My podcast interview on Bright Side with Tekneisha, 2014

Published March 25, 2024 by Maryanne

Ten years ago I was interviewed on the podcast “Bright Side with Tekneshia” to promote my very first book, On the Guest List: Adventures of a Music Journalist. (Which is now out of print, but for those who don’t know, I have many other books in print and available in Barnes & Noble stores and on Amazon — all links are below).

Anyway, I’m re-listening for the first time in 10 years today, and it was a super fun interview. Tekneshia and I talked about being bullied in school, the music industry, growing up on music of the 1970s.

Tekneshia was one of my favorite interviews ever! She asked great questions. She was so much fun, and funny. I’ve shared some great stories too.

To hear these great stories, grab a cup of coffee, and check it out: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/tekneshiaday/2014/03/24/on-the-guest-list-adventures-of-a-music-journalist-with-maryanne-christiano

Work of Irish Glass Artist at St. Vincents, Bayonne, New Jersey

With Easter less than a week away, I thought it would be an appropriate time to re-share an article I wrote last year on St. Vincent’s Church in Bayonne, New Jersey, and their amazing stained glass windows, created by Harry Clarke, one of the greatest glass artists in history. You have to see it to believe it!

Danny Solazzi at one of my book signings!

Enjoy my recent interview with Danny Solazzi of The Characters for Union Local Source/Worrall Media: https://unionnewsdaily.com/news/the-characters-are-working-on-30th-anniversary-deluxe-edition-of-debut-album

Learn all about the concert that blew Danny away as a kid, running errands for Ray Davies, working at Joan Jett’s Blackhearts label, and performing onstage with greats like Shirley Jones, Ron Dante, and Andy Kim! It’s all in the article above!

As a side note, over the years Danny who is a very good friend of my husband’s, has also become a great friend of mine too. Over the years fun times included car shows with Dennis’s Pop, Dennis temporarily performing in The Characters, seeing The Characters perform at a Brady Bunch Convention (and seeing Barry Williams aka Gregg Brady, watching them from backstage) and even Danny showing up at one of my book signings!

The article made front page, and we’re all excited and celebrating Danny’s successful career!

New Sierra Ferrell Release Today!

Published March 22, 2024 by Maryanne

Sierra Ferrell, Maryanne, Kingston, NY, 2019

I’m so psyched the new Sierra Ferrell album “Trail of Flowers” is released today; coincidentally on National West Virginia Day, where she is from.

I’m listening to the album on YouTube now, but I pre-ordered the CD some time ago; and my husband got me a colored vinyl.

The photo of me, with Sierra, was back in the summer of 2019. Two weeks prior, I first heard of her. I saw a photo of her, looking all “Little House on the Prairie” with big barrel curls, which made me curious. I soon discovered she’s a fashionista, always in different clothes, different hairstyles, different make-up … Her looks range from old school country, to sexy, to street chic, to costume/theatre, to glamour.

The first song I heard by her was “Jeremiah” and I was hooked. I spent two hours going down the YouTube rabbit hole, watching every video I could find and researched and found other musicians she performed with.

I told my husband Dennis about her that night and said, “We HAVE to see her.” Then, with my great luck, she was performing in two weeks. With that, we scored a hotel and head up to Kingston, NY, which was only an hour away. We really didn’t need a hotel and were so hyped up afterwards, we just decided to drive back home–and gave our hotel room to her bandmate, Nate Leath, who we chatted with at the bar. And, who knows, maybe Sierra stayed in our room too?

Two years later, during the pandemic, we saw her perform again in Atlantic City.

She’s been one of my absolute favorites since 2019 and I predicted she’d be very big “someday” and now she is. She sells out shows all over the world!

Now, on to the new album. I’m listening to all the tracks as I’m enjoying my morning coffee, opening emails, tending to this blog, and Facebook.

So far, this track is my favorite:

But in my prediction, I’m guessing “American Dreaming” will be the one to break her to the masses. Just a gut feeling.

I hope you all love Sierra Ferrell as much as I do!

Now, back to listening … What a happy morning!

Vegan Raves!

Published March 21, 2024 by Maryanne

Maryanne and vegan friend, Linda @ Viktoria Seiz raw vegan cafe

I was very blessed to spend some quality time with my dear friend Linda the other night, along with our significant others. I’ve raved about raw vegan dessert place, Viktoria Seiz, before and was happy for all of us to meet there for some more deliciousness!

If you’re ever in Westfield, New Jersey, be sure to check them out: https://viktoriaseiz.com/

While on the topic of veganism, I want to share a few great vegan finds in the last couple months and give some shout outs!

