Port Chester native publishes guitar art book

Art of the StompBox

Art of the Stomp Box is a premium hardcover coffee-table book by Chris Cassone, a Port Chester native, lifelong guitarist, photographer, author, and former recording engineer. The book presents guitar effects pedals not just as music gear, but as collectible visual art: hand-painted boxes, psychedelic illustration, typography, industrial design, folk imagery, science fiction, pop surrealism, and boutique maker culture. Featuring more than 300 full-color photographs from 60 pedal designers across 18 countries, Art of the Stomp Box gives these small, colorful objects the museum-wall treatment they deserve. The book includes a foreword by Josh Scott of JHS Pedals and a cover testimonial from the late Ace Frehley of KISS. Cassone grew up on Westchester Avenue, next door to the YMCA, and later built a life in music, writing, photography, and recording. His new book connects those worlds by celebrating the hidden visual art sitting at the feet of guitar players. Art of the Stomp Box is available through Amazon, IngramSpark, select bookstores, and at www.chriscassone.com.

What Is Your Home Really Worth Right Now?

CENTURY 21 Elite Realty

The real estate market is not pricing homes one way right now - it’s being priced three different ways. Some homes are listed below market to create bidding wars and sell far over asking. Some are priced at market value and move depending on timing and demand. Others are overpriced and sit with no activity. That’s why online estimates and list prices alone can be misleading. If you're thinking about selling, the real question isn’t just “what is my home worth?” It’s: what is the right pricing strategy to maximize your outcome? Get a real evaluation based on current market behavior - not just an algorithm. 📍 Serving Westchester, Rockland &amp; Bergen County
