I’ve always wanted a big bass drum and finally picked one up. This early 70s Slingerland 26″x14″ will be getting kicked by me soon.
I spent the day celebrating my good friend Erick’s birthday and eventually picked up my camera at the end of the night. Here’s what I got…
My dear friend and bandmate Scott Ricciuti passed away on April 5. I still haven’t found the words to express the profound impact that Scott had on my life while he was alive, and the impact that he has had on me since his death. Over the years I have had the privilege of playing music with Scott in HUCK (as a sub for the great Danny Lucas), Jim Carroll and The Catholic Boys, Shana Morrison, The Green Street Music Series, countless pick up gigs and Thursday nights at The Dive Bar in Worcester MA. More recently we had started a new original project called Pistol Whipped.
I hope to one day put it into words but I didn’t want too much time to pass without updating this site. In the meantime I’d like to share some links, photos and music, and encourage you to explore the music Scott made and the life he lived.
Here is a beautifully written article from Matt Robert. He has been adding to it as more comments and information is gathered.

This rock is on RT85 in Marlborough and was painted by friends of Scott’s. I went with some friends to visit it and took some photos.
here is a collection of photos I have taken of Scott over the years.

I had a great time shooting at the St. Patrick’s Day Party with Flock of Assholes at Loft 266 in Worcester. I think they are more fun as a large group, so here are 116!
