Why?

I have never understood why people keep "weblogs" I mean who really gives a flying bird what I think or feel at a given instant in time?

However, I do have something to say:  I am very excited about our upcoming season.  The NERFA convention was a total blast, and I made many new friends.

My Dad's Truck and I have been friends for years.  I am looking forward to their Solstice Special.  I love hearing Bonnie sing ... and there is always something fresh from these fine performers.

Mike Agranoff - is a stellar character. His website reminds me of Shel Silverstein poetry, as does his music. This night is going to be a rollicking good time

Spook Handy is going to be the next Pete Seegar ... they are clearly good pals, and they are big shoes to filll.  Spook fits the bill. He asked for someone to perform as an opener, preferably someone young.
So the Open Mike will feature 13 year old Joe Krzyzewski. Joe at age 13 is an accomplished playwright and songwriter. He will be fun to hear too!

I met Victoria Vox several years ago at a tiny joint someplace in New York ... like Peekskill somewhere. She and a friend were playing for tips and she just floored me then with her great big smile.  Now that she has had time to work on her craft, and plays the meanest ukelele you will ever hear. Got one in the attic? Victoria will inspire you to dust it off and play a little yodelly music.

Joe Crookston is a smooth and polished performer - we are lucky to get him to come. I heard him play at NERFA and he almost defines music with his talent. A special treat for Father's Day weekend.

Lara Herscovitch - I have heard her play many times and she still seems to be getting better each time. Her clever songwriing in two languages is really something to hear ... I no longer wonder why people like opera with out even understanding the language. It just sounds great. And in 2006 she won the John Lennon songwriting award for an Hispanic song!
