Have you ever had a call? Have you ever wished for summertime And dreaded the likes of fall? Have you ever wanted just to sing The lyrics of a song; Of one to fill your heart with warmth As others sing along? Have you ever wandered off the path To follow what was wrong; Then jumped right back and took the path You knew where you belonged? Have you ever had the moxie To speak your mind at length; Then stepped back when you realized You really have such strength? Have you ever seen a picture Of relatives of long ago, And wondered had you met them Would they seem like those you know? Have you ever had a challenge To take you to the brink; To make you try your hardest With little time to think? QUESTIONS IN LIFE BY Camille Crandall You met the challenge with a force You didn t know you had; The accomplishment of such a feat Just made you feel so glad. Have you ever met a person You thought was rather strange, But when you got to know him Found there s nothing you would change? Have you ever lost a loved one You held so very dear, And missed with such a passion And always wished was here? Have you ever waited for someone With fear he wouldn t show? Then in he walked and you could feel Your heart was all aglow. No matter how you view it; No matter how you tell; No matter what you make of it, These questions ring a bell. They make you stop and think today Of life s ongoing quest To figure out what happens When we put ourselves to test.

7 ---Dave Flight and Wendy Corbine It s no big secret that we live in a Cover Band land but it s nice to know that one band is doing something totally different. The Wizards, a Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band founded by Matt French and Mike Borey, has quickly become a local holiday favorite in the North Country. This is their second year of performing locally and by the looks of it they will be around for many years to come. Their shows sell out almost instantly and their fan base is growing rapidly. FCEM: What s the name of your band? What s the origin of that name? Mike Borey: The Wizards (the name of the band) came from a Trans-Siberian Orchestra song entitled Wizards In Winter. We wanted to start up the tribute band with a name that people would recognize and associate with TSO and the Holiday season. The band was originally called The Wizards In Winter but we decided to change it to The Wizards because that s the name we always threw out in slang at practices. Matt French: Also when we shortened it, we joked about if we dropped the word Winter out of the name then maybe we d have decent weather for our shows. We were hit with a huge snow storm during our debut in Chateaugay and then an ice storm when we went to Malone. The ice storm caused us to have to postpone the Malone show to 2 weeks later. FCEM: Please list the name and respective instrument of each band member. Members: Narrator: Donald Strachan / Guitar: Matt French, Mike Borey, Alixx Beitz / Bass: Steve Jacob / Keyboards: Zoe Anne Williamson, Alixx Beitz / Cello: Christian Hosmer / Drums: Dave Belile / Bells: Dalton O Brien / Vocals: Male: Matt French, Roger Fournier, Trevor Curtis; Female: Tammy Mitchell, Joline Shoen, Nicole Lamberton, Chelsea Donais, Kimmy McGinnis, Rebecca Wood / Light Engineers: Trevor Curtis, Tim Wilson, Mike Borey, Eric O Brien / Stage Manager: Michele French / Stage Hands: Eric O Brien, Allyson O Brien, Stephanie Gebo, Brandon Wheeler, Trevor Curtis / Sound Reinforcement: Hughes Audio FCEM: What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are your major influences? Matt: We go through everything from hard rock to gospel to classical like Mozart and Beethoven. It s a very unique mix but all seems to fit effortlessly. FCEM: How long have you all known each other? How did you meet? Matt: It s been really interesting how things have come together. There were some (such as Roger) that I ve known since childhood. I have gotten to know a few of the others through various bands. Then there are some that just came across our radar and wanted to try out. Mike: Some of us just met a couple of months ago, some are family, and others have played in bands together over the years. FCEM: When did you form your band? What inspired you to make music together? Out Of The Blue!! Mike: Matt French approached me about the idea in November of At the time, it sounded more like a dream of Matt s but the thought really intrigued me. There s only a few original members left today and some actually joined only a few months ago. The inspiration of the band is to bring together our family, friends, and fans each Holiday season and hopefully start a new tradition for years to come. All of our proceeds are donated to various groups, mostly the music departments at the schools we play, hopefully to supplement any budget cuts they suffer, seeing how music and arts always seem to be the first on the chopping block. Matt: It was something I had rolling around in my head for a few years. Always saying, I wonder if, or what would it be like to, or what not. My wife finally told me, Just ask some people. You know a lot of musicians. Just see what people say. So I believe Mike