Smoking is for babies - August 3, 2008
I have been battling the 'stop smoking' dealie since December. If you know me, you know how much I loved my smokes. I have tried to quit like a million times. I always cheated..."one puff ain't gonna kill me"..
Well..it's over....fini..
I'm officially declaring myself, NONSMOKER!
One of the proudest moments of my life. I'm so glad I'll be around longer on this Earth to dig my dear family and friends.

Searching for Mugavero... - July 26, 2008
Every now and then when I need to feel important, I google myself. (K, who out there hasn't done that??). Kind of shocking and borderline scary to find so many entries. It's as if the whole world is looking in on your life.
Most disturbing was an Edward Mugavero (not meeeeeeee!!!) who was indicted on some nasty charge in upstate New York in the early 90's. Yikes!! I really hope my old friends aren't seeing that and thinking.."Hmmm..is it??" If you read further, you'll see his wife, Ann was also indicted. And you know me, never been married! Whew.
Then there's all the other Mugaveros. I thought I had a pretty uncommon name, til I found Josh, Jennifer, Haley, etc...Josh Mugavero just doesn't sound Italian to me...lol.
Anyway..welcome to the internet. Be careful what you type or post. Some dude in Taiwan is putting it in his favorites.

Another Chapter - July 13, 2008
Hey, I just found myself the subject of Chapter 22 in Ted McClelland's new book. Ted is a Chicago based writer.
http://www.tedmcclelland.com/books/third-coast/index.html
The book is called, "THE THIRD COAST-Sailors, Strippers, Fisherman, Folksingers, Long-haired Ojibway Painters, and God-Save-the-Queen Tories of the Great Lakes".
Not sure which category I'm in, but I'm on page 255-256. He talks about my "....North" song. Cool huh?

Mugavero in Cooperstown!! - April 4, 2008
Thanks to the tenacity of my friend and colleague Bob Dellaposta, my song, CRAZY 'BOUT BASEBALL, performed by BadaBing BadaBoom, will be included on the latest compilation of baseball songs, and will be on sale at the BASEBALL HALL OF FAME in Cooperstown, NY. We are enshrined!!!
This program is spearheaded by Jeff Campbell, with the mission to inspire underprivileged children (and others) through positive musical and creative experiences.
I always dreamed I'd make it to the Hall as a 2nd baseman, but I'll take 'songwriter'. Very cool!! Congrats to Mo, Bec, Chris, G, Bob & Stephan, Hall Of Famers!
..and Tommy G, the answer is 'no', I was not taking steroids when I wrote it...why, is my head big??

Becca on Youtube - February 25, 2008
Gang..
Go hear and see Rebecca Sayre singing a Sayre/Mugavero/Mechem composition on Youtube...this was a scat melody Bec sent me, and I composed the title and lyrics..."INFATUATION"
Also, Bec is doing her own tune, "NOTHING LIKE THE BLUES"
The wonderful and talented Beegie Adair on piano, and swingin' Charlie Chadwick on upright. (Be sure to turn off the autoplay feature on Bec's page first)

BadaBing BadaBoom 'Live' - February 23, 2008
Just posted several tracks from a live performance at WOLFY'S ON BROADWAY, circa 1997. Those were some wild times...huge, energetic crowds, and we were still in our infancy. Most of these tunes went on to be recorded on one of our 4 CDs, but these performances are the true essence of what we were. I am considering getting this performance digitally mastered, and releasing a live album. Let me know what you think!

Taking time to re-group... - February 17, 2008
In an effort to make my site easier to navigate, I have re-grouped some songs by category. At the top of my music page, you'll now find all of BadaBing BadaBoom, Cathryn Craig and David Spear & The Darts, male country, etc.. in their own categories. I have also included a section of demos, mostly played and sung by yours truly. Hope you enjoy the re-vamp!!

Gems.. - February 12, 2008
My good bud Rebecca Sayre has unearthed 3 BadaBing rehearsal tapes with songs I have long forgotten. By week's end, I'll have them burned and posted to my site. Thanks Bec for having the foresight to hit the 'record' button while we learned these tunes. Most of these never got performed in public. There are probably about 15 I've been missing. Woohoo!
Lana - February 11, 2008
Lana and I are going to get married. I will keep you updated...just don't ask us during a Yankee or Habs game.
