Frankly Speaking
Found Money
Suddenly, without warning, when you least expect it, that's how fortune strikes, good or bad. So it was on that Indian Summer Day long ago. I was hardly ready.
by Frank Crocitto

The Fat & The Skinny
The Texture of Money
If no one had ever succeeded at merely filling a jar with coins, then what hope was there in anything?
by Brian Mahoney

Poetica
A man once made a million dollars with a pair of scissors and a few sheets of paper. He was a travelling salesman whose disgust with common drinking glasses in public places led him to invent the paper cup.

Planet Waves
New Year's Revolution
Gee, it's 1999 already. This seems like a good time to stop farting around in life.

Eatin' Out
Restaurant Reviews. This month's featured restaurant is Café Pongo in Tivoli.

 

The Temporal Lobes

How-To Heal
Reiki is an ancient art, a system of natural healing that is thousands of years old, we all have the ability to do Reiki; it's programmed into us. It's like you're a wired-up house, and the attunement flips the circuit breaker and so electricity starts flowing through you.

The Editors Choices

La Vita è Bella
Movie review:
Roberto Benigni's "Life is Beautiful" at Upstate Films.

In Vino Veritas:
In wine there is truth.
The Romans certainly quaffed enough of the stuff to know.

Chronogram sponsored NetParty
Meet like-minded friends. Make business contacts.
Eat, drink, dance & party. Maybe fall in love!

Rhett Tyler
When we sent Chronogram's top bon vivant and scenester Todd Paul to review bluesman Rhett Tyler, little did we know that our music editor was going to return transformed by the "King of the 12-string."

Married to Funk
From acoustic to electric, folk to rock to funk,
Point of Departure plays different genres in their debut CD.

Bluegrass and Lullabies
From peaceful melodies that call one to reflection of love, God, and hope - to outright country flavor as the male vocals begin, "Salamander Crossing" can appease even the most tumultuous mind.

Blues Away From Home
Steel town blast furnace brothers, The Kinsey Report, are experienced players with years of crowd-pleasing blues music behind them. They have worked with Bob Marley (one album being Rastaman Vibration) and Peter Tosh and just released their sixth album, Smoke and Steel.

Dances with Werewolves
Carl Welden's performances are hard to describe; they're psychological deconstructions, political incitements, tour de force vocal formations - think Michael Winslow of Police Academy fame on acid.
