NEXT BLOG April 12th, 2026.
All future Blogs will be posted on the 1st and 3rd week of every month (give or take a day or two). *Also in the event of any significant swell I will post the week of that swell. Although the blog is now bi-weekly, I'm certainly not gonna pass up a decent swell. So while it's basically going to be every other week, I left it open for some wiggle room.

STEPHEN WILSON Jr at THE HOUSE OF BLUES. THE LENNY BAND. REST IN PEACE ROBERT MUELLER. THE HUGE NO KINGS RALLY. THE ESA NNE IS BACK. PLUS NEW PICS AND VIDEOS FROM THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

Cory and I saw Stephen Wilson Jr last Wednesday March 18th, 2026 at the House of Blues in Boston. He was amazing. The band sounded great and Stephen had command of the stage as he belted out hit after hit. The sold-out crowd loved him.
But...for whatever reason, he elected not to perform the one song that catapulted him to fame. STAND BY ME. I don't think there's a single Stephen Wilson Jr fan alive who doesn't love his version of that song. Hell, he made it his own.
We all love it. I mean, it's the ONE song that everyone loves. And I guarantee everyone there last night was waiting for it. And they had to have felt like I did. Cheated, no, not cheated. Just really disappointed. I mean I love all of his original songs, but SBM is the song that got me in 2024. I was lucky (blessed) to see him play it last summer on Hampton Beach, in fact, I shot a video of him playing it and posted it on the Stephen Wilson Jr fan page.
And I also pissed off a lot of SWJ fans because I was disappointed.
They all got really mad at me saying they would rather hear his own songs than him doing a cover of someone else's song. But anyone who has seen SWJ live knows that he has taken that song and made it his own. I mean anybody who has heard him do STAND BY ME will testify that his version is the best version of that song out there. Period. Not even Ben E. King himself (he wrote the original) could top what SWJ did with that song.
I know you hardcore SJW fans agree with me.

The show itself was amazing. There is no dead weight in his band. And they did play all the hits of his albums and Stephen is quite the showman and he's pretty funny too. During the Gary song he walked right by me and Cory as he played this insane lengthy solo.

And after he walked by us he climbed up into the balcony while still playing his guitar. He was precariously hanging off the rafters too. Like I said, he was quite the showman. And it was great hearing these songs: GRIEF IS ONLY LOVE, FATHER'S SON, GARY, BILLY, PATCHES, NOT LETTING GO, I'M A SONG, HOMETOWN, YEAR TO BE YOUNG, and CUCKOO.
But no STAND BY ME...waaah. Sorry, that's one of my favorites.

Ed O'Connell was one of the most loved surf photographers in New England. A US ARMY Vietnam Veteran who saved the lives of so many ARMY Grunts in Nam in 68-69 as a Medic on board those Dust Off Hueys.
He was a close and dear friend of mine.
When he passed on July 1st, 2014 I swore I'd keep his memory and legacy alive by giving him this weekly corner. He loved surfing and he loved taking photos of all the surfers.
Not just those who could really stand out. He shot every one. As long as I shall live and breathe the salt air, there will be a corner dedicated to Ed.
ED'S CORNER March 29th, 2026

This is a first. I'm posting a TWO FOR ONE Ed's Corner.
This first pic is me surfing on March 25th, 2011. This was during my CATCH A WAVE FOR MOLLY campaign. As he always did, Ed would follow me around and shoot a couple of pics of me. I always felt comfortable knowing that Ed was on the beach documenting my journey.
And isn't that just like an ARMY Medic. Watching out for his grunts. Ironically, today is Vietnam Veterans Day. Though Ed and I never acknowledged this day.
It's just a day that Richard Nixon came up with in 1973 and Donald Trump made it an official day in 2017. Imagine that? A Vietnam Draft Dodger
came up with this special day.
Photo by Ed O'Connell

This second photo is of Brian Nevins. We were the only two out there this day. This spot is a little tricky as the RIP is non-stop. It's a constant battle trying to stay lined up. But it was cool to have Brian join me out there that day. Me, Brian, and Ed back then were three active duty local surf photographers. We never missed a swell. I'm pretty sure I surfed with Brian on a few other days during that year.
I have always said. The BEST surf photographers in the world are surfers. To really know surf photography, you have to know surfing. And let's be honest. Nobody knows surfing and the mechanics of a wave better than the surfers. And the three of us were surfers. Brian and I still are.

PRE-ORDERS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.
I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S READY.
I again apologize for being so late with this book writing project.
The good news is the longer version will be available Online in it's entirety. ALSO this just in. We are doing a AUDIO version of the book with me doing the reading.
I'm also thinking about venues for Book Signings. All my friends say I need to have one (or two).
The book is in the hands of the publisher. Thanks for being so patient with me.

