“Night of Jazz” hosted byCurtis Corner Middle School
This Monday, March 30th, four local middle schools, including Wickford Middle School, will be participating in a “Night of Jazz” at the Curtis Corner Middle School. I am really looking forward to hearing the performers, especially my son who will be performing under the instruction of Michael Iadevaia for Wickford Middle School.

Three chords and you’re into jazz.” Wickford Middle School recognizes the unique developmental characteristics of the middle … Continue reading “Night of Jazz” hosted byCurtis Corner Middle School
Sears Hometown Store – Big Time Inventory, Big Time Customer Service
I admit I do a lot of shopping online. The convenience of e-commerce is incredible. You can buy just about anything online, have price comparisons, and have the item shipped right to your home or business.

Powell Custom Drums – Passionately Designed by Drummers for Drummers
In the busy world of manufacturing, you can take one of several different paths to success. One is to mass produce an item – find cheap materials, cheap labor to keep costs low; thereby keeping the retail price low and hope that you sell a ton of products to make it all worth while. Another way is much harder to do, typically takes longer to achieve success, and can be more frustrating for not only you, your co-workers, but also your family. But, in the true spirit of craftsmanship, personalization, creating something so important to you as an artist, you … Continue reading Powell Custom Drums – Passionately Designed by Drummers for Drummers

Spring is Here and Wickford Little League Baseball is Near
Spring is a mere 8 hours away and I can’t help but think of baseball. I have been involved with baseball my entire life as a player, coach, and fan.
