Back in 2015, Eloise mentioned her cousin’s band Chatham County Line, who had opened for the Avett Brothers and would be up in NYC. rtb and I saw them at Rockwood and were very impressed. So, when I saw that they would be playing The Loft at City Winery, I alerted the local music-going group […]
This was the second half of my Rhett Miller/Ben Nichols sandwich for the week. Ben does not tour solo as often as Rhett does and he only has one solo album, so most of what he plays is Lucero, which is fine by me. He also plays songs that the band does not usually play. […]
The week was going to be good because it was going to be a Rhett Miller/Ben Nichols sandwich – Rhett on Monday and Ben on Saturday. Rhett was playing at City Winery and Mrs Devereaux had gotten us (me, rtb, peg, violaleeblue, Peter) our favorite table next to soundboard. Unfortunately, Mrs Devereaux did not feel […]
On January 28th, the Queens Dinner Club had their event at Bajeko Sekuwa, a Nepali restaurant in Sunnyside, Queens. The name means grandpa’s bbq and the owner used to grill skewers at a stand on the road to the Kathmandu airport. He now owns 14 restaurants in Nepal and the one in Queens. Peter was […]
One of the things I was hoping to do during my Phoenix trip was to visit the Musical Instrument Museum, which I was not able to do. But in looking at the site, I saw that they have concerts and I bought tickets for An Intimate Evening with Betty LaVette Featuring Evan Mercer on Keyboards. […]
During my trip to Phoenix, my sister Denise had suggested that I check out Old Town Scottsdale and when I researched it I found the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art was there and both exhibits looked good to me. So I figured how to contact Lyft via my laptop and went to the museum. The […]
After a day in Sedona (visiting my sister who lives in Phoenix) we headed back to Phoenix and the Crescent Ballroom to see Lucero. The Crescent Ballroom has a restaurant/bar in the front and upstairs – Cocina 10. The venue is in what looks to be part financial district and part hipster central for Phoenix. […]
My boys were back in town playing at a new (for me) venue. The Warsaw in Greenpoint is a walk from the L but close to the G. On the way there I realized that I had forgotten the print out of my receipt or ticket. Usually I buy will call, so I figured my […]
As I mentioned, the first two weeks of October in NYC is crazy if you want to take advantage of the great things happening. I attended all five programs for Fall for Dance, six events for the New Yorker Festival the first weekend, and three sites for Open House New York on the second weekend. […]
Back to New York City Center and the second night of Fall for Dance. Our teacher for the pre-show dance lesson was Amy Young from the faculty (and former dancer) of the Paul Taylor Dance Company. She was very enthusiastic and very encouraging. We started with warm-ups and then she taught us moves that would […]