UPDATE: The Online version will have all the stories and images. The printed version will only have the stories that I feel will be the most entertaining. I'm also doing a audio book that I will be using my own voice. I've had too many friends suggest that I do the reading. I will post all the ordering info here.
The book will be available in both hard cover and soft cover on AMAZON, BARNES & NOBLE, INGRAM, GOOGLE BOOKS, and KOBO PUBLISHING.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN-THE "LENNY" BAND
Left to right: Ralph Fatello guitar and vocals, Dana Brown drums, Ronnie Chane bass and backing vocals, Johnny Fatello guitar and backing vocals. Photo by Sue O'Leary. I'm not gonna lie, this band is not a real band. It's a group of friends and fellow musicians who love and miss Lenny Dunn. As some of you may or may not know, Lenny Dunn was the drummer for the Nor'easters and before that, the drummer for the Catalinas.
Back in 2023 me, my brother Johnny from the VINNY BAND and The NOR'EASTERS along with Ronnie Chane and Lenny Dunn from the CATALINAS (Lenny was also the drummer for the Nor'easters), were rehearsing to submit two songs for the Phil Haynan Tribute CD.
Phil was the lead singer/guitarist from the DAWGS. I had penned an original song about Phil TRUE TO YOUR ROOTS and we were also doing a DAWGS song STAND IN YOUR SHADOW. I had come up with the name The VINNYLINAS (cross between VINNY and The CATALIONAS). Everything was going along nice and smoothly when Lenny suddenly died of a massive heart attack.
The project came to a screeching halt. As did The NOR'EASTERS.
I told Johnny and Mike White (bass player) that I would not play out under the NOR'EASTERS name without Lenny.
I called the women who were putting together the DAWGS Tribute CD to let them know that until further notice our submissions would be in limbo.
Fast forward to the winter of 2026. I had purchased Lenny's drums from his widow Marianne when Lenny passed. They have been sitting in my studio since 2023. I looked at the drums back in February and thought, why not call Johnny, Ronnie, and Lenny's longtime friend Dana Brown and see if we can revive the project with having Dana play Lenny's drums?
Well, we did just that, and I'm happy to report that we have two songs in the can ready to go.
Oh and the name? Why not call ourselves the LENNY BAND?

Dana is playing Lenny's drums. (*Note Lenny's hat on the bass drum.)
And we are honoring both Phil and Lenny by doing these songs. When the CD comes out I'll have it posted here on the Blog. Long live Phil Haynan and Long Live Lenny Dunn!
I CAN'T BE SILENT WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG IN THIS WORLD. I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I DID. THIS? THIS
IS WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS.

Try as I might to stay positive about the world we live in, our esteemed leader has once again opened his mouth and inserted his foot. The latest is his disgusting post about the death of Robert Mueller. Just when I think he couldn't possibly stoop any lower, he proves me wrong. How any single Republican, Democrat, or Independent cannot be disgusted by his post is a mystery to me.
I think the thing that bothers me the most about him, is how much damage he has caused in our country. He has single handedly destroyed families, friends, and neighbors. And he could care less. He is a man without empathy. He has zero compassion for anyone outside of his MAGA cult, and he lacks any and all decency. He is without question, the most unfit individual to ever hold the highest office in the world.
The truth is, he's a serial lying conman.
Here's a brief reminder of his lies within this past last year.
(And please prove me wrong about any of these promises).
1. He Promised during his campaign that he would be the President of Peace. NO NEW WARS. (And his administration all echoed that promise. Rubio, Vance, and Gabbard). It's all documented. NO MORE WARS.
2. He promised he would end the war in Ukraine in less than 24 hours or less. How's that working out?
3. He promised he would release ALL the unredacted Epstein files. (where he is mentioned over a million times).
4. He promised to cut our energy costs by 50% in the first year of his current presidency. Google it. He PROMISED.
5. He promised he would reduce the national dept in his first year of this current presidency. But as of today, he's added 500 BILLION dollars to our national dept this year alone.
And yet all of you who voted for him through his endless sea of lies, never bat an eyelash. He can do no wrong in your eyes. He lied to you. He lied to each and every one of us. And the killer part is he's making millions and millions of dollars every week while most people are struggling to get by.
My friends, we have all been conned by him.
And these disgusting posts about actual heroes like Mueller and Joe Kent are cruel and disturbing. We should all speak up. Your silence is deafening. This is not befitting of the office of President of The United States. It's just downright embarrassing. I know it. You know it. The whole world knows it.
One more thing. NOBODY IN THE TRUMP FAMILY EVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY. NONE OF THEM EVER PUT ON A UNIFORM TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM. But he has no problem sending our kids and grandkids to fight.

