Paul Collica was six years old when he got his first guitar. A small-scale Breckinridge acoustic that he remembers in a beautiful slop brown color. Collica and his Breckinridge bonded immediately. “I played it so much that I wore down the frets and put dents in the fingerboard,” he says. At age 8 he moved onto a Westbury.

If Al Roker is your favorite weatherman, you might want to add favorite author to your list of kudos.
In December, The Boulevard caught up with Roker when he was at the Book Revue in Huntington to sign copies of his newest whodunit, The Midnight Murders. During the Q&A session, Roker revealed a down-to-earth and witty side of himself – from talking about bagging frozen chickens when he was a kid to telling audience members what he did in the cold weather while attending SUNY Oswego. “There was July 4 and then there was winter,” noted Roker. “I ate a lot.”

It didn’t take long for Graham Phillips to know he wanted to perform. School productions provided a creative outlet for the young actor, however, his first professional gig as Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol at Madison Square Garden triggered an intense love for the craft. The sheer spectacle of the show brought such a sense of magic to acting that Graham knew it was his calling.

After working on the London-based show X Factor, Jaime Gomez, more famously known as Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas, is glad to come home to his wife and two kids. Being a member of one of the biggest bands out there, jet-setting around the world is no new thing for Taboo. Between that, writing his autobiography, Fallin’ Up, and designing and launching two sneaker lines, he’s learned how to balance all of the elements of his life: his burgeoning career, his wife and his children.
For Taboo, getting to this point in his life has not come easy. What’s gotten him through is a passion for performance and music. A natural performer from the age of 5, Taboo was pushed by his grandmother to pursue his talents professionally. “My grandmother would introduce me when I’d come in the room: ‘Give it up for Jaime Gomez!’ and I would perform to Spanish songs, and then rap songs back in the ’80s when Slick Rick first came out … my grandmother was always the person that spearheaded that,” he says.

The first time I saw Ronnie Wood it was in a non-concert setting, sometime back in the ‘80s. It was like a scene out of a How To Be a Rockstar movie.The place? Outside of a Manhattan club. The obligatory stretch limo pulls up, Ronnie steps out of the car in full rockstar regalia: tight jeans, leather jacket with scarf, guitar around his neck, cigarette in one hand and martini in the other. I’m pretty sure not a drop was spilled, either.
