ALL hALLOWS alert: For more on what to do in this last full weekend before Halloween, starting with THURSDAY, and One Drop at the Refillery, see the lead post shown in the latest dispatches heaDING below. —– Strolling the streets of not Soho in the sunshine, bothering beauties at streetlights, a-chipping heads off rattlesnakes and lighting up eels orbs in the direction of their land holes … All in a hot day’s, cool night’s work — could be Kid Rock — with mild-sauce, hot-pink-dress dreaming, and circling toward Mars and an art night with that drumming Replacement.

To all you true blue followers, hope you enjoy the following run-on expanse as humorous and very warped and a […]

Buddy, can you please spare me a can opener? Since mine doesn’t work. Again. So you can ‘spin’ it this way: The truisms of life today, in the USA, so many of them, can come down to the fact that a can opener tells all, coming full circle. That does, and the fact that its Octoberfest time, but so many seasons have still not arrived, even though it’s very near mid-terms, for both pupils and politicians at the polls.

It’s roughly mid-October in a roughly MAGA America and how is your rough life going? (Seems like early November, but

I’ll say it, and play it, again. And again. Pick one for how fast you can pick. With fingers or using a pick. How many notes per second on a guitar? This is real world, not guitar hero. So I asked a veteran blues man, sitting next to me at the music club. And that’s just for starters. —– PLay it again Sam; though a chore for the door and out on the floor, Halloween decor and more is now roaring in.

How fast can you swing the axe? Ask the axe-man not on stage but sitting next to you. Bar math

I hope these jokes fly well, by the zillions like the Brazilian goal keeper, and a stand-up comedian at night, I met downtown, who gave me her birdie! To keep. not a bogey. THat’s Seriously folks, not over par. But on par. I deed, I deed. Wait, that was Bugs Bunny, I think. But the birdies, and their owners and much more football and its related names, were plentiful during the Loony Tunes full and harvest moon, as just experienced in Hudson, as they were jumping from the rooftops after climbing up!

But seriously, folks … There is a moral to the story, if you read to the very end. Last weekend,

Fall has it all, only starting with football. So this ref’s unofficial call, have a ball with it all, across the width of the valley. Because as you trek east or west, the two teams you’ll encounter are perhaps the gridiron’s biggest rivalry. (Some would take issue with me.) Prepped nationally well in advance. ESPN just for starters. In the long haul, the Vikes smacked the Pack, whose attack is not yet back, as word play scores better. And to paraphrase Motorhead, ‘don’t forget about Alary’s.’

The autumn season, just started officially, is now far enough along to bring the pro football season to an (extra)

Had enough of the 9/11 hubbub? Making holy those who fell, quite literally, in the horror? (Not to disparage anyone’s loss.) Want some music instead? Tom Morello is offering a star-studded ‘day of peace, love, justice and music,’ in early October. Guess an Ozzy show wasn’t enough. And now there’s yet another side project …

Listen to your rock stars, not your politicians. And not those at wholesome or not, rally-around-the-flag hometown fests. Or seen

‘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

Give props to the several bands for climbing partway up deer-stand-style lofts, then taking to all but the lute. (We saw virtually every other style of smaller instrument at a Music in the Trees fundraiser for a nature preserve.) Yes, they dropped a couple of drumsticks to the forest floor, but perservered as a fan fave. Then a band from The Andes stole the show. (See elsewhere on these pages, other musical dancings with the dead. And on this post, a footnote about the many feet on the floor in downtowns, bringing business that is newly lively.)

Music in the trees? It conjures up images of a poet wearing millenniums-ago robe and sandals while playing a lute