was one of the first people I contacted. He (as a lot of the members) weren t all too familiar with TSO before this. I gave him a CD and had him listen to it. He was very excited the next time I talked to him. Then it just went like wildfire. There were people that said they would join, then dropped out for whatever reasons. But all in all I believe the people that wound up being on stage were the ones that were meant to be there. And even though some of them aren t with us this year, they are a very important part to what we ve done and what we do. It s been quite a ride, that s for sure. FCEM: Any thoughts about doing a recording? Matt: We ve been approached by Shark Bite Records. Who are a label specifically for tribute and cover material. We just have been so wrapped up in getting the live show ready that we haven t been able to iron out any details. That may be part of our 2015 The Wizards Photo courtesy of Forevermore Studios to do list. FCEM: Where have you performed? Do you have any upcoming shows? Mike: Last year was our maiden year and we were fortunate to play at the Chateaugay Town Hall Theater and Franklin Academy High School. We sold out both shows immediately! This year we are playing four shows. Chateaugay Town Hall Theater is hosting us 2 nights this year! December 5 & 6! The next show will be at St. Lawrence Central High School on December 13 and the final show this season will be at Massena Central High School on December 20! FCEM: Which songs do you perform most frequently? Matt: We take every aspect of our show directly from a TSO show. I ve been fortunate enough to see them 9 times so far and have actually struck up some friendships with some of the members. Right down to us presenting the check, the set list itself (at least the story-line portion of the show), the intermission, announcements, and the meet and greet after the show are all directly related to a TSO show. We want to give the people as close to that experience as we can. Mike: We play a great selection of TSO tunes including Mephistopheles Returns, O Come All Ye Faithful / O Holy Night, Ornament, Christmas Cannon Rock, Wizards In Winter, and of course, Christmas Eve Sarajevo (Carol Of The Bells). Matt: These are all TSO songs. Some of which TSO has never done live, but they are all their songs. There is a mix of Christmas themed songs and some that are just plainly routed in classical. We try to find a little bit of something for everyone to enjoy. FCEM: Could you briefly describe your music-making process? Mike: We don t write the songs but we have been very fortunate in learning the music with so many parts and musicians. We ve been lucky and everyone seems to know what they need to play with very little direction. Matt: As Mike said, we don t write these songs. But there are certain aspects that do make them unique to us. We really just try and feel our way through each selection. It s really about making sure we re going to be able to entertain our fans during the song. FCEM: What are your rehearsals generally like? Matt: It s pretty laid back at the beginning of the year. As the shows draw closer we go more into overdrive mode. We know what is at stake and we don t take that lightly. But we always try to keep things light to not get too stressed out. We are very dedicated and take it seriously. But we all know that we need to be able to trust each other and be comfortable around each other. That s probably more of what rehearsals are for. Just getting us comfortable and able to play off each other before the show time. Mike: At first, we only practice once a month throughout the first half of the year. As the season closes in, we practice weekly. Our rehearsals can sometimes last 5-6 hours. FCEM: How has your music evolved since you first began playing music together? Mike: Our group requires a great deal of commitment. Sometimes things happen in people s lives where they can no longer put the time in and therefor we ve been through quite a few musicians. We are constantly adapting to change and sometimes find ourselves learning songs all over again with different players and even different instruments. Matt: Mike is 100% right. It takes more patience and commitment than any other band I ve been in. As he said there are some times that people just don t have the time to commit. That doesn t make them any less (Continued on page 13) Looking to Advertise? / December 2014 / Fourth Coast Entertainment Magazine 7

