Who was here and lived through this??? 28 years ago...

28 years ago today, on a Tuesday morning, Northern New York and parts of Vermont, New Hampshire, Main, as well as Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada, woke up to the beginning of the 1998 Ice Storm with some areas losing power as soon as 5pm. The once-in-a-lifetime event that ultimately caused an estimated $5-7 billion in damage, and by Thursday, January 8, 70,000 locally were without power, with approximately 40,000 in Jefferson County and 30,000 in St. Lawrence.

53 years ago today...

Today in 1973, Aerosmith released their debut album.

Aerosmith’s debut album was a stuttering start rather than one of rock’n’roll’s great opening salvos. Part of the problem was a sluggish mix courtesy of British producer Adrian Barber – and let’s not get into Steven Tyler’s baffling last-minute decision swap his jive-talking rasp for a strangulated, Kermit-sings-the-blues gargle.

But the songs mostly stand up. Mama Kin and Somebody are cocksure enough to paper over any cracks, a cover of Rufus Thomas’ Walkin’ The Dog is textbook early 70s white-boy R&B, and Tyler’s showboating proto-power ballad Dream On has become part of The Great Hard Rock Songbook. Promising, but there was much better to come.
