One man’s memories of The King

Written By Doug Dresher

While the loyal and talented crew of Asbury Park Vibes has been covering the Asbury Park Scene and North2Shore, I had the chance to witness a wonderful evening of Elvis' music. Brian Ostering, sans The Wag, performed the music of Elvis, not as a tribute to The King but as a tribute to the memory of his father. Throughout the evening, Brian told stories about growing up with Elvis's music, connecting his childhood musical experiences to his relationship with his father. It was a wonderful tribute to Elvis, but more importantly, to the memory of a good father who loved his children. The band featured Joe Lisa on guitar, Vincent Livolsi on drums, & Alicia Van Sant & Tiffany Ostering-Dibble on backing vocals!

Born from an existential argument between Modernists and Postmodernists, I have found my home with the post-punks and those who love a good slice of pizza. I live in a world of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and the ever-elusive Decisive Moment. Punctum and Studium aside, I like to take photographs of people and things to see how they look photographed. While I miss both CBGBs and a cool place to bowl in Asbury Park, Punk is still whatever we made it to be. The Future is Unwritten, and I owe it all to Mr. Bradley and Mr. Martin. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (and Women) and ask the Little Prince for his thoughts. Sometimes, I'm On the Road, but if it weren’t for the honor of the thing, I’d just as well walk. My loving wife supports this albatross of an obsession, and my kids put up with me well. BA, MFA, M.Ed., BCEA, Nikon, FUJI, Tri-X.
