Show Notes

After a significant milestone (or time in this case), it’s important to take a look back and see all the great places and people we’ve talked about.

Of the great restaurants and fun times discussed throughout Tampa Bay, which ones still hold up?

Is the relish tray at Beachcombers still as delicious?

Is Vesuvio at Bella’s Cafe still the mindblowing dessert it was?

Is the Strawberry Festival better than the Florida State fair?

We also mourn the loss of some of our favorites dineries throughout Tampa Bay.

Whether pandemic took them down, or simply they moved on to better things.

Episode 50 - Does Great Things Tampa Bay write paid puff pieces? [HATE MAIL]

Alexa,

Show Notes

Does Great Things Tampa Bay write paid puff pieces?

Common wisdom is that if you don’t have haters, you’re not trying hard enough. I’ve now gotten a few pieces of hate mail, and thought I’d address one them directly.

Do You Do Paid Spots?

Plenty of publications and media outlets do them… but does Great Things Tampa Bay take payment for favorable reviews of restaurants, events, or to conduct interviews and highlight local businesses and charities?

And what do you think? Is there anything wrong with doing paid stories? Many say it’s ok as long as you state up front that you are being paid for it.

Episode 49 – 1812 Overture with Buccaneers Cannons at Raymond James Stadium by Florida Orchesta [2019]

Episode 49 - 1812 Overture with Buccaneers Cannons at Raymond James Stadium by Florida Orchesta [2019]

Show Notes

Listen as The Florida Orchestra performs the 1812 Overture at Symphony Under the Starts 2019 at Raymond James Stadium. Featuring actual cannon fire! It’s not going to be the same hearing this performed in the Straz!

Transcript at the bottom of this page!

Florida Orchestra

I was invited to attend Symphony Under the Stars by some dear friends of mine. And while the Florida Orchestra performed numerous tunes with a pirate theme (Including the Theme from Pirates of the Carribean and Hook!) the start of the show and most anticipated was certainly the 1812 Overture.

The 1812 Overture is know for a few things. 1) It was written as a Russian celebration for defeating Napoleon 2) The original performance included ringing every churchbell as well as firing actual artillery.

So it’s tough to pull off in an orchestral hall. Luckily, Raymond James stadium has one key ingredient to push this performance over the top… CANNONS!

Watch the video and listen in to a nearly overwhelming performance by the Florida Orchestra… and if you were wondering where you’ve heard this before, V For Vendetta is the likely candidate.
