Coincidental Communication & an Otherworldly Sense of Touch
By Chris Pagano

Dr. Frank Nickell, Director of the Center for Regional History, spent some time at our office recently to share stories about strange happenings at local, familiar places. One particular story Dr. Nickell retold was a tragic tale from over half a century ago, about his then neighbors, the Williams’ family.

Main Street, not Wall Street, We Make The Difference?

Wes Wade
 
Too many times we see ourselves caving to the convenience of the chain stores, internet shopping and supermarkets, but how often are we missing out on supporting our local communities and businesses? We see our money going to Corporations that aren't as willing to see that it gets back to our community. Here we suggest the best way to protest Wall Street is by shopping Main Street.

Artist Spotlight

Featured Artist:  Mike Zito

Mike Zito Artist Review
Staff Writer

Mike Zito, who's new album Greyhound, has been nominated for the Blues Music Awards title "Rock Blues Album of the Year" in 2012, has graced Cape with his musical talent for the blues several times.

The nomination of his album  for the 2012 Rock Blues Album of the Year is a welcomed addition to the nomination of his album Pearl River, for the 2010 Rock Blues Album of the Year. Though he didn't win the award for the album, the title track Pearl River received the award BMA "Song of The Year" in 2010, which he performed with Cyril Neville.  The Blues Music Awards will be handed out in May.

Zito's career has led to many successes as he has worked through the trials and troubles of his past. The St. Louis native moved to Texas with his wife and three children. He tours currently with two bands, and he anticipates a very busy 2012 with much to look forward to in his music.
