August has been a busy month North of Disorder. There's been all the fun summer outdoor activities, plus the household and yard maintenance that has to be done while the weather is mild here in the Northeastern US.
Still, the music is is a big part of everything we do. I'm happy to say there has been plenty of exciting action around here, on the trock front. We've been catching all the local Trop bands, and have traveled to Philly a couple of times for great House Concerts at Conchy Joe's
Mrs da Pyrate completes another trip around the sun in August, so naturally, there will be a celebration. This year, she has elected to have a party on the deck. Her plan features a House Concert by an act that's a personal favorite of her's, Davey Werkhiser and Cathy Jo Vine. This duo is part of Davey & The Waverunners band, from Broadway, NJ. They will be gracing the da Pyrate's boards on August 17th. It's not Meg's birth date, but close, and the nearest time that Davey and Cathy could fit the show into their busy summer schedule. I'm sorry. It's a private, "Invitation Only" show, so no seats are available.
Also this month, another exciting bit of musical event news has popped up at the da Pyrate house. Charlie Imes, a Trop Rocker from Del Mar, CA, will be playing a House Concert at our home on October 4th. Charlie is touring America right now, covering many of the lower forty-eight states, with his "Summer's Here" tour. Charlie released his latest CD, "Summer's Here" a few weeks ago, and is on the road taking it to his fans, up close and personal. Earlier this week he was in Spokane, WA, and will perform in Boise, ID on August 15th. He's working his way across the country, trockkin' all the way.
Anyone who is interested in attending this Charlie Imes concert in the Binghamton, NY area, should contact me at dondapyrate@gmail.com. It's the only way you can get a seat. There is a limited number of seats available, at only $15.00 each. Tickets to Charlie's "Summer's Here" show are "first come-first served".
There won't be much more on the 'live music at our house' front, this season. We are still planning to go to Key West during MOTM, this year. Lots of details involved in that, so it's going to eat up our short attention spans.
Below, I'm including a link to Charley's "Drive America" video. I invite you copy and paste it in your browser, and discover the quality of his writing and musical performance.

It may not be a coincidence that just like the song says, Charlie's "seeing America from the window of my automobile".
Enjoy the music, come out to meet Charlie Imes, and.... TROCK ON!
