Fond Memories – Revisiting 1415 Gerard St, Rockville, Maryland.

This latest trip to the U.S. continued on a nostalgic theme with a visit to a very special house in Rockville, Maryland. Three weeks ago I attended a Peter Fampton concert on the outskirts of Cleveland and some 37 years after attending the ‘Frampton Comes Alive Tour’ concert in Sydney. A week ago Tour Miss and I arrived at the front  gates of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and 36 years since good friend, Joe Sroba and myself had done the same but on a much colder November’s day in ...

Bernie’s Birthday At ‘The Brickyard’ & Nearly 36-Years After First Visit.

The past two weeks travelling the States to report on golf has very been a reminder for me back to the 70s and including Monday in celebrating my birthday. I made mention that while Tour Miss and I were in Ohio for the WGC – Bridgestone Invitational I attended a Peter Frampton concert some 20-minutes drive north of Akron. The first and only time I had been to Peter Frampton concert was in 1978 in Sydney when Frampton’s LP – Frampton Comes Alive – was the then largest selling ...

Bernie’s A Lucky Birthday Boy Sausage.

There is lucky sausages and there is lucky sausages but I was surprised to find a meat shop in nearby Port Washington bearing my name – Bernie’s Meats. Check out the pics and thanks to everyone ‘back home’, including young Nikki and Jamie in chilly Bathurst, for the warm birthday wishes. I may just decide to throw a sausage on the ole barbie over here in what has been heatwave conditions in upstate Wisconsin.

Bachhus Lotus Rock 97th PGA Championship Patrons.

It had been another long day reporting on the 97th PGA Championship and day abruptly halted by a voilent electrical storm that lashed the Whistling Straits area. However in alighting from the media shuttle bus to the car par we began hearing sounds eminating from a barn-like structure on the edge of the car park. A little investigating and it turned out the band is called – BACHHUS LOTUS. And the lead singer informed me they are based just down the road in Sheboygan in upstate Wisconsin which ...

Bernie Gets His Hands On Rodman Wanamaker Trophy – Reward For 2015 PGA C’ship Triumph

While 156 of the world’s best golfers have made their way to Whistling Straits in Wisconsin for this week’s PGA Championship, Bernie has beaten them to the prize. On show in the locker-room of the Whistling Straits clubhouse is the item they each will be seeking this week – the gleaming Rodman Wanamaker Trophy. But then while Bernie was in the clubhouse congratulating Ireland’s Shane Lowry he managed to get a snap beside the largest trophy in Majors competition.

Peter Frampton Comes Alive – 37 Years After Rocking Sydney To 2015 In Cleveland.

I felt right at home among the audience last night in the auditorium of the Hard Rock Cafe ‘Live’ Highfield Park Casino just on the outskirts of Cleveland, Ohio. The room was packed full of 50 & 60 year old’s and everyone warming to a thrilling two-hour concert by legendary rocker Peter Frampton. The England-born singer is now 65 years and living in Nashville but age was not a factor in an exciting peformance and with Frampton playing all his most famous hits and songs from ...
