First Night Alexandria


Alexandria holds a "First Night" celebration on New Year's Eve that is really good - activities for many tastes and age groups spread over an increasingly wide area. Given our kids' ages, we don't generally (ever) make it out until midnight, but we have a lot of fun. The highlight for me this year (and last) was seeing Bill Kirchen at the Torpedo Factory. Kirchen is the former guitar player for Commander Cody and played the unforgettable lead on 'Hot Rod Lincoln'. As this shot of his performance attests, he is getting on in years, but he can still play the guitar - in any style he wants.
