In response to: Bourdain finds a ‘masterpiece’ in Buffalo

Buffalo English, sometimes colloquially referred to as Buffalonian, is the variety of English used in and around the U.S. city of Buffalo, New York.

I think too much focus on these concepts when we are fortunate that Bourdain even came here , and it was all because of Nelson taking the time to send in a tape.

Hey Nelson:

Love your mussings on Buffalo food. I've put the clip about Bordain on my site from here in the mountains of NC, near Asheville -- give a shout.

Shoulda, Coulda , Woulda - too much focus on these concepts when we are fortunate that Bourdain even came here , and it was all because of Nelson taking the time to send in a tape.

The way you describe it is so intriguing!!! As for me, I cannot now say anything for sure...

In response to: Bourdain finds a ‘masterpiece’ in Buffalo

Sorry I missed it, but he should have tried the chicken wings @ Duffs on Sheridan & Millersport & it was Rick James not James Brown & there's a whole bunch of local talent, like Billy McCuen, & many others that are also worth their due !!!

nelson,
I must say I enjoyed your inspired segment on No Reservations. I'm a Buffalo fan. My old college roomate introduced me to the glories of Buffalo
over 30 years ago. Thanks for making a convincing argument to AB to come and experience Buffalo.

very nice write up Nelson! good luck with the new TV show idea!

In response to: TRAVEL CHANNEL

Your video was like one craving after another.

Damn i'm hungry.

In response to: TRAVEL CHANNEL

I went to high school and college in Buffalo, got married to a Buffalo lad and started raising my kids there. When they were in middle school my husband's work took us to Virginia.

That was thirty years ago. Watching your video took me right back like it was yesterday. Ted's hot dogs, Anchor Bar wings, and beef on weck -- terrific video shots and close-ups.

Don't know if it is still the same but if you get to do a whole cooking show on Buffalo you might emphasize the Italian sausage, the German bakeries, and the Polish Easter bread (they used to make a bread basket with hard-boiled eggs baked into it) and the German stollen at Christmas.

The ethnic roots of the European immigrants who came to work in the old Buffalo industries produced some terrific food. There were also great Greek, Croatian, Lithuanian, etc. eateries when I was there. If that is not all gone then the weaving together of many ethnicities into one cosmopolitan city might make a good theme for the TV show.

BTW, I don't know how much involved you are in making videos, but I love to do that also. Check out www.ivyhill.tv

Very best of luck. I hope you get to make a show with Anthony Bourdain. I would watch it over and over!

In response to: Buffalo Music Hall of Fame

What an honour! Congratulations, Nelson. This is fantastic news. Boy, do you and your handsome father ever look a lot alike.

In response to: Buffalo Music Hall of Fame

You totally deserve this honor, Nelson. I'm so happy for you! Where can I get your new CD and when/where are you going to be performing? I saw Party Squad recently but Rick was on keys...what a disappointment.
PS I play Blue Shadow just about every morning before work prompting my son to tell me how SICK of it he is! Great tune.

In response to: Buffalo Music Hall of Fame

Hey Nelson...Congrats on your induction. It's great to see an artist get the recognition they deserve.

In response to: Buffalo Music Hall of Fame

Congratulations ! So glad that you are being recognized as one of Buffalo's great talents. Have a wonderful time on Thurday !!

In response to: Psychic Detectives - New Episode!

All of the various mixes and themes are good, with both a density and then softer breaks. But the show itself showcases a theme of psychics portraying the truth and finding the solutions. At least one of these "psychic detectives" is not all she seems. Perhaps you should consider also some skeptical music for the many hard working detectives that use their insights, and technical training, not just fantasy claims. Keep up the good work though.
