 Dio Award
presented in honor of Ronnie James Dio
Selectively given to those who excel in the art of Ass Kicking while exuding "Dio-like" qualities!

 On Sunday June 27th I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Al Di Meola perform at the TCAN center for the arts in Natick. Together with my good friend Jay (bass player from Sun Jones) we got our faces blown off by Mr. Di Meola and his all star band "World Sinfonia". Two sets of mind blowing riffs and licks zipping by us at warp speed.
Thank you for making our choice for June's Dio Award so easy!
WOW!

DIO HALL OF FAME







 Ronnie James Dio has passed.
To say his music had an impact on me as a young teenager is an understatement. He was the voice of the "Metal Gods" that helped shape the sound of Heavy Metal in the late 70's and early 80's. 
The frontman of a soundtrack that takes us back to our fondest days during those restless teenage years.
Thank you RJD!



The Dio Award for March and our first inductee into the Dio Hall of Fame is
non other than the man, the myth, the legend....

Bootney Lee Farnsworth



Mr.Dio would be proud to have a dog like Bootney who has travelled far and wide marking his territory from Maine to Florida and Vancouver to Mexico.
Whether it was singing his favorite song, "the Chicken" to audiences around the country or embarking on his favorite hikes through the woods, Bootney Lee Farnsworth was a great companion who lived a rich and fruitful life. He was my best friend and he will missed dearly.
