Here’s how Matt explains how he pulls off his show, “Me, Myself and Albinoni”.

“A concert version of my recent album Me, Myself and Albinoni, using a film of myself playing the 2nd part, and performing the 1st part live to the film. Performed at the 2014 IDRS Conference in NYU's Loewe Theater. I built the screen myself, and rear-projected it to simulate a "hologram-like" look to it.
I used a Sony A7s to create the film AND the clip of the concert itself. I play a Monnig AM155 oboe".

Fun, Adventure and the great outdoors! Oh – and some amazing ice fishing!

Just look at the smile – and that huge fish – that Alyssa DeCesare pulled out of the lake yesterday!. With a good foot of ice across most of the northern sections of the lake,  ice fishing season IS ON!

It’s refreshing in today’s world  -- where our lives revolve around screens -- there are folks of all shapes and sizes, kids young and old, and families who can actually get off the couch and get outside. Ice fishing in Schroon is just another of the many reasons why our little part of the Adirondack Paradise is so special.

PHOTO  PAT THORNE:  Thought you and the folks might enjoy this photo of one of the sixteen squirrels who visit our yard during the winter. I have had fun photographing them trying to get the best picture. My first photo subject turned out to be our one ear squirrel.  This fellow is much more handsome. Enjoy!  Pat.
