Our cover story, “Revelations from Dashboard,” is an in-depth interview penned by the very talented Michelle Kaplan, featuring a Florida band that could very well be entering the ranks of the supergroups in the not too distant future. Michelle does an excep- tional job of tapping into the creative psyche of these incredibly talented young people. Believe me, you will walk away with an inside, “sights and smells” look at what its like to be on the cut- ting-edge of today’s music scene – and on the verge of stardom. Buzz editor, Glenn Swift, has written a great story about one of the legends of rock n’ roll, a household name to Classic Rock lovers everywhere – the one and only, Edgar Winter. Glenn will take you on a magical mystery tour of sorts, starting with Edgar’s childhood in the backwoods of Texas in the 1950s, his skyrocketing to fame in the early 1970s, and Winter’s notable accomplishments in music right up through to the present day. Dana O’Kane gives us a colorful story about a very popular local band, the Hot Sauce Boys. The other Glen Swift (yes, the one with one “n”) shows his typical wit in “Off the Cuff,” as does Michelle again in “Buzzed Perspective.” Richard Munroe has weaved a fas- cinating story about a very important chapter in Treasure Coast history, and Glenn Swift will grab you once again in “Flipper’s Sick,” a sad tale about the plight of the dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon. Last, but definitely not least, Jill Diliberto, Buzz Writer of the Year in 2006, will surely stir up a bit of controversy with an eye-catch- ing piece on the death penalty. Trust me, it’s a “killer” story…Ha Ha Ha. So grab yourself a latte, cozy up in a comfortable seat, and enjoy the latest issue of The Local Buzz. 3 LocalBuzzMag.com June/July ISSUE 2007 Josh Zuckerman LLOCALOCAL BUZZBUZZ Country-Pop-Rocker Comes to Vero Beach!