I lowered the flag in my front yard to half staff in honor of Captain Robert Mueller USMC. Robert Mueller was a bona fide war hero in Vietnam. He was a Grunt Platoon Commander and saw heavy combat in 1968-69. He was awarded the bronze star for bravery and was wounded in action. He was awarded the purple heart and the combat action ribbon, as well as the Vietnam Cross Of Gallantry. He went on to become the Director of the FBI
from September 4th, 2001 to September 4th, 2013
While Donald Trump claimed his dating life during the AIDS epidemic to the Vietnam War. He called it his own "personal Vietnam" because of the need to avoid sexually transmitted diseases. "I feel like a great and very brave soldier." Google it. He actually said that on the Howard Stern show. Google it. It's true.

"SEMPER FIDELIS SIR AND REST IN PEACE."
HEY DJT TELLING THE TRUTH HEALS ALL WOUNDS."

PLEASE KEEP THE PRAYERS COMING FOR SKY ROSA.
He's back home in NH with his family and enjoying the New Hampshire Spring weather. Meanwhile your prayers are helping.
As I have said, to know Sky is to love him. I can't wait to see Sky on the beach this summer. So Please, keep sending the positive vibes and prayers they really do work. Peace.
HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY GALE BRUNAULT!

My wife Cory and I attended the surprise 70th Birthday Party
for my sister Gale last week. She looked great (as she always does) and was truly surprised.
Her husband Brian did a great job keeping it all a secret. My other siblings were there as well as some of her oldest and closest friends. And the food was outstanding.
STOP THE PRESSES. THE ESA-NNE IS BACK.

We're all excited
to have the ESA-NNE back on the Northern New England seacoast. It's been way too long. But the waiting is over. New Director Nohea Nichols has been well versed in the contest scene having worked with her father and mother for many years.
So contact Nohea
and get signed up for the ESA and our first contest of the 2026 season.
THE SAD NEWS ABOUT A PAT'S LEGEND. JOHN HANNAH.

I loved watching John "HOG Hannah play football. Man when he was a pulling guard I pity any defender who got in his way. He was a beast. And everyone loved him. I really hope he beats this thing. I'll be saying prayers for him. I got to meet him at a Patriots game. I have an autographed photo and football from him. You were the Best John!
8 MILLION STRONG TURNED OUT FOR THE NO KINGS DAY PROTEST SATURDAY MARCH 28th, 2026

This will go down as one of the largest protests in the history of our Nation. And not only our country but around the world.
This image above is all humans standing on the beach. Say what you want, but this is pretty impressive.
But 8 million people? Man that is one large number. The truth is, this would bother any normal human being. But not this clown. He could give two shits about any of this. He is so far removed from any normal reaction from a caring individual. The man is not right in the head. And he is leading us into a shit storm in the Middle East.
Mark my words. This is not going to end well.

Oh shit no! Not again Tiger. Damn son, this is the third auto wreck you've been in during the last 5 years. They say he's dating one of the Trump women. Vanessa Trump. The ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr? Well Jesus Tiger, there's your problem Tiger. Them Trump bitches are sure to make a man grab the bottle
(and the pussy). *Sorry, That joke wrote itself. Anyway, you gotta get rid of the Trump Bitch before she gets you killed Mr Woods.
I am not surprised that the Sheik was there for the MUG Shot. Man those Trumpsters love those Mug shots. Though this one is not very flattering. Anyway, KSM got himself another eye catching front page story in
"The GITMO GAZETTE" with this latest story and photo. "FORE!"

And so my friends, please take advantage of this weekly photo shop of the mastermind who planned 9-11 and resulted in the deaths of 3,000 innocent civilians by KSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed). *Note to self -must pick up a case of TIGER WOODS GOLF Balls at Home Depot this week.
PLEASE KEEP SKY ROSA in your Thoughts and Prayers.
GET WELL SOON Jon Gozzo!
GET WELL SOON Jeff Chamberlain!

ME AND MY BROTHER JOHNNY FROM THE VINNY BAND, 1980.
This is a photo of me and my brother Johnny. It was taken by my late father on Lynn Common the summer of 1980. We played from 1976-1984 in the VINNY BAND. Then 1984 to 1988 in SEMPER FI. Then from 1988 to 2023 in The NOR'EASTERS. Currently we do recording projects and a few shows here and there. We played for my son Max and Jacquie's wedding in 2024. I hope we keep playing forever.

I kept a daily Blog on my CATCH A WAVE FOR MOLLY surf campaign, when I surfed every single day for 365 consecutive days. Click on the Banner above to read entries of my daily journey. There's some really interesting and true experiences
that happened during that year. Some of which are to this day, unexplainable. Some are just mind blowing. But all true.
I started on July 26th, 2010 and ended on July 26th, 2011.
Some rainy Sunday, pour yourself a cup or two and go through this year long journal.
Pay close attention to the month of May in 2011. Read that month and let me know what you think of that.
Be forewarned, it will change you forever.
