Asa, I have exciting news for you about this stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! We are going to play in Woodstock…Maine!

Recently the James Webb Space Telescope photographed a giant question mark in space. But what does it mean? According to an interview with the European Space Agency in Space.com, the photo shows two […]
This gray and rainy day here in Maine, at the end of another long week, has got me feeling sentimental. I dedicate my parody of Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” to all the toys I’ve loved and lost. I also would like to take this opportunity to wish Bret Michaels’ dog, Nova, a German […]
