K-Chuck Radio: If we close our eyes and believe it might come true…
Eric Carmen passed away over the weekend. Aged 74. And this morning, when I saw the news of his passing, I realized that for a time in the 1970’s and 1980’s, if you wanted a mixture of power pop and symphonic bombast in your Top 40 tracks … you could count on Eric Carmen without…

Ten years ago, as I was driving on the New York State Thruway on my way from New York City to Albany, I saw what looked like an old barn along the side of the road. The barn had the word “Jerry’s” on the roof. I eventually pulled over, drove back along Route 81, found…
Read MoreThe $20 Junior Challenge – Race 6
After his nice win last week – giving him two wins on the 2024 Saratoga Harness season – my $20-on-his-nose-each-week stallion Pay Me To Knight (also known as “Junior”) moves over this week to the sixth race. He drew post position $7, with a morning line of 15-1 odds. Why so high? Because in that…

Read MoreHey, Nazareth women’s ice hockey team … NIGHT NIGHT!!
Okay. I’m home last night, laptop computer up and ready. I log into the Hamilton College website, then go to the athletics page, and there it is.

Read MoreThe Adventures of Prisma and Hydrofera Blue
That sounds like a way-cool superhero concept, doesn’t it? I can see it now. The evil villains have Silver Star City in its grip. And just when all hope seems lost … Out of the sky … like bolts of lightning … there they are. Silver Star City’s two guardians of justice, the superheroes Prisma…
Read More“I pulled into Nazareth … on the way to the NCAA’s…”
Last year, I blogged about the amazing success achieved by my alma mater‘s women’s ice hockey team. The Hamilton College Continentals made a lot of noise in their first-ever NCAA tournament run, knocking off several colleges before getting up-ended by Amherst in the semifinals.
