Band: The Rebel Riders

2 Comments

Last night Allison and I went to The Chieftain in North Attleboro to see my cousin Matt perform with his band, The Rebel Riders. Matt plays the drums and he is really good, he’s been playing them for years and has been part of many bands over the years. It looked like he was having a great time playing last night. The band is a Country/Blues/soul band and they play many contemporary country songs as well as classic ones.

The Rebel Riders have a myspace page where you can hear their songs and interact with the band. Here is a how the band describes their music.

Tom Pile and Matt Slobogan team up with the areas best Country Musicians to bring you The Very Best In Classic Country Music! The Idea Is to play Traditional Country Music and keep those Original & Organic sounds that make this style of music Unique. The Ingredients are: Convincing and Sincere Vocals, the Pedal Steel or Lap Steel, the Upright Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Kickin’ Pickin’ Leads and the Swingin’ Rhythms on a Modest Drum Kit…You want a good time? Put on that Belt Buckle and Cowboy Hat and come out and join us.

And of course I took many photos during the show. But only two came out to my liking. And it felt like a Sepia tone evening so I used that filter on the camera.

Protect your data files…

As you know I take many photos on a daily basis. I recently purchased an external hard drive to back up my data files. But then I began to think, what if my home catches fire, since my computer and external hard drive are connected to each other in the same room I would lose all of my files, that would be tragic. I have years worth of photographic memories that could be all gone in an instant.

This of course would not happen if I was using an online backup service. I can get started right away with a free IDrive-E account of 2GB and so can you. You can protect your treasured photos, MP3s and financial documents. You can even store videos which is great because now that I am making videos for the web I need to store many raw files of footage. The IDrive-E can be mapped directly to your PC so you can drag and drop files directly to the online drive.

And if you are a small business looking to protect your files off site a recent enhancement allows you to create and manage multiple accounts for your small business. It just makes sense to be protected.
