Finger Diddle LIVE 6-28-13




On June 28th, 2013 the band Finger Diddle performed live at the Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY from about 8p-12a. This was the 1st time I got to film them in the 2 years I've been in the area. There are 7 videos/songs from their show, plus 2 of a cool 1956 Chevy that was parked outside.



Playing acoustic electric guitar with a drummer, both doing vocals, Finger Diddle performed several blues songs, classic rock and even a Led Zeppelin I missed getting on film unfortunately.

Classic Car Show & Willie Playmore Band 6-21-13

[1st place trophy winner Michael Maresca with his family proudly standing in front of the 1970 Zenith level SS Chevelle he has had since he was a boy, all original parts except exhaust and only 8K miles, wow!]

 [1920 Model-T]

An awesome Friday night here in Chestertown, NY at the Panther Mountain Inn & Pub, starting with a classic car show from 5:30-9p, then Willie Playmore Band performed their classic & southern rock jams from 8p-12:30a. With a full moon, and so much excitement at these free events, it's no wonder everyone is smiling and laughing in my videos from the night. Below are videos and playlists of the cars and band, all in one place. 

These events are free and all are welcome to attend. The classic car shows are held monthly & there are live bands playing every Friday night with no cover charge at door, so plan a night up in the southern Adirondacks for you and the whole family, enter your own muscle or classic car into the show, or just come watch & vote for your top 3 faves to win trophies for that month's show.

Some of the vehicles featured were a 50's GMC Pickup, a 60's Ford Fairlane, several 60's SS Chevelles (it seemed to be a Chevy heavy evening!), 70's Corvettes (& newer), a gorgeous El Camino, Malibu, Impala, and a 1920's Model-T just to name a few! To end the car show, all the entry vehicles do a cruise through town, a thrill to see and hear all these throbbing engines running down the road.

[3rd place winner SS Chevelle owned by Holly's Dad, Palmer]

I rode in the lead 1978 red convertible Corvette, filming the entire ride from every angle, and embarrassing myself with my giddy giggles and joy, but I don't care ;-)  Where would you like to see me ride in the next show?

Below is the playlist of the 9 car show videos I did last night, in 1080i HD:







After the excitement of the car show, it was a relief to sit in the air-conditioned pub and watch one of my favorite local bands, Willie Playmore, performing classic & southern rock hits until the wee hours. 


Below is a playlist of the 2013 videos I've filmed of them so far, starting with the 4 from last night:

I Saw You (Biker's Poem) Look Twice Save a Life




I SAW YOU
biker poem

I saw you,
hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line.

But, you didn't see me,
put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday.

I saw you,
pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk.

But, you didn't see me,
playing Santa at the local mall.

I saw you,
change your mind about going into the restaurant.

But, you didn't see me,
attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief.

I saw you,
roll up your window and shake your head when I drove by.

But, you didn't see me,
driving behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window.

I saw you,
frown at me when I smiled at your children.

But, you didn't see me,
when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless.

I saw you,
stare at my long hair.

But, you didn't see me,
and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.

I saw you,
roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.

But, you didn't see me,
and my brothers donate our old coats and gloves to those that had none.

I saw you,
look in fright at my tattoos.

But, you didn't see me,
cry as my children where born and have their name written over and in my heart.

I saw you,
change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.

But, you didn't see me,
going home to be with my family.

I saw you,
complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be.

But, you didn't see me,
when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane.

I saw you,
yelling at your kids in the car.

But, you didn't see me,
pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me.

I saw you,
reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road.

But, you didn't see me,
squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn.

I saw you,
race down the road in the rain.

But, you didn't see me,
get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date.

I saw you,
run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time.

But, you didn't see me,
trying to turn right.

I saw you,
cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in.

But, you didn't see me,
leave the road.

I saw you,
waiting impatiently for my friends to pass.

But, you didn't see me.
I wasn't there.

I saw you,
go home to your family.

But, you didn't see me.
Because, I died that day you cut me off.

I was just a biker,.....

A person with friends and a family.

BUT, YOU DIDN'T SEE ME

Americade Bikers, band Sons of Octomom & Bass Diva at P-House 5-7-13


I wasn't going to film on Friday night, in fact, wasn't even going to go see the show. BUT a couple friends begged me to go, and I rarely leave without a camcorder because I don't want to miss something rare. So Friday June 7, 2013, The Sons of Octomom band played at Panther Mountain Inn here in Chestertown, NY from about 8p-12:20a, and man am I glad I went! The lighting was great for these videos, twelve in all, not counting the funny t-shirt video.


Sons of Octomom band consists of Eric Peter on lead vocals and acoustic lead guitar, his 19 year old son Tyler Peter on drums (no nepotism here, he is just one of the most phenomenal drummers I've ever seen), and Jeff Belding on bass guitar. 

Eric Peter, leader of Sons of Octomom and numerous other bands.




On this rare evening, Michelle "Bass Diva" Howland performed 2 songs with the band, Some Kind of Wonderful as lead singer and bass guitarist while Jeff took a break, and another, Proud Mary, as backup vocals, and she nailed it! The crowd went wild for her as usual, not that Jeff isn't a favorite bass player as well, his energy cranks up the crowd, not to mention his talent on those strings. 






Here's one of my favorite songs of the night, by a band I hadn't heard of before and now need to explore much more of, Camel Walk by Southern Culture on the Skids.



Since this past week was the annual event in Lake George, NY for Americade, there were plenty of bikers enjoying the show and a break from the rain, the parking lot packed with gorgeous motorcycles, which I was forced to take a couple photos of this wicked ape-hanger custom that glittered like diamonds even though it was pitch black dark out. 



Too bad the Sanyo GH4 camcorder isn't ideal for photography, but the pics below should still give you an idea of the awesomeness of the bike.



There were a group from Westchester County, NY I had a drink with before leaving, and this cool older dude had the best t-shirt of them all in the bar that night. While trying to take a pic of the shirt, I pressed the video button and ended up with a short video of the shirt too (See the playlist for that video along with the other 12 of the band, at bottom of this page). 
OLD GUYS RULE, yes, they do! ;-)

And finally, the playlist of videos from the show, starting with Tyler Peter on drums doing a Buddy Holly cover, Not Fade Away:





The band Sons of Octomom cover rockabilly, surfer music and folk, with a few surprises thrown in from classic rock and reggae, this is a group not to be missed. Check them out fully at http://ericpetermusic.com/

Get a peek of me at 0:04 and 3:34 or so, since our designated driver Chris filmed this one while I took a break:






On May 31, 2013 Steven L Smith Band & Metamorphose Jones performed at Ashes Pub http://www.ashespubandgrill.com/ in Warrensburg, NY. I was lucky enough to be there to film 7 videos that night, having not seen them in nearly a year. The place was packed wall to wall and the dance floor full all night long. 

For more info on the band, official music videos, schedule and booking, see their website at: http://stevenlsmithband.com

Lastly, a little video of me at home, done on a dare, getting ready to head out for the night:
