Blue Point Native's First CD Makes For a Perfect Stocking Stuffer

If you can get to Houdek's Liquor store today you can even get it autographed.

With under 12 hours until Christmas the last minute shopping rush is on. But a great gift is easy to get as Travis McKeveny's first CD is available at Houdek's Liquor store in Bayport.

And if you can get there before the store closes tonight you might just be able to get it personally autographed as McKeveny is behind the counter helping to handle the extremely busy crowd of shoppers.

The Blue Point resident appears often at Bayport's Grey Horse Tavern and his literate and carefully wrought songs “balance storytelling with poetry,” in the words of vaunted upstate New York folksinger Fred Gillen, Jr., placing him “in the tradition of the great ballad singers.” He has opened for such nationally touring acts as Bobby Bare, Jr.;  Todd Sheaffer, of Railroad Earth Fame; and Chuck Prophet, formerly of Green on Red.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
