I had a great photo all picked out for this week, but the featured band (who will remain nameless) goofed up their calendar and the gig was last weekend, so I had to come up with something else. Then I realized my triplet nephews are turning one year old this week - July 16th - and I know their proud Grandma will love seeing their picture in our local newspaper, so please indulge me.JAKE, LUKE and ZACK, seen here with their big sister Leslie (settle down guys - she lives in New York! But if you know/own a restaurant that needs a pastry chef, she's willing to relocate!) What does this have to do with music? Well Jake's middle name is Ramone - does that count?
