Who's the new guy at the T&G?

I heard McLennan left the Telegram couple months ago? Can anybody tell me who the new guy is?


I don't think your band is very good.

Depends on your definition of new guy.

But I'd start here.
Richard Duckett: Entertainment Reporter, (508) 793-9176, rduc...@telegram.com

Awesome. Thanks, B.

I know the T&G picked up Aaron Nicodemus from the New Bedford Standard Times a few months ago. He's a decent beat reporter. I don't think they'd have him doing concert reviews.

Good luck with Duckett. To be nice about it, he is a bit...particular about what he covers. You are probably not it.

It seems as though they have Nancy Sheehan covering some pop music, but again, good luck. Scott's departure left a real void for what is already paultry music coverage in Worcester.

Whatever happened to that Roy Neilsen (sp?) guy they used to have doing reviews?

He actually emailed me back within about 10 minutes. I've gone back & forth with him a couple times, since yesterday morning. We'll see.

Wow, that's great. Maybe he has changed since Scott left.

if the t & g don't pick up this luxury saga, they're idiots. especially boasting two(?) band members with 508 roots.

Mike, did you get my email yesterday?

And yes, there are still 2 Luxurites from the 508. Steve Borek lives in Grafton, and I live right here in the Woo.

Richard Duckett ran quite a nice little photo/blurb about us today.

If I can't play the garden with you guys, at least I'm still in the picture in the telegram. Geez, you guys need new photos!

Re: Who's the new guy at the T&G?

Actually, that's not even the same one I was looking for. There was something else entirely, that went out with the T&G's "The Weekend Starts Now" email. So I guess he actually wrote TWO things...

We did a photo shoot last Sunday, but I couldn't get my hands on any of them, before the T&G and WoMag went to press. I had to tell Borek "don't worry about it, you can't really see Brooks' face in the picture, anyways." He said his mom couldn't tell that it wasn't actually him.

HA! Yeah the computer blocks it quite a bit. I was just thinking that you should play some of Steve's chicken songs. "Ovens We Have Set On High" would bring the house down!!

nice they did that blurb, but still pretty weak considering what kind of story could have been written.

I think the full-length articles are pretty well locked up, a couple weeks ahead of time. At least that's how it always was, with McLennan. I just needed some quick press, to work the Lucky Dog show. Both Richard & Charlene came through strong, on that front.

As for the other thing, I emailed you through the Looneytunes board. I should've just called you to begin with.