12 ---By: John Griffin II Director / Founder at Uini Research After coming out of a Past Life Regression session with a psychic from Albany, New York, it was determined that I had lived multiple lives some that I was not even aware of! On July 5th, 2014 I disclosed to the public via a radio show that I was the reincarnation of the returned prophet, Elijah. The news I was looking to present was not pleasant. I knew from the start that I would receive much criticism. I have already heard some people say, You contradict the Bible based on how I arrived. To a degree, yes I do. Now I know what you are thinking, Well then why should we listen to you? In order to understand why you should listen to me you must first know about who Elijah was and what he stood for. After researching Elijah further after being hypnotized, there became no doubt that I retained the same character traits that the original Elijah possessed. Elijah was the leader of the prophets and was sent on many challenging missions. His missions that he was sent on was to challenge the general public and rulers of kingdoms in their beliefs and morals. Naturally, Elijah s received much criticism as a result as many people would not believe him. In fact, history states that he fled to the forest and hid there. Elijah wanted to die, but God would not let him. Elijah was said to appear on the cloud when he returns in the end times. Many will think on the clouds means that Elijah will be Elijah s Final Warning (Part 2): standing on clouds descending from Heaven. I am afraid that the return is not a magnificent as that. Do you know what the internet is also known as? The Cloud. So if I announced myself via an internet radio show where did I show up again? That s right on the cloud! Elijah was also always focused on correcting the incorrect. So what are my character traits you ask? Does my history compare to his? Yes! Actually quite closely! Since I was a kid I was considered an unusual person. I had no friends, sat at the lunch table by myself, was chased out of the lunch room by many kids, laughed at for my beliefs, stayed in my home and even hid in the locker room at lunch time at school, because of the extreme hate towards me. Many people, including teachers, would become angry at my beliefs. I went to Christian schools all my life and my own personal beliefs contradicted their Bible. I say their because, you guessed it none of the Bibles are 100% accurate! There are contradictions in every single one of them. Between mistranslations, other human publishing errors and Satan s deceptive work with making the most evil of men alter the Word of God (Even though God specifically commanded NOT to alter His word) the Bible is filled with misinformation, leading many to believe in things that are not necessarily true and will ultimately lead people to the path of not recognizing the true Messiah. Once again here I am on this planet attempting to correct the incorrect, but so few listen and so few will even pass the word on just as they did in my past lives. Most will not believe me until it is too late. There have been times that I have simply asked God to just bring the new kingdom so that we can live with everlasting love and peace. The answer for now is, no! My work is not done! During my hypnosis, I said a few key words when I was fast forwarded from In my last article I mentioned that I said, I failed! What did I fail at you ask? Getting the message to as many people as possible and changing the perception of man. Man will continue to become more violent, especially in the very near future! On July 5th, 2014 I briefly talked about some of the visions I saw. Some so terrifying that I am too frightened to even think about them, but I know I was sent here for this purpose to let you ALL know about the end and may be change some lives for the better during the hard times ahead. Throughout this series of articles I will continue to connect the dots to help show that I am who I say I am, who else I was and the significance of each role as well as revealing visions that I had seen. I promised you all that I would reveal some visions in this article. Here are just a few them. On July 5th, 2014 I revealed that we would see hints of Martial Law in different forms in the USA in 2014 beginning in the VERY near future after the visions were announced. In August of 2014, the riots in Ferguson began. The riots have since continued to this day. October 9th, 2014 the National Guard along with Police began planning on how to deal with the violence and many rules were put into place including curfews. By definition what has occurred here is Martial Law. Now I did say many forms. President Obama, as well as many other government officials, had either signed or supposedly signed orders for what many have called in the general public as Medical Martial Law due to the recent Ebola epidemic. Many people have been placed in quarantine against their will. Is anyone starting to see what is happening here?! November 8th, 2014 I did a lecture in Canton, New York about the End of the World. For those who waited until the end of the lecture, more visions were unveiled in detail. I mentioned that this winter will be horrendous and when the true winter weather arrives it will be very unusual and terrible. So did this come true you asked? Yes at least it is beginning to manifest! Between November 18th 21st, 2014 areas in New York alone received 5-6 FEET of snow and about another 2-3 feet is expected to be added to that. Several people have already died due to this storm. But wait we can t forget the rest of the USA! Several artic vortexes have blanketed the USA with low temperatures and several winter thunderstorms that even produced tornadoes! We still have several months to go and if you think last winter was bad, you haven t seen anything yet!

