Busking Log 5: Albert Bouchard

Date: Fri May 27
Time: 3PM-5PM
Place: Long Island Rail Road Penn Station

Notes:
Remember that awesome SNL skit when the Blue Oyster Cult rock band is in the studio recording "Don't Fear the Reaper" and their producer, Christopher Walken, comes out asking relentlessly for more cowbell? (Cowbells played/performed by an enthusiastic Will Farrell) Well, our friend Albert Bouchard knows the skit quite well because he's the original drummer of Blue Oyster Cult. I wonder how many times a week he gets asked for more cowbell. haha. Albert, it was so nice to catch you on your commute in the subway on Friday! Thanks for hangin for a few tunes!

See the SNL Vid:

Busking Log 4: Wall Street Shout Out

Date: Thurs. May 26
Time: 5PM-8PM
Place: Wall St. 2/3 Train

Shout Out!:
Special thanks to the guy who swiped Liah through yesterday when we realized we didn't have enough on the metrocard!

Busking yesterday at Wall St. was awesome.. It's so nice to see familiar faces. Liah's voice got really tired because she sang a lot and also sang for three hours the day before at Herald Square. She pulled through, though, and we put in a good high energy couple hours for the business men and women commuters of the downtown financial district.

RIP Michael Meldrum: A Man Full of Love and Music


We were so privileged to know and work with our friend Michael Meldrum who co-produced and performed in the first Chocolate Revolution show at Ani DiFranco's venue Babeville, booked us at the famous open mic at Nietzche's, gave us a bicycle tour of Buffalo, booked and invited us as special guests with him at Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts, and was an inspiring and encouraging friend.
RIP Michael Meldrum, we will miss you.
