ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT.... You’ll find Bill McCarthy out on the Cape this weekend performing at two popular Irish pubs. But most other weekends, as well as the majority of the weeknights, McCarthy is found right here in our area (Central Mass), either performing a great night of acoustic rock or hosting the show at one of several open mikes. Influenced by likes of John Lennon, Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello, McCarthy has the talent and knack to take his original songs and make them instantly familiar, or a ubiquitous favorite and make it all his own. As a solo act, McCarthy has been a mobile fixture on the Worcester-area music scene for 10-plus years now. In 2001, he was voted “Best Solo Act” by the Worcester Phoenix’s Peoples’ Poll. Before going it alone, he had for a decade and a half fronted such bands as The Zones and The Reflexion, which opened for Beatlemania in 1990. He has the ability to “mold his voice” to sound like various singers, a talent that also comes in handy for the many TV and radio voice-over jobs he does on the side. Although known for playing a large variety of classic and contemporary rock, McCarthy’s original songs are pop-rock masterpieces in their own right (visit his myspace/badclownproductions to hear the latest). Rather than carbon copy or cheap imitate the artists that inspire him, McCarthy mixes them together into an audio stew while throwing in some tasty nuggets you won’t likely expect. Whether you are an itching musician (note: be sure reserve your slot in advance at his Open Mic World: www.MySpace.com/OpenMicWorld) or simply a rabid music fan, stop in to one of McCarthy’s local open mikes and you won’t be disappointed at the talent and variety. .... .. .. ..Hey!.. ..Bill McCarthy's Open Mic Nights.. ..are.. ..The Best..

Back in the Fall of 1986, my wife and I had dinner at The Emperor of China in Boston, MA (near The Orpheum Theater).. We were in town to see ..Elvis Costello and The Attractions..... The restaurant was practically deserted; as it was early in the evening. On my way to the mens' room, I noticed one table in the back dining room full of men eating and drinking. It was conspicuous because all of the other tables were empty but there were six or seven guys crowded in and around this one lone table in the corner... Later, at the concert, Elvis introduced his song "The Blue Chair" with, "This is a song about drinking your sorrows away at the end of the day in a place like... ..'The Emperor of China'."...... I am convinced that table of noodle-eaters was indeed Elvis and his band and their handlers. ..