13 Elijah s Final Warning (Part 2): (Continued from page 16) FEATURED Several more visions came in that have not fully happened yet, but I am letting everyone know to watch for the signs! Firstly, based off the visions we are approximately half way through the Tribulation Period from Revelations. The second half is going to be FAR worse! In 2015 expect far more violence and Martial Law to be implemented in many scattered areas not just limited to the USA! There will be a lot of volcanic eruptions and many more volcanoes will awaken from their slumber soon! Most importantly, a group of fighters will begin to rise. They appear to be on your side, but they have a different agenda. They are very self-absorbed and are based somewhere in the USA. If I receive a vision about an exact location 12)Out (Continued from page of a musician, but we realized early on that to make something like this work, we need 150% from everyone. It can t just be on one or two people s shoulders. But with that we ve pushed each other to our musical limits. I believe whether you are in the band still or have had to bow out, this group has made us better players. It definitely brought us all out of our comfort zone. We got a chance to play music that not many of us ever would. There aren t too many of us before this that would have ever dreamed of playing Beethoven or Mozart on the electric guitar. But here we are, doing just that type of thing. FCEM: What has been your biggest challenge as a band? Mike: The biggest challenge has definitely been keeping a core group of musicians. It s hard to keep a band together with 4 or 5 people, let alone a group our size. We get knocked down, but always seem to pick things back up with minimal effort. Matt: I agree with Mike. It s not an easy task to keep almost 30 people all on the same page. But as we call ourselves family, we realize that sometimes, families argue. Sometimes they fight. But they also go head to head together against anyone that may stand in their way. They laugh, they cry, they yell, they cheer. We ve gone through just about every emotion that science has labeled. And in the end we re still here. But I m not going to lie and say that it s been an easy ride. It hasn t. But has it been one that I find worth it ABSOLUTELY. FCEM: What s your ultimate direction for your band? Matt: Bring the people a show that they didn t think possible in this area. Make them believe in the magic of Christmas. I always wanted people in our audience to have the same adrenaline rush that I get watching TSO. We want our fans to go home with that sense of excitement that lasts months after the show lights have dimmed. Mike: We would love to make this a Holiday tradition for the North Country. FCEM: What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands? Mike: Don t rush into things just to get going. Take the time to find the right people or a more general location I will let everyone know. Keep watch as they will be both political and violent at the same time! Paranormal activity, specifically of a demonic nature, will continue to increase and the sightings of UFO s will increase greatly! During my hypnosis I was brought forward to the years The year 2018 frightened the psychic so much she fast-forwarded me to the future to the year After seeing several visions during my Past Life Regression session, I began seeing even more visions that are even more terrifying that are for the coming years! I have started to connect the dots even more which answers so many questions about me that it is hard to comprehend! Stay tuned as I release two more articles exclusively here in the Fourth Coast Magazine! Of The Blue!! with common goals and influences. Make sure everyone else shares your passion and is willing to work just as hard as you to reach your goals. Matt: Don t listen to how people say it can t be done. Reach for your dreams and go as far as you see fit not what others see fit. FCEM: How can fans-to-be gain access to your music? Mike: We are on Facebook and are working on a website. com FCEM: Is there anyone you d like to acknowledge for offering financial or emotional support? Mike: Tarbell Management Group really helped us out this year. Without them, we wouldn t be playing our shows. St. Lawrence County Arts Council provided us with space to conduct our board meetings throughout the year. North Country Network made all of our ads and maintains the Facebook page. Forevermore Studios donated a promotional video and photo shoot for all of The Wizards. H3Designs was able to take our logo design from a sketch pad to a digital image. Bob at Hughes Audio has already gone above and beyond to accommodate us and the shows haven t even started yet! Thank you! Matt: All that Mike brought up and our fans. This band belongs to them. When we stop exceeding our fans expectations, we re not doing our job. The comments we read from our fans after our shows last year had even the toughest of us in tears of joy. They are what made us who we are. And for that I m eternally grateful. FCEM: What is your next move? Where do you go from here? Mike: Our next move? Shock and awe the North Country!...and then take a much needed break for about a month until we start it all over again! Matt: To keep getting more over the top and keep our fans guessing about what is coming next. FCEM: Any last words? Matt: Get ready northern New York. The Wizards are coming this holiday season. Get ready for a show that will stay with you. Thank you for all your support and we will make sure that we don t let you down. CD Aberdeen It was the fall of The evening s act had just finished playing and the patrons were shuffling out of the door at the Northwoods Inn in Lake Placid, NY, and I was busy saying goodbyes and picking up empty beer bottles off the tables. A couple of young musicians, fresh from a gig in the area, walked in. The trumpet player had been my son s basketball team mate, and he walked up to me with a grin. I want you to meet Phil Henry. He s a great songwriter. I looked over at the tall fellow with a guitar case, who was grinning from ear to ear. He asked me if he could play me a few songs. He opened his case, and removed