There is something about dinosaurs that makes people turn their heads and stare. It could be their massive teeth and their scale-covered skin. Or it could be their bubbly personalities and live-and-let-live lifestyle. Dinosaurs always draw a crowd. A gathering of more than a dozen of the prehistoric loafers will be

You can find Tab Benoit’s CDs in the blues section of your local record shop. Not sure why. To me, blues means shuffles and slow blues, which Benoit rarely performs, and akin to country, blues has a very distinct sound. So where would I stock his records? I’d probably give him his

Festival season is upon us, and that means sunshine on your shoulder, cold drink in your hand and people around who are feeling, well, festive!
