Re: “Concert Review: RPO "Classic Bond"”
I am a life-long 007 fan (although still feel strongly that Sean Connery was second-to-nobody in the role), and attended this concert on Friday night. I am also the son of a Julliard-trained classical pianist, hence from birth I've learned a thing or two over the years with regard to music in general and musical performances.
Although I enjoyed the concert in general, I too felt that this performance of the music was "scaled back", and lacked the passion, volume, and intensity of the original music. I also noted that the vast majority of concert attendees sat completely still and static throughout the concert, while my head was bobbing and weaving with the beat. Overall, I was wondering, "where's the passion"?, both in terms of the orchestra and particularly the audience.

Re: “ROCK | Winter Creek Fest”
Max Creek is great, Water Street... not so much. Unfortunately they seem to have a monopoly on the Rochester music scene for a venue of that size. Drinks are WAY overpriced ($5-$6 for a 12oz keg beer in a plastic cup). $25 cover for a headliner that doesn't take the stage until 11pm and then plays maybe 2 hours... It's Water Street's way of forcing you (and your money) to spend the entire night at their venue. I'd much rather see headline acts go on around 8pm and play 'til 11pm w/ a short set break. Water Street sux.
Re: “ROCK | Winter Creek Fest”
The bands still have pre show tickets available for folks who are ready to spend night or two out groovin' to some great music!
Re: “MUSIC INTERVIEW: Taking a right”
This band definitely became solid when Doug joined on bass. He really knows hows to make that bass line just flow so smoothly with the song, yet pop it enough to be noticeable.
Re: “MUSIC INTERVIEW: Natalie B”
This Girl is the real thing. I have been playing in Jazz, rock , Blues, Country and everything in between for a number of yrs and really felt that I had experienced every thing this city had to offer and was just trying to survive like every other musician in Western New York and then I heard Natalie and became excited about this new fresh and unbelievably talented voice with a strong stage presence to boot. When Natalie asked me if I wanted to play in her band I immediately said yes and I have been having a great time with her band ever since.

Re: “MUSIC PROFILE: Deborah Magone”
Congrats Deb...you're a real star with dreams, combined with peace inside...a rarity...<3
Re: “Concert Review: RoarShark, Moon Zombies at Monty's Krown”
Although this review is valid at points, I think Moon Zombie's ever switching genres is great. They always keep me guessing on what style they're going to play next and I really enjoy the spastic energy of everyone in the band. I've seen them several times and I recommend them to everyone I know, because their style of music is all inclusive.
Re: “HOLIDAY | Center For Youth Services Benefit Concert”

Re: “Silver bells, decked halls, and more”
I enjoyed reading this article, and I enjoy reading Paloma Capanna in City. However, I do have to offer a correction. I saw Handel's Messiah performed on Saturday, December 1, at the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Reformation on Chestnut Street.
