Among all the noisemakers and party hats to choose from this New Year’s Eve, here are some of the more interesting options:
— With clothing-of-the-decade themes all the rage, but too often focusing just on the ’80s, Kozy Korner in North Hudson is having a ’70s vibe for costuming at its party, although some of the staffers were not sure exactly what such a theme entails.
— The band Thirsty Camel, a trio that is led on the drums by the owner of Season’s Tavern, will perform at the North Hudson venue on New Year’s Eve.
— Brian Naughton will bring his blues band to Dick’s Bar and Grill for an early evening show, followed by a night of deejay music. In all it’s about seven hours of tunes.
— When the whole last five days is taken into account, there is even a greater amount of music at the Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt. Pushing that figure over the top is the Mayer Brothers Band on New Year’s Eve, the third music act their in five days.
— Speaking of blues, Pudge’s Bar got a jump on things with an early evening show on Sunday, with Willie B. Blues, an act that is billed as “check out the frontman.” We hope you did.
— But some of the fun and games, are indeed games. A bartender at Village Inn in North Hudson said that she has the night off and is going to a Wild game. “My friend knows the dentist for the Wild,” she said. What, you mean hockey players need dentists? Meanwhile, one of her co-workers said that this was her last night — she’s jumping ship for Florida, and getting rid off a different kind of ice.
— Speaking of the Village, they will have the band Rewind on the 31st. Their flyers feature drawings of music notes that are twisted in shape to give a certain edginess.
— After all the fun the previous night, be certain to get up in time to stop by Kozy Korner prior to the noon kickoff wearing Wisconsin Badger Red attire (adding to the colorful, signed jerseys already adorning the walls) and get a free drink — one of the last chances for this great offer this football season. The Badgers are slim favorites on New Year’s Day in the Capital One Bowl at Orlando, Fla. They face South Carolina.

  • ‘Urban Table’ reopens after five months, minus the olive and vine name, but keeping the same old ambiance. It adds a coffee and wine bar, $3 premium drinks prepared under the eye of a barista and the advanced eatery knowledge that comes from the new owner, Ben Jung, a face you’ll recognize from nearby Hudco To Go, who says music is on the way, too, back to this staple Hudson venue.
They’ve added a coffee bar, so you can have a foray of seating for four on stools in front of it, a wine bar and a petite table for two directly in front of the southwest window, and plenty of inexpensive drinks, but other than that The Urban Table as it is known is much like the former Urban Olive and Vine before it. The man who is the brains behind Hudco To Go has brought those $3 premium drinks and more to the restaurant that is kitty-corner to the, again, southwest when you take Locust Street and venture onto...

  • What will Bruce, the top dogg, and Maiden mew about concerning the world when they make a stop in Shakopee? Plenty of tramau to pick from, even if they do not get irate about Iran, or emulate. But closer to home, others of my ilk have been to Italy and more lately, or just out in the garden tending to flowers and kitties.
So many problems in our world, US and UK. How and when to bitch? Waiting for them to be named by a sizeable band, if they shed light on politics and ethical behavior in general, can make you numb. Has anyone else noticed, as we get older and grayer, the similarity in facial look between two who are on vocals, first a rapper and second a metal singer, knotted-side-hair Snoop Dogg and long and straight-to-collar Bruce Dickinson, one who spews island drinks as opposed to the other homemade beer, as Iron Maiden continues on in their latest with a gigantic gaggle of groups with requisite...

  • Deaths and memorials. They do not stop with that given by Miley Cyrus for Dolly Parton. In what follows, I recount the recent musical remembrances of a local musician, as his father lay passing, and that by me in song for my own dad. And the resemblances therein. And a dream reflecting it all. (And newly added, we’ll Curry favor and Frank, and more on Dolly and the God she is close to.)
Just over two years ago, I sang solo an Iron Maiden song, Blood Brothers, slowly strummed via my cell phone to provide the instrumental, as the exact moment my dad was laid to his final rest under clay. A few weeks ago, one-man-band professional Jeff Loven, one of the best musicians I have ever heard and one with whom I have sung for 25 years, strummed the favorite Johnny Cash songs his father loved in the background for the last hour his dad had on this earth, the troubles of which Cash so frequently sang. Certainly, one of them was Hurt,...

A hodgepodge listing of everything that’s truly different but maybe baked porage follows, and we’re not talking about a connect-the-dots or puzzle-pieces contest or one on Trump’s foreign policy, haha, rather what I saw and what will be seen around town in recent times. Mostly, one of each. Think you have the world’s, or more likely local church’s, best grilled cheese sandwich, (coming from the land of, specifically, well curded and curdled milk and honey?) Fry it to the test on Saturday. No this is not an autumn chili cookoff, or char the best burger, or even a poker run...
