Release of &nbsp;Cranberry Lake Historical Evolution?
A three-part publication documenting nearly two centuries of Cranberry Lake history through research, historic photographs, maps, and records. It explains how the lake developed and how its footbridges fit into that history. It spans the mining, Morris Canal, railroad, resort, and summer colony eras. Each changed the landscape while building upon what earlier generations left behind. Traces of those connections remain visible today.
Cranberry Lake Historical Evolution—Publications I, II, and III explores how these chapters came together to shape the lake and its historic footbridges.

Pete Correale is the funniest guy at the party who somehow snuck onto the country’s biggest comedy stages. For three decades, Correale has built a powerhouse stand-up career by doing something deceptively simple: pulling up a chair, treating the microphone like a backyard fence and speaking truth about the beautifully chaotic mess of everyday life. With his trademark conversational delivery and a disarming "regular guy" attitude, Correale doesn't just perform for his fans—he talks with them about the shared, hilarious absurdities of marriage, parenthood, owning a dog and trying to survive it all with your sanity intact.

GCS brings together three of the most electrifying musicians in modern music: two time Grammy nominated guitarist and vocalist Eric Gales, Modern Drummer Hall of Fame drummer Dennis Chambers and five time Best Rock Bass Player Billy Sheehan. Each of these musicians has spent decades performing at the highest levels of blues, rock, funk, jazz fusion, soul and progressive music.

category. It will draw from the full range of their musical lives, moving from
heavy blues and hard rock to deep funk, soul and jazz fusion, with room for
fearless improvisation and the kind of live interplay that only players of this
caliber can deliver. Three legends, three unmistakable musical forces, one
stage.

In 2008, Norah Jones, Sasha Dobson, and Catherine Popper formed Puss N Boots. Initially it was a vehicle for Jones and Dobson to play music together and try new things, with Popper joining on bass shortly after. The trio played various New York clubs, with a repertoire anchored in Americana, country, folk, pop and rock. The band became an outlet for Jones, Dobson and Popper to switch instruments, and allowed them to showcase a different side of themselves than in their various solo and side projects.
 In 2013 they signed with Blue Note Records and set out to assemble their debut record, “No Fools, No Fun”, comprised of originals and covers, studio recordings and live performances. Their latest album is “Sister”.
