Cycling Scenes in NYC

Photos that cheer me up here. Keep a camera in your pocket when you bike the city. Things pop up.

Do you like old New York City photos and stories? Then check out my 1960s memoir, "I Hate the Dallas Cowboys - tales of a scrappy New York boyhood." Available at Logos Book Store and online at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

The book has 110 Amazon five star reviews out of 110 total reviews posted. We're pitching a perfect game. My old world echoes TV's "The Wonder Years" ~ just add taverns, subways and Checker cabs.

You can also purchase my photography portfolio, "River to River - New York Scenes From a Bicycle" on Amazon.

Sunday Morning, 33rd Street

Early Sunday morning, I enjoy biking through a neighborhood where during the work week it's so crowded you are lucky to be able to walk your bike on the sidewalk much less ride it in the street. The different sense of place is stark. Sometimes peaceful, occasionaly eerie.

Here are a few photographs near 33rd Street at Madison Avenue on the sidewalk and looking up at the building signs. On top is the Empire State Building in a puddle on thirty-third between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

Full Moon Over the East River

Late summer, temperature still in the 80s. An August that won't quit. Watching the river flow under a full moon. Sweet.

...and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I love the author's style of writing. His words flow and you don't want to put the book down. I grew up in Yorkville, so it was fun for me to follow Tommy's escapades and view all his treasured photos.

The J. Geils Band ~ House Party Forever!

Took a slow walk through Central Park last night headed to see the greatest house party rock & roll band on the planet, The J. Geils Band at The Beacon Theatre.

The boys and girls kicked ass. My first J Geils show was 1973. As they did then, last night, they done me good.

God bless,  Peter Wolf,  Seth Justman,  Danny Klein's Full House and the hard drivin' band for your music and the way it makes us feel.

R&R War Horse, Ian Hunter & the Rants opened the show and they took us all the way to Memphis and back. Ian has not lost a step. He and the band ripped it up.

Best opening act since the Kinks supported Eddie Money in Woolman's Rink at a Dr. Pepper concert in Central Park. I kid you not.

more photos here!
