Shake, shake, skake. Shake with Davey, even though he’s (mostly) behind the booth. Yes, both of you can strut. But I bet your hat doesn’t grab as much attention as that on this karaoke deejay, especially when he’s out in the crowd. So Shakin’ Dave does his take on Buffett, Jimmy not Warren, and you too can do your outrageous take on songs. Host venue Bobcat’s doesn’t mind.

Are you all-in with going all-out with all the laws, that vary greatly by two states separated by a river and not one flowing with CBD seltzer? They do, from a consumer standpoint, make it tough to know what you can buy and where and when, concerning THC and CBD, and Delta 8 and 9, and kratom. What’s legit in one place may not be in another just a Stone’s throw away, and vise versa. Too legit, its been for a bit. Tit for tat, as market conditions connect all the products.

In case you need a reminder, Saturday is 4-20 and all it brings. So if hightailing it for Hudson, hit up The Hideaway for boatloads of discounted stuff like 50 percent off select glassware to get the best vibe possible for a great day, as it and the next day are days off, so enjoy! And if elsewhere in the metro and a bit abound, they have a full dozen stores around, so it’s not exactly like they’re hiding away.

Toby’s tales were told via tune by a not-so-tiny Tim, and would he do the same for Bruce Willis, as he also tributes another Bruce as in Springsteen, with Phil Collins on drums? They are (soon) gone, but not by smothering, that would be Tommy’s tome, but wait he’s now still there! Filling orders was again the order of the day, and filling you in on how there’s a kinda local connection to certain deaths gives you some sense of order, oh celeb watcher. (And catch more of the story, now added on the end.)

It did its part, the total eclipse at the start. But the sky had fallen short, as early as afternoon, when we were at our cloudiest at its earliest here, said the weather woman on TV. So it was on her lips, not the eye of the sun but those clouds that eclipsed the eclipse, rather then having the blockage of the sun cause it. No “blackout” here.

Yes Virginia, there was a time before A.D. Although the life of Christ has held a sway for many hundreds of years of our lives, like perhaps no other as far as its overall impact, culture and heritage did flow before then. So following Easter, the first one since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, let us reflect and insert more of a sense of global and importantly historical perspective. Looking to music and dance, classical and otherwise.

What, you have Tourette Syndrome or some other severe ill, and you end up spending a night in jail? And need your meds? “Not in our town …” What you need to know behind the recent county public safefy referendum, and why it’s a long-needed step in the right direction, but I do applaud it … If for no other reason, liability looms. But here’s cheers to building on what’s already there, and making a positive new start. (And for some humor on the day, or night, that could have gotten you in such a state, see Notes From The Beat.)

The tale is fishy, even if viewed through a fish-eye lens. (As is the three-part holiday set in the Notes From The Beat.) On Good Friday, I was back to going Lutheran, which is what I grew up as, since no fish was to be found. Taco Tuesday, typically, is on the other side of the week. But hey, on this day even the ailing pope skipped his usual walk through the park of the dozen holy stations, or to a distant dining room. So there’s hope for the rest of us?
