Yesterday, we took the John Lennon Real Love Project to a new type of venue in the Bronx. Just as Rosemarie D’Amicio, our contact at the school, predicted – John’s messages of equality, peace and love were a fine match for this school’s culture. The students and teachers took to re-writing the lyrics of Lennon’s …
When I think of the places I’ve lived or visited in my life, I picture the buildings, the roads or the people first. But when I think of what I felt about each place, I invariably return to the environment – the sights and smells that I experienced walking outside of the home. I’m a …
A few days ago, we pulled into Katonah, New York – just 10 minutes away from our former home in Yorktown Heights. We’re parked in the driveway of our good friends, Sandi and Paul, while we do a bunch of gigs in the area and visit with friends and family. Was it weird to come …

Merlefest is a HUGE bluegrass festival begun by Doc Watson about 30 years ago to honor his son, Merle, who tragically passed in a …
I’ve walked across many a river stepping lightly and confidently from stone to stone. Without exaggeration, I can say that I have never ever slipped and fallen off a moss-covered rock, twisted in mid-air and found myself totally submerged and dripping from head to toe. Until today. When I, a 6’3″, 250-pound guy, fell into …

For those who are coming to this space for the first time, welcome! We are Beth & Scott Bierko, once homeowners in Yorktown Heights, NY and currently living the life of full-time RVers. After a one-month trial trip in August of 2021, we decided that it was time to sell our home while the market …
