This is the Facebook mirror of How Strange It Is To Be Anything At All. While basically a music blog, I’ll also try to write about other subjects that interest me – autism, NOLA, science, etc. – as I have on occasion in the past. How Strange... concentrates on the vibrant scene here in the Triangle of NC (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill-Carrboro). After seeing probably thousands of live shows, from Public Enemy to the Pixies (OG, not pay-for-the-kids'-college reunions), I’m somewhat amazed that I still LOVE live music, and STILL discover music that sounds “new” to me. - John Guerin

I can't believe I got to see the Beatles at the Cavern!! (The Cave in Chapel Hill 😁)

This was from local all-Beatles act One After 919's show just after Christmas. I also captured "Sgt. Peppers/Help from My Friends" and 'Don't Let Me Down", to be posted later on YouTube, along with photos on my ig. They played 35 (THIRTY FIVE) songs, in chronological order. Amazing set; see them if you like the Beatles... or even if you just like live music! I heard they had another set coming up, but I can't remember where or when at the moment.

One After 919 is a local play on the Beatles' song "One After 909", the local area code here in the Triangle of NC being 919. They're not a "tribute" band in...
