Don’t Blame The Posers!

Posted on September 1, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

I know what some of you are going to think: I partied too hearty listening to The Posers last night.  I did not think I did!  Yes, I had some Chardonnay.  I figured I went to the Legion to hear a band, I should give them a little business, right?  Unfortunately, I had a dreadful headache all day and am taking a Blogger’s Sick Day now.

 

Different summer, different band.

I threw in a picture to make this a Throwback Thursday Post as well as a Blogger’s Sick Day.  Wow.  I almost said Wayback Wednesday.  See how a headache can mess me up?  Anyways, this is the Playin’ Again band, who I enjoyed hearing at Fratello’s Pizzeria in Frankfort a couple of times two summers ago. Regular readers know I usually go to Fratello’s on Wednesday night.  Last night I guess I mixed it up a little.

And here are The Posers again.

I close with a shot of The Posers last February at Ilion Elks Lodge.  Now I will take my headache to bed.  I’m sure I will feel better in the morning.

Murder? Music? It’s a Friday Lame Post!

Posted on August 20, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

How do I not manage to make a Lame Post Friday post on Friday?  It’s a lame post,  how hard could it be?  Oh well, I was having a nice evening, sipping Barefoot Pinot Noir and watching true crime on cable television.  Yes, I am too lame to stream.  So twentieth century of me!

They are bad-ass and compassionate.

Part of the evening was spent looking at my new favorite thing, Reasonable Doubt on ID on DVR (I am at least technologically adept for that).  Actually, it was my new favorite thing some months ago, but I have not had a new favorite thing in a while.  I need some new favorite things in my life.

Speaking of favorite things,  my husband, Steve, and I may be heading to the Mohawk, NY American Legion tonight to hear The Posers, our favorite local band (preview of coming attractions).  I heard too late last night that another good local band, the Playin’ Again Trio, was at Fratello’ Pizzeria in Frankfort.  Then again, we had such a pleasant evening at home, I do not regret it too much.  We missed hearing another favorite,  Phil Arcuri, on Wednesday, because Steven was not feeling well.  And that is my local music plug for the post.

So I guess this is my Lame Post Friday post, made on Saturday morning,  but who’s counting?  Oh, YOU probably are (you know who you are).  As always, thank you for tuning in.

More Fun at Fratello’s

Posted on June 14, 2021 by mohawkvalleygirl

Friday I had another great evening at Fratello’s Pizzeria in Frankfort! Once again it was unplanned. I got back to my house from running errands to find a message from my sister Cheryl on the machine, inviting me to join her, her daughter Kim and Kim’s boyfriend Matt at Fratello’s.

I had already eaten. As a matter of fact, I heated up some chicken Riggies leftover from Wednesday’s visit to Fratello’s. My intention when I got home was to have a beer, because I had the Pride Stride 5K the next day. A long time ago, I heard that a drill sergeant had recommended one beer as a way to carb up before PT (Physical Training) test. Who am I to argue with a drill sergeant?

When I got there Matt immediately jumped up to give me a hug and get me a beer. I did not make a note of what kind of beer it was, but he told me there were notes of banana.

“Oh yeah, I can taste it. Potassium!” Also good for my projected run. They had ordered upside down pizza, which I had never had. Even though I had already eaten, I tried a piece. Then I had another.

A great band started to play. I later learned they were the Playin’ Again Band. We chair danced (actually booth danced). I also danced when I got up to take a picture, when I went to the bathroom, and when I left. Musicians like it when you do that.

Cheryl later found out they are playing again in July. We might just have to go!

Fratello’s Pizzeria is located at 158 E. Main St. in Frankfort, phone number 315-894-8484. They are open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 1 to 9 p.m. Sunday. You can follow them on Facebook to find out about all the great musicians they host. Don’t forget to try the upside down pizza!
