Boston Live In Concert!
August 20, 2008
In 1976, I was a high school sophomore who was allowed to attend my first concert. What a concert it was. 30+ years later I remember that night as if it was last night.
I remember the drive to the arena. I remember walking into the huge abyss of the halll and looking down from the top of the concourse into the dark pavilion that on the previous night I had watched a hockey game. This surely could not be the same place. It even smelled much different. It wasn’t until years later in college that I realized just what that smell was!
Anyway…the lineup that night was amazing. A new up and coming band called 38 Special opened the show and blew us northerners away with a heaping helping of deep fried southern rock. I was hooked forever. Following that night Marshall Tucker, the Outlaws, and of course the Charlie Daniels Band became my heroes. Lest I not forget, Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Next up was a band trying to make it in America with the release of their first album. I had not heard of this band before and most of my friends waiting for the headliner to appear made their way up the long flight of stairs to score us some “refreshments”…that’s greek for BEER! I know I said I was a sophomore but the drinking age was 18 back then and we had a buddy with us who had a fake ID. Read more

One of South Florida’s biggest musical stars, Gloria Estefan, will perform a charity concert at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Oct. 24.
Gloria Estefan’s family fled Cuba for Miami in 1959. She began her singing career in 1975 with the group Miami Sound Machine, and four years later married the group’s keyboardist, Emilio Estefan. After several Spanish-language albums the group began releasing material in English, their breakthrough album coming in 1985 with Primitive Love.
Estefan went solo with even greater success; with Emilio Estefan as her producer and promoter, she became for a time America’s leading Latin recording artist. A true entrepreneur, with the Bongos, the 7 restaurant chain and a few hotels, Estefan has amassed a net worth fortune estimated at over $500 Million dollars.
In a rare appearance, the five time Grammy award winner will hold the concert to benefit school systems in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Free Things To Do In The Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market
July 21, 2008
If you’re looking for something to do with the kids that is both educational and entertaining, try the Museum Of Art located Downtown in Fort Lauderdale. All summer long admission to all of the exhibits is free for kids under 5. Children older than that are still admitted free but they need to have a valid library card.
That should be no big deal as the library card is free as well and if your children don’t have a library card then now you have the makings of a great outing for you and your children. Of course you can apply online but that’s no fun.
Head over to the Fort Lauderdale library on Andrews and then it’s a block or two walk to the Museum of Art. Wow..what a day for the kids. When they visit the library they will be astounded by the size of the library and the volumes of books available for just about any interest your child may have.
With books in tow it’s off to the MOA to see some classic works ranging from:
Unbroken Ties: Dialogues in Cuban Art
Unbroken Ties, as the title suggests, focuses on the survival and perpetuity of Cuban values and the Cuban character beyond the island. The thesis is put forward by way of pointed comparisons and contrasts between works of art created by immigrants and works by nationals. Read more
