    Green Light Returns to Vino Di Sedona

    logo_greenlightSedona AZ (March 26, 2015) – Green Light, Sedona’s ever-popular original-rock band, returns to Vino Di Sedona Saturday March 28, 8-11 p.m.

    Led by New York City alumni Chicky Brooklyn and Tommy Acosta, along with local-musical luminaries Uncle Marc Wolin, Robin Miller, Eddy Barattini and Mike Leibowitz in the ensemble, this band has become one of Northern Arizona’s most popular original rock ‘€˜n’€™ roll vocal harmony groups.

    Their songs, all original compositions, span the full gamut of human emotions, from loves lost to loves gained and everything in between, each telling a musical story in a way everyone in the audience can relate too and sing and dance along with.

    The band’€™s name very well captures the spirit of the music they write and play.

    “€œWhy do people like green lights,”€ Chicky asks? “€œWell, a green light tells us we can go; that it’€™s safe to move forward. A green light tells us we are in the right path; that we can keep on going without interruption. No need to stop or slow down. All systems go. You got the right answer.”€

    Tommy chips in “€œWe love green lights in our lives because they tell us the path to our dreams is clear. No stop signs. No red lights — just full-steam ahead into the future.”€

    For Green Light the band, that’s’s what the music they write and perform is all about: a “€œgreen light”€ to play songs that live forever in your heart.

    “€œIt an act of courage to go out there and play only original music,”€ Chicky said. “€œThere are a lot of good bands out there that can really rock cover tunes but very few who play their own stuff and get work. People really like us. People like the tunes. And we like to play.”€

    Composed mostly of baby boomers, the band is capturing a much younger audience as well.

    “€œI guess it’s because we’€™re basically a bunch of old guys playing new music,”€ Tommy said. “€œThe songs remind us of when we we€™re young. They are not songs of the past but songs of the now where we are in our lives. It’s such a trip watching people in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s to 70’s rocking away on the dance floor to our jams. It’s like being on stage at the high-school dance once more all over again. It’s Deja Vu all over again, to borrow a phrase from Yogi. I guess the youth out there pick it up and get swept into the feel along with us. We all become kids again.”€

    Chicky said the band is really happy to return to Vino Di Sedona.

    “Playing there is always a special treat for us,”€ Chicky said. “€œWe like to look at this place as our “€˜Cavern”€™, the club in England where the Beatles started.”€

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
