GETING IN TUNE

MARK RENBURKE

It was 1981, and he had just won the Ovation Guitars contest for “Best Guitarist in Connecticut.” Influenced by guitarists such as Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pitchell honed his craft and became more adept at his instrument with each passing year. By age 28, he was voted “Best Blues Guitarist” in Metro Magazine, and soon formed his own band. Named after a Stevie Ray Vaughan tune, Jeff Pitchell & the Texas Flood appeared at the 1997 Bluestock in Memphis and released its debut effort, Fat Cigars. Two more acclaimed releas- es followed, and Pitchell & Co. soon had opening slots for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Joe Cocker, Johnny Winter, and even hero B.B. King. In 2002, Pitchell signed to major label EMI and released his fourth CD, Heavy Hitter. The album reached No. 7 on the Billboard Charts, charting for 12 consecutive weeks and on receiving airplay on147 radio stations throughout United Jeff Pitchell & Texas Flood States and Europe.

Executive director, Darlene Enco, and President, Carol Enco, of Charlton pose for a picture. Randy Hill, of Charlton rides through the common on his ever so tall bike. Old Home Day

Chartlon—Scores of folks flocked to the common as part of Charlton’s 112th Old Home Day Monday, Sept. 1 — an annual tradition. Mother Nature blessed the area with pleasant temperatures and lots of sun throughout the day. The usual events, such as community groups selling items to raise money for their causes and people consuming food, were plentiful at the Labor Day event, but partygoers enjoyed a few new things to do.

By Keith Griffin

When it comes to station wagons, you just can’t beat the 2008 Ford Taurus X. I know. Ford would never call this crossover utility vehicle a station wagon because the term is no longer hip in the automotive world, but that’s what the Taurus X really is: a heckuva good, fam- ily friendly station wagon. Unfortunately, it appears to be a vehicle not long for the automotive world. Published reports suggest that the Taurus X will not be offered after the 2009 model year. It has been done in by the success of the Ford Flex and Ford Edge. I absolutely love the former and can’t fathom why the latter has succeed- ed. There are elements of the Ford Edge in the Taurus X, which first began life 2004 as the Ford Freestyle. It should have kept that name instead of attempting to draw on the limited goodwill associated with the former Taurus name, which was reinstated on the Ford Five Hundred (yet another Ford product that I love and recommend). The Taurus X drives small, but can hold seven in a 2x2x3 seating arrangement. I found it easy to maneuver during not one, but two trips to New York City in the week I had it. Feeling frugal, I even Ford Taurus X crossover sports a new front end design inspired by the Ford Edge, better acceleration thanks to a new 3.5-liter V-6 found on-street parking on a Saturday engine and even more flexibility with one touch flip-and-fold 2nd row seats and a power liftgate. morning and parallel parked my way into the spot.
