Not every time, but nearly every time I drive over the Jamestown Verrazzano Bridge and observe the amazing Plum Beach Lighthouse, I wonder…Could a band pull off a kick ass concert right there on the cement and rocks of the lighthouse? In years passed, has a band ever traveled over to the lighthouse and set up amps and a drum set and microphones and played a set for boaters in Narragansett Bay?

We found a great parking spot in front of the Point Tavern on Wickenden St. and started down … Continue reading 8 Reasons You Know You Are In The Right Record Store – An 8Unassisted Life Experience Blog

Happy October Saturday Morning everyone. I wanted to pose a question to the Rhode Island Baseball Community this morning and start a dialogue about a topic I am very curious about. In today’s youth baseball world, can an above average baseball player, who plays only recreation (Little League, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken) baseball make it to and through high school and into a collegiate program, possibly professional baseball organization without the benefit of ever playing AAU, travel, showcase baseball growing up? Wow, that was a long winded question so let’s break it down so we can analyze and discuss it … Continue reading Can An Above Average Youth Rec Baseball Player Make It Up The Baseball Ladder Without Travel Baseball?
