Walter, whose Cutting Room club hosted a series of top-notch music acts like Sheryl Crow, Stills and Nash, Paolo Nutini and Keane, notes, “I am booking bands that will evoke the original festival energy and bring it back home to Woodstock.” Blelock adds, “The town has long been at the epi-center of music festivals—from those on the Maverick beginning in the 1900s, to the Sound-Outs in the 1960s, and the mega-concert of 1969. Simply due to space constraints, some of these failed to happen in the town of Woodstock itse...

Micky Dolenz and Steve Walter After 100 days on the air with his own radio show, MICKY IN THE MORNING; a triumphant MICKY DOLENZ returned last night (Sunday) to the New York-airwaves on WCBS FM ... for his 101th show!. If you recall, CBS abruptly changed their format, to the then-reigning radio trend JACK, and abruptly let their entire air staff go, including Dolenz. Funny thing was, Dolenz and his air staff, had just concluded a live show at BB KING's in NY, celebrating their 100th show. Dolenz pr-man DAVID (PASHA) SALIDOR remembers it well: "It was a very early morning that day, as the show was on from 6AM-10AM ... but, it was a fantastic event with several celebs stopping by and announcing their congratulations, as well as Micky's performing band. At one point, I was standing by the entrance and I saw the then-head of CBS FM, Chad Brown, walking in, talking on his Blackberry, with a look on his face, that I honestly couldn't explain ... and, sort of concerned me. ...

Among those lost deep in fantasy last night, were: ROBIN BYRD; IVY SUPERSONIC; Playbill-photographer AUBREY REUBEN; MA...

Gary US Bonds and Steve Walter MAZARIN-THE SLAVES TO ROCK AND ROLL On another trip to the Cutting Room, I caught up with my old friends "MAZARIN", the original Slaves To Rock And Roll. Having watched them play since I was 17 at the old Wooden Ships Inn on Long Island, it was great to hear the old songs and to see my friends perform the songs that made them famous. Another surprise was Gary "US" Bonds who jumped up on stage and performed with them to a standing room only crowd. In case you are wondering how I was in a club at 17, then you are too young to know the drinking age used to be 18, and drivers licenses had no pictures and if you fit the description, you were in.
