Of late, I’ve had lots of fun at the harness track. I might not win lots of money at the harness track, but it’s still a nice day outside and worth a couple of hours of my time. Plus, on Sundays, my horse Mugshots Bro – a 7-year-old trotter with plenty of power – seems…

Oh come on … Not the Banana Splits, too …
As a child of the 1970’s, I feasted on Saturday morning programming. And I had a serious feast for the Saturday morning creations of Sid and Marty Krofft. Their puppet / live action series were inventive and creative and fun. I’ve already written in the past about how Joy the Bugaloo was one of my…

I received the death certificate last Thursday. It should have arrived a day earlier, but there was a mix-up at UPS. Well, my father died four months ago, what’s another day to wait? Backstory. Last week, I discovered – right around Father’s Day Weekend – that my biological father, Robert Miller, had passed away in…

One frame in the mystery roll … do not EIR with these shots …
So I was cleaning up around my apartment and I found this one canister of Kodak EIR 35mm infrared film. Woah. Do you know what this is? It’s Kodak’s ultra-rare color infrared film. This stuff is like finding a Black Lotus card in a Magic: The Gathering pack. But here’s the problem. I don’t know…

Yesterday, I saw that one of my buddies, John Longton – we broadcast Albany Patroons games together and he’s part of the Two Buttons Deep website – posted on Facebook that he would be a fill-in host for a trivia game at the Across The Street Pub in Albany. And I thought to myself –…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: The New Gospel of Rock
I don’t know what caused it – rock and roll / gospel musicals on Broadway, or the blending of R&B and gospel on the radio – but for a decent period of time, we had plenty of rock and roll / R&B gospel songs preaching the word of the Lord on our Top 40 radio…

You would have to be a really dedicated fan of early 1980’s club music to know about Garfield Fleming. Fleming was a former member of the legendary soul group The Delfonics, joining the group after their early 1970’s hits – but taking part in some successful tours with the group. In 1981, Fleming recorded a…

When it comes to the discussion of which science fiction franchise tops all – whether it involves the Enterprise and Vulcans and Borg in Star Trek, or the Millennium Falcon and the Jedi and the Sith in Star Wars … well, the choice is up to you. I love them both with rather equal fervor, and…

Every time around this year, around Father’s Day, depression hits me. I am reminded of how many of my friends are celebrating Father’s Day with their beloved fathers – or are posting memories on social media of their beloved fathers who have been called to Glory. I don’t have those memories. My biological father, Robert…