  • “5 Ingredients Raw Vegan Cookbook for Two” by Peter Nikki — I have to laugh at this book, it’s not raw, and I actually found a recipe in it that’s not vegan. It may have been an AI generated book for all I know because I looked up the author and came up empty handed. HOWEVER, I can’t write this book off as something bad. It has 124 (it says “125” but one of the recipes had yogurt–you can’t make this stuff up!) recipes that were simple, fast, and just for two. And they were good! So, let’s just say that this is the best bad book I’ve ever purchased. Flaws and all, it’s a great find!
  • “The Cookbook for People Who Love Animals” — This book was written in 1981, with an 8th edition in 2008. I have to say, I just love anything old school vegan, as it feels like “home.” When I first experimented with veganism in 1986, it was hard, especially dining out when you were limited to a baked potato and a salad with iceberg lettuce. This book shows just how limited we were back then as tofu is the main ingredient in most recipes. However, I LOVE this book too. I’m humbled to say I never knew what sorghum was and now I really enjoy using it sometimes as a sweetener. There are also lovely drawings of animals, and beautiful poems throughout the book. I found the book at “The Planted Plate” in Princeton, New Jersey. There are many great recipes in here including easy vegan sorbets that just require a blender and a freezer.
  • Yes We Vibe. This is a vegan shoe/boot/apparel company: https://yeswevibe.com that I absolutely love. I have three pair of boots and they are so comfortable, plus I get a ton of compliments on them.
  • ShopRite. I have to give a big shout out to ShopRite! Yes, all of them are different, but if you find a quality ShopRite (preferably a World Class one) you will score some great vegan finds like Elmhurt nut milk (they rock because they don’t have sugar and additives, just nuts and filtered water); and Three Wishes vegan/keto sugar free/gluten free cereal that tastes like Cheerios. And for the most part, they are friendlier than Whole Foods.
  • Lady and the Shallot. This super cool vegan eatery is situated in the Trenton Market. The food is fantastic and the entire staff rocks! If they weren’t over an hour from me, I’d be eating here a few times a week. For those in the Trenton area, go check them out!
  • Joan Jett. A long time animal activist and very cool rock star. I met Joan at a vegan event back in NYC, around October 2009. It might have been Halloween. She gave a short speech about animals being our friends. The cool thing Jett has over other celebrity vegans is she’s not on a high horse about it. She’s extremely down to earth, and I love her for that! (Vegan musician Brian May is similar, so a shout out to him too!)

Plus, two amazing pro-vegan movies I saw that don’t have graphic slaughterhouse scenes and focus more on the healthy aspects of becoming vegan.

  1. “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” It’s about a man named Joe Cross who lost about 100 pounds on a juice cleanse and eating vegan.
  2. “May I Be Frank” I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this movie! It’s another one about a man who became vegan and dropped a ton of weight. I was honored to meet Frank Ferrante at one of the showings of this 2010 gem.

“May I Be Frank” was the inspiration to my upcoming book, “Grandpa Guts” which I’m currently shopping around to publishers. “Grandpa Guts” is a fiction story about an overweight middle-aged rocker, Guts Gore, who has given up all hope. Though he was nearly idol status in the 1980s, fans barely recognize him in modern times. Except for a young fan named Flynn who is determined to get Guts Gore back onstage! At the end of the story, I have about 30 easy vegan recipes, all named after song titles. I am so psyched for this; over eight years in the making/writing!

Do you like my vegan raves? What most resonates with you?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day – Get Yer Green On!

Published March 17, 2024 by Maryanne

Me, in my 40s

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s a day for Irish and Irish Americans to celebrate their heritage. I’m not Irish, but I love to learn about all cultures.

In fact, I once had a lecture on St. Patrick’s Day that I presented in libraries.

Presenting “Luck of the Irish” at a library

After one of my “Luck of the Irish” presentations at an assisted living facility, these two ladies sang a few Irish songs for St. Patrick’s Day — “When Irish Eyes are Smiling” and “Danny Boy.”

Then there was the year I made a healthy spinach pasta dish for St. Patrick’s Day.

And, then there’s my green friend, Kermit the Frog, who wants to wish all of you a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May today, and all your days be lucky!

Rockin’ the curls on national curl crush day

Published March 16, 2024 by Maryanne

3-9-24

The above photo was taken last Saturday. It was a drizzly day, which I love because it brings out my natural waves. On dry days my hair is super straight, so I guess you can say the weather is my hairstylist. Since last Saturday I had about an inch and a half cut off and styled/straightened for my presentation at the Barron Arts Center, which I wrote about yesterday: https://maryannemistretta.wordpress.com/2024/03/15/going-going-gone-full-house-at-barron-arts-center/

But guaranteed, in a short time my hair will be out of control again. My hair grows like weeds! Many times when it gets that long, I just do a little side pony and throw a hat on. (Is there a national hat day? I’m all about that too!)

National Curl Crush Day is a day to embrace your curls/waves/natural hair. I have the best of both worlds by being able to have straight hair via the flat iron, or curly/wavy by just letting it go natural, or being caressed by rain.

I found this old shot from several years ago where my hair is curly, thanks to not blow drying and a little fingering/fluffing.

And another fluffy haired photo from in my 40s

Today is a day to celebrate curls–whether natural or styled. If you’re always straightening your hair, today is the day to try something new. Who knows, you may get compliments from strangers!

Curly haired musicians include — Slash, Brian May, Jim Morrison, Mariah Carey, Rhianna, and Sophie B. Hawkins. And oftentimes there are those who make their hair curly via wigs, like Cher. And they all look amazing!

Take today to rock those curly heads! Happy Curl Crush Day to all!

‘Going Going Gone’– full house at Barron Arts Center

Published March 15, 2024 by Maryanne

Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta and Antonia Pancel

Thank you so much to Antonia Pancel, Brandon Powell, and Cynthia Knight, of Barron Arts Center, for having my program “Going Going Gone: What the Next Generation Won’t Remember.”

And to Woodbridge Television for filming it!

It was a great success! We had a full house! The highlight of the evening was a woman who brought in a record player from the 1940s that worked! We listened to a little bit of Elvis Presley (which means, my mom was looking over us!)

Definitely a night to remember! I am ecstatic!

Chatting with Antonia before the program

I will link to the Woodbridge Television when they put it up in a few days.
