Ridgewood NJ, Founding Member of The Who, ROGER DALTREY, will sign his new book at Bookends : Roger Daltrey: My Story ,Thursday, October 25 at 7 PM.

If any one member of The Who can be said to be the group’s founding member it is singer Roger Daltrey. Born in the West London suburb of Shepherd’s Bush on March 1, 1944, Roger first assembled the group that would become The Who in 1961 while at Acton County Grammar School, recruiting John Entwistle and subsequently agreeing to John’s proposal that Pete Townshend should join. In those days Roger, whose daytime job was working in a sheet metal factory, even made the band’s guitars, and it was his energy and ambition that drove the group during their formative years. That same energy, coupled with his unwavering resolve, has sustained the group during periods of uncertainty ever since.

Ridgewood NJ, if you are thinking about “rocken out” at you next BBQ ,better make sure they band is done by 11pm . The Village Council on Wednesday night approved an amendment that adds one more thing to an ordinance banning nighttime noise , “band or music”.

Live bands have been added to the list of nuisances that are restricted after 11 p.m. Ridgewood has long had an ordinance banning nighttime noise, but it specified things like whistles, horns, stereos and ringing bells.

Some have interpreted the action as an attempt to shut down live music , while other see it as another way to control parties but the council seemed to be attempting to say neighbors should just mind their won business and butt out before 11 p.m.

Mayor Susan Knudsen , told North Jersey Media ,”This is to allow someone to hire a band without fear of having it shut down, up to a reasonable hour,”

In the past a phone call from an angry neighbor could have had the police shut down a party at any hour. Now, those guitar solos and pounding rhythms are allowed until 11 p.m.. After 11pm the music can’t be loud enough “to disturb the sleep of persons in the immediate vicinity.”
