Michael Hitchcock singing the song that caught John Williams' attention at Tanglewood. According to Joe Wilk's mother, "the gang" had tried to stop Williams for an autograph, but he kept on walking until Michael belted out this tune. Williams stopped in his tracks, turned around and signed the autographs for "the gang"! Good job Michael! My personal favorite part of this clip is Michael asking Shaun Behrent for six cents only to have Joe's father give him what was left in his pockets.

Ethnic Fair 2010

The 2010 Ethnic Fair was a tremendous improvement over the 2009 event. The crowd was substantially larger, due in part to the wonderful weather in the Berkshires and the ease of finding (and getting to) parking. Also noticeable was a greater selection of vendors and food options throughout the Fair. However, it was odd to see some of the stores in the immediate Fair real estate to actually be closed for the afternoon. Rebel Sound Records saw more new faces and it was nice to meet them. Had we been closed it would've been a different story. We were visited by Mayor Ruberto, Bill from the Garden, Joe Wilk's parents, Cruz "Man About Town" Swinson, Jon Plaid, Jess Derby, PRJ, NY Kelley, Shaun of the City, Mr. Hitchcock, the future Mr. & Mrs. Colin Damaged, Jay of Bare Bones/Mudlark/Low Character, Zach McCarthy, Jon "Stop & Shop" Hanson, some dogs drinking out of the complimentary dog water in front of the store, MAC, Allie of the Furiousity, the WTBR on-air maniacs and more people whom I probably forgot.

Please Help Joe Wilk's Parents FIND HIM

Mr. & Mrs. Wilk came by Rebel Sound Records looking for their son Joe. "Please help, we haven't heard from him in months," said Mrs. Wilk. Mr. Wilk agreed, "Maybe if we were in Williamsburg, he'd take our calls. He probably picks up one out of ten times when we call." Wherever Joe is, please help these seemingly nice people.
