitely entertained. They came out for a two song encore of Save A Prayer and Rio. Another excellent freebie getaway courtesy of the Contest Queen Deb, keep them coming.Slideshow [] |  9/3/2017 - Vatican City - The Rome adventure continued today starting our day with the delicious breakfast at the Hotel Artemide. Deb did a little shopping next store to the hotel and then we grabbed a taxi and headed to Vatican City to see the Pope give the Angelus Blessing on this overcast Sunday morning. We arrived at Piazza San Pietro better known as St Peter's Square early to small crowds. We headed into St Peter's Basilica and toured around it's amazing beauty and were able to look in on Sunday mass taking place just simply an amazing place. We headed outside to get a good spot to see Pope Francis give the blessing from his apartment window. We had an excellent spot but the clouds came in and the rain started as large crowds started to form. Thousands of people filled the square and they were chanting and singing in anticipation of the Pope's blessing. The Pope was scheduled for Noon and amazingly the rain stopped at 11:55 and sky cleared as the Pope came out and gave the Angelus Blessing. An excellent experience getting blessed by the Pope. After the Pope blessing, we walked the streets of Rome and stopped at the elegant square at Piazza Navona. Here we took in the beautiful street artists, the Fountain of Neptune and a delicious Italian meal in the square just taking in the gorgeous day and watching the people in the square. We finished the day with a delicious geloto outside the Hotel Artemide watching the Rome police cruising by in their Lamborghini car, that's the car I would want to drive. A great day in Rome.Slideshow [] |
