The Michel Petrucciani Trio performing live at Live at Münchener Klaviersommer 1998 ~ Via Steinway Musical

Michel Petrucciani (December 28, 1962, Orange, France – January 6, 1999, New York City, USA), was a French Jazz pianist.

Michel Petrucciani came from an Italo-French family with a musical background. His father “Tony” played guitar and his brother Louis played bass. Michel was born with osteogenesis imperfecta which is a genetic disease that causes brittle bones and in his case short stature. It is also often linked to pulmonary ailments. In his early career his father and brother occasionally carried him, literally, because he could not walk far on his own unaided. In certain respects though he considered it an advantage as it got rid of distractions, like sports, that other boys tended to become involved in. Continue reading →

by Kate Falluca

Laurene Dolan directed the Lakeside Players in “Romance in D”, “Sleeping Beauty and the Beast”, and she will be directing them in the upcoming production of “The Vagina Monologues”.

“The Vagina Monologues” introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices. A six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who “liked to look at it”.

Usually the nursery rhyme “Black Birds In a Pie,” would definitely ruffle some feathers, but Julie Sepanski’s nest is full of pancakes. You’d think a mother of five boys would be more like “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but in this case mom creates art, and on occasion a piece or two does make it to the oven.

FRANCO: Name all your pancakes?

FRANCO: How did you come up with the pancakes name? Continue reading →

Friday June 6 at the Kenosha Bloomin’ Days MAIN STAGE

The recipients of the 2006 and 2007 “Battle of the Beatle Bands” at Chicago Fest, Stockwood is the “world’s youngest Beatles tribute band”. At an amazingly young age, these lads bring together their musical proficiency to entertain audiences of varying ages with music that transcends time.

People often ask, “Do the boys lip sync?” or “Do they play a CD in the background to help them out?” The answer to both is a resounding NO! All four boys sing and play their musical instruments without accompaniment from anyone or anything. They are friends offstage and have a musical connection in their admiration of The Beatles.

“I light a thousand lamps each time I reconcile with one lost friend ~I invite you in…when positive forces mingle… our world will never be dim ~”
