Did you hear about all the Napa Valley winery owners getting subpoenaed by the FBI? WHY are all these millionaires in at least a little bit of trouble? Something has gone wrong. I bet it has to do with water. Also! You know how Pekin Noodle Parlor in Butte, Montana was founded in either 1909 or 1911 and is called the oldest continuously operating Chinese restaurant in the country? WELL.

Boston’s music scene has always been defined by the small clubs that provide a platform for everyone from rising artists to local legends. But, in recent years, they are disappearing even outside of pandemic-related challenges. The latest closure is Atwood’s, a revered bar, restaurant, and music venue that will shut its doors this month after 16 years, signaling yet another significant loss among the community-centered stages that bolster Boston’s musicians.

Most amateur guitar players will chuckle at this comment made by Ray Mitchell (played by Alberta country singer-songwriter Corb Lund) to his 15-year-old guitar student, Leland Parenteau (played by Kaden Noskiye) in Guitar Lessons. It’s true: you can play a lot of songs if you know these chords. At the end of the movie, when Leland mastered the three chords, Ray says, “Then you’re set for life. Johnny Cash forever.”Guitar Lessons is an independent, locally produced (High Level, Alberta) movie.
