Anthony Gomes is a fantastic musician. More, he's a musician that fits the Lyric Theater vibe. As Vintage Guitar says, Anthony and his band are “Equal parts down-home blues and hard rock.” Anthony himself says, “When people ask me what I sound like, I say, ‘If B.B. King was in AC/DC, that’s what it would be’. That’s High Voltage Blues in a nutshell.” more

Greetings from Capps. My apologies for not having an article last week. I had a surgical procedure on Tuesday and my first exam at Northark on Wednesday ,so it was a very busy week. Thankfully, Fallish weather has arrived and not a moment too soon. The moisture we've been getting is an added bonus, fire calls over the summer were minimal. Capps Batavia Fire did respond Tuesday morning to a rollover just west of Batavia on Highway 392 but no injuries and another wreck at Highway 65 and 412 on Wednesday afternoon. Our new recruits are close to being fully trained after they finish the 8 hour wildland Fire course. The Homesteaders Swap Meet will be held today (Saturday) at the Capps Mini Storage on Old Capps Road just off Highway 392 West from 9 a.m. to noon. Stand by for news on ongoing Swap Meets in October, not sure yet but may depend on the weather. Thanks to Gayla and her family for putting them on and to her folks for the use of the facility. Blessings, Doug more
