Buick Rendezvous Front

The front does not outshine the rear. Both ends were designed during what could be called Buick's "Bland Period". In the same way that Picasso's Blue Period is sought after, maybe one day these will be valuable.....

Buick Rendezvous Rear

"Rendezvous" is of course French for "meeting".
This one is in particularly good condition. Other examples have been observed to exhibit galloping rot. This type of aggressive rust can be seen to move if you stare at it for long enough.

Bar King at Hamburg Music Festival, NY

These guys were towards the thrash end of things but "tight" nonetheless.

Hamburg Music Festival Singer

She sounded very good too.
Where was that backstage pass....

Hamburg Music Festival Band

This group were quite traditional with an organ sounding like the Doors while the singer could have done a passing impression of an American Chas and Dave "I ain't got no rabbit" etc.

Big Norm's Dogs, Hamburg, NY

The identity of Big Norm remains a mystery but the dogs are good.


Revellers at Hamburg Music Festival, NY

Beer in the street is a rare pleasure.

Lindsay Burgio at Hamburg Music Festival, NY


All original music, no covers, acoustic guitar and vocals reminiscent of Laura Marling. The Strumin' Along album is worth a listen.
