About 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11, 2013, fire crews responded to a fire at The Ballston Center Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, in Ballston Spa.

Special thanks to him for letting me in the classroom on basically three days notice. Also thanks for Mrs. French and Mr Blanchard and Stuart Williams, the coordinator of  Community Relations for spreading the word to literall

I'm slowly losing count of how many songs I've written for local towns.  But the quest continues to write one for each hamlet, village or "one horse town" in the Capital Region.  (And don't take the "one horse town" line personally.  I think those are the most fun to write.

The summer season in the Albany area also means that it is fair season! Here’s our guide to all the great county fairs you can find in the Albany, NY area - whether you love the cotton candy, fried dough, the agriculture, the rides, the midway, or a little bit of it all, the county fair is always a summer tradition! ...

The Capital Region is NEVER at a loss for something to do, and this weekend is no exception.  Everything from boat cruises on the Dutch Apple in downtown Albany to music and fun in a church parking lot in Burnt Hills.  Say WHAT?