his guitar, and threw his strap over his shoulder in a smooth, experienced manner, and began to strum -- hard and fast. The remaining patrons crowded around us, delighted. He was obviously a pro. His songs were bouncy and had a hook. His voice reminded me of James Taylor, only with more range. He left me with a CD and a strong impression. I looked him up on the internet, and found he d recently been awarded accolades as an emerging artist. His songs fascinated me. His lyrics seemed a strange mix of simple and complex at the same time. His rhythms brought to mind some of Paul Simon s work. I ve run into Phil a few times over the past years, performing at local music happenings, and have kept up with his recordings. Robots and Romance, his 2011 release, quickly became a favorite CD. A couple of years ago when we were playing at the Kate Mt. Music Festival, I heard him deliver the best version of Stephen Foster s Hard Times that I d ever heard. I asked him to play it again this past year, and to my delight, I again enjoyed it every bit as much. With much anticipation, I awaited the arrival of Aberdeen, Phil Henry s latest project. The first thing that struck me about Aberdeen is the CD s cover. It s just Phil s name and a paisley-covered guitar imposed over a corduroy background. There something old and familiar about it. Henry was born in Saranac Lake, NY, and is now living in Rutland, VT. On Aberdeen, he is to folk music what another Rutland resident of years gone by, Norman Rockwell, was to art. Henry serves us a familiar slice of Americana Pie. The entire album is a collection of insights into everyday life with its hopes and sometimes faded dreams. There are a number of Aberdeens in the US, and I asked Phil which one he had in mind. Could be any of them, was his first response. The album kicks off with the bouncy Saint Anthony s Mission Store, a tip-of-the-hat to second hand store, Henry then takes us to a seat at the local barber in Old Joe s Chair. You feel like you re on a musical walk around town. Asleep at the Wheel is a late night ride up Interstate 91, coming home from a gig. The artist doesn t just paint (Continued on page 18) December Events At DeKalb Amvets Every Wednesday- Ladies Auxiliary lunch and dinner special from noon til seven.

14 GAME CONNOISSEUR Minecraft: A Building Block for the Future ---Dr. Anthony Betrus The Game Connoisseur Minecraft is on a fast-track to being the single best selling video game of all time. With 54 million sold and counting, it trails only behind Tetris, Wii Sports, and the Oregon Trail, a staggering fact given that it has only been around since Much like the Oregon Trail, which was the common shared educational game experience for my generation, part of its success is that Minecraft doubles as both an entertainment and educational game. Also contributing to its success is that it is available on virtually every major platform, including Windows, Macintosh, ios, Android, and almost every console system (with the notable exception of Nintendo). Given its popularity, it should not have come as a major surprise that on November 6, 2014 Microsoft completed a deal to purchase Minecraft maker Mojang for 2.5 billion (with a b). One can assume that this will only further its development. I have been aware of the game for quite some time, and have watched it being played, watched some YouTube videos, and even picked up the demo at one point, although it never really stuck. I just returned from an international Educational Technology conference, and Minecraft was a top trending topic. There is growing community of educators using Minecraft in the classroom, with relevant lessons and educational materials freely available at minecraftedu.com. For my part, I am by no means an early adopter of the game, but the testimonials I heard were very compelling. So when I returned home I decided that I would pick up the game again and give it another shot, this time with my two daughters. I had not yet run the demo on my home computer, so I visited the website and downloaded the demo, which installed in less than 5 minutes. Instead of playing myself, I gave the controls to my youngest daughter and let her have at it. After some acclimation to the basic w,a,s,d keyboard & mouse interface, she immediately started in building. We exhausted the 90 minute demo in the second day, so with her encouragement I chose to plop down the $25 bucks for the game. While it is not free, it does come in at half the price of a typical console game. I could have purchased the ipad version for $6.99, but I chose the Windows version to encourage her to get more experience with a standard computer interface. Her older sister saw what we were doing, and immediately jumped in on the action. We are only three days into the game, and while we have built a subterranean home, a castle, and a winding labyrinth, we have barely scratched the surface. I especially look forward to helping them create basic logic triggers and mechanical devices, which will serve as a building block for their future computer programming skills. And whether or not they become computer programmers, basic programming skills are, to me, a fundamental skill that all school-age children should have. Still, even in this short time, and without getting into these more complicated aspects, I can clearly see the benefits of a game that has been described by some as an incognito introduction to computer-aided design (CAD), of course with heavy doses of imagination and creativity. At this point I can say that I strongly recommend Minecraft, both for entertainment and for educational reasons. I debated putting together a holiday buying guide, but my advice to you is that if you buy one game for your children this holiday season, make it Minecraft. And if they already have it and play it, engage them and play it with them. And if you already are doing that, visit minecraftedu.com and check out some of the educational resources, they are not just for teachers. And like LEGOs, which was declared by Time Magazine in October of this year to be the most influential toy of all time, Minecraft is on track to be the most influential video game of all time.

