USMC Staff Sgt. Franky Rodriguez, of Perth Amboy, is in charge of the Marine recruiting office in East Brunswick. In 2008 he was named the Marine's top recruiter in the nation. We caught up with him recently too see what his day was like. (Video by John Munson, Story by Matt Mabe)

A speedy trip down to the NJ shore from Penn Station in NYC. So fast at times that the view resembles abstract paintings in motion. A visual treat with some great graffiti.

For the eighth year, the staff of the Robert N. Wilentz School in Perth Amboy portrayed Puritans landing on the shores of America in honor of Thanksgiving. A traditional turkey dinner was served to the students following the festivities. (Video by Amanda Brown/The Star-Ledger)

This show originates at www.musicianscooler.com Dancing with the Stars is Going to Make Me Gauge My Eyes Out I was at a club this weekend and the band was playing some old 60 s tunes. They launch into Journey to the Center of your mind by Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, and a couple gets up to do their Cross Country Ballrom Dancing routine. This included lots of posing, and (of course) a dip at the end. This has to stop. Cool MySpace Widget I was over at www.jimmiebratcher.com when I was he was using some social networking widget called Gydget. You can find it at http://www.gydget.com/home/bands This seems to really boost alot of intereactivity at myspace and facebook, etc. You can sell tickets, ringtones, music and more while you add top fans to your widget. From what I ve seen it s free. Cover Band Tips I saw a band this weekend called Cosmic Candy. They were really talented and did a great job of paying attention to their fans (as in playing requests immediately when people request them). They also took the song Funky Town and made it their own. On the other hand their website promotes their myspace page (www.myspace.com/thecosmiccandyband ) their website is www.cosmiccandy.org I went over there and found it odd that there was no about the band that says: 1. Who they are 2. Who they sound like 3. Who is in the band Remember if someone is looking for a member of the band it won t work if they are not listed on their website. Also, if you list where you are playing (and you SHOULD), put the club s address. This way people can use sites like mapquest, and google maps and get directions. Make it easy for your fans to find you. The other thing I noticed is there was no contact name on the business card (I realize this means anyone can pass out cards). Business cards are cheap if someone quits and you have to make new cards, its not going to kill you (and you can use those in the event you run out). Survey Question: Cover bands, Are there songs you thought were going to go over (and didn t) and songs you thought might lay an egg and instead went over like gangbusters. Let me know 888-563-3228 (or email me at musicianscooler at gmail dot com) Matthew Ebel Launches Membership Site I talked about this in a previous episode that one way musicians can make money is by having a Fan site. Matthew Ebel is doing this exact thing with memberships starting at $5 a month going up to $15 a month. You can read about all the bonus material he will be giving away at www.matthewebel.net I believe he is using the Amember membership script to pull this off. Amember is around $179 for the script.
