This past week was a time for Syracuse to celebrate the people and history of The Syracuse Music Scene. The 25th Syracuse Area Music Awards, THE SAMMYS.
We have a fantastic variety of genre’s and performers through out Central New York. Thursday, March 1st was exciting to say the least, The SAMMYS Hall of Fame Inductees Dinner. This was a night to honor the people who are the foundation of Syracuse music. John Cadley, Maryjo Spillane, Stacey Waterman, DOVE as well as Music Educator Award Monk Rowe and Life Time Achievement Award Dave Frisina, these were just the ones on stage.
The upstairs room of the Dinosaur was filled with who’s who of Syracuse Music. Listening to the award recipient’s tell their stories of their life in music was, for me, stories never to forget. I have always listened to Dave Frisina on the radio since I can remember, I have been lucky enough to have met him in person. Dave’s achievements I think we all know because we have heard him for, lets say many years, but to learn about other’s, who are often behind the scenes with their untold stories who keep the music moving such as Maryjo Spillane and Stacey Waterman. All they spoke of was there love for Syracuse and the Syracuse Music Scene, even with a Winter Storm on it’s way for the next evening.