I think I get from Sweet Time the entrance of an adopted child into a family and the effects of it. Then comes Hard Times, an old Stephen Foster classic. It fits in with the collection of songs wonderfully, and as he does in live performances, Henry delivers this top notch fashion. His voice is powerful. The harmonies are delightful, and the music arraignment just perfect, to my ears. I find myself listening to it and singing along several times every morning on my way to work. This cut alone is worth the price of the CD, but there s much more to come. We get the first mention of Aberdeen in Blue Sky Blues, the pleading of a young man during a 40 day drought. He s counting on a good crop on the family farm to help him escape his home down and get to college. He knows his part time pharmacy job won t cut it, and he feels he has so much to give if he can only escape Aberdeen. Like his longtime hero, Martin Sexton, Phil Henry writes songs that utilize his great vocal range, and it s noticeable on Blue Sky Blues. Henry interjects changes that most singers would have a hard time following. Unlike Sexton, Henry uses this talent sparingly, only when it s needed, and it coincides with the lyrical content of the song. Hometown is a backhanded compliment to Henry s roots in Saranac Lake. He portrays mixed feelings and equates it with a romance. It can be as beautiful and exciting as the late afternoon sun dancing a summer lake. It can cut and demean like those high school big shots. It can be a reminder of everything in yourself that you re trying to out run or outgrow. As presented by the Phil Henry Acoustic Trio, They Might Be Giant s Birdhouse in Your Soul is a cute, not for kids only, fun song. In Ruthie s General Store, Henry tells a tale of couple watching their store burn to the ground, through the husband s eyes. There s love, warmth, and wonderment. The old man is proud of his wife s accomplishments, but seems happy enough to be done with it. Despite being sung without a trace of Southern twang in his voice, In Between sounds like Aberdeen a potential hit country song. It s got a country tempo, ironic lyrics and metaphors, and some nice mandolin and slide guitar work to accompany a catchy melody. Kay, the next cut, has a precious understated pedal steel line running through it, provided by Kevin Maul. Henry finds himself in a rut in Rutland, waiting for a Greyhound bus at the depot. He pays tribute to the town s marble mining history, as he listens for the growl of the diesel engines coming and going, hoping his ride will take him to better days. Emma s Bicycle is a bit of a tear jerker. A little girl, feeling free in the early spring, finds her escape from Aberdeen is the back of a long black hearse. I didn t see that one coming and I had to listen to the song several times to be sure of what I was hearing. Henry sails off in Columbus, an unusual song because it makes reference to the lyrics of some of the previous songs. Aberdeen is in the wake, and the future could be anything. Kind of like this album. Henry has taken us for a fascinating tour of Aberdeen, shown us the sights, and walked with us down the old worn paths, and he s done it well, but now he s on to the next stop in life. He can do what he wants. I think I ll hang around Aberdeen for a little while still. I m not quite ready to leave. This is a masterfully well-written, sung, and produced CD. The core of the music comes from the Phil Henry Acoustic Trio, featuring Jeff Kimball on vocals, mandolin, accordion, and piano. Gary Moon is on vocals and percussion. Henry plays guitar, mandolin, ukulele, and various and sundry other sound makers. A chorus of other players and singers help out in the venture, but it never gets too heavy or overcrowded. All songs are by Phil Henry except Old Joe s Chair, cowritten with Aaron Nathans, Birdhouse In Your Soul, by John Flansburgh & John Linnell, and of course Hard Times, by Stephen Foster. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Aberdeen. You might want to grab a few more for friends. It s that good. I m sure this CD will start showing up in stores around the North East in fairly short order, but you can purchase it through Phil s website Contact Us fourthcoast@twcny.rr.com 18 Tickets: $11 reserved $7 gen. admission $5 student/child Box Office: Fourth Coast Entertainment Magazine / December 2014 Lin, Faron, Carter and Buster play classic country hits from the 50 s to the 90 s and beyond, as well as classic hits from other musical genres.
