Tonight our Sister City Music Ambassadors will play our second gig at Patrick's Pub in Pittsfield to raise funds for the peace trip to Istanbul in June 2011. The fun starts at 6:30 pm. There will be a few guests and surprises so if you can make it: come on down!
Dianne will be doing a (mostly) sultry version of Cole Porter's "C'est Magnifique" which she has rewritten into French. Our friend - and new trip photographer from the Berkshire Eagle - Ben Garver is going to give the Allman Brothers' "Blue Skies" a workout. And there will be jazz standards, ballads, classics and some experimentation with rock and funk, too.
After the gig - and some rest - we're off to NYC to hang with the kids for the weekend. A post-Christmastide rest, if you will. Mako Fujimura has a gallery exhibit of his panels commissioned for the 400th Anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible we want to see - plus some other gallery hopping. And then the kids are taking us to the Village Vanguard for a night of NYC jazz at the Mecca of all groove.
I am grateful for the blessings that are shaking in my life... more after the weekend.

{Tom Waits voice} Play the gig, man!
I didn't actually write the French lyrics--I found them on-line. Others have sung it in French before me! And it sounds so much better in French. Doesn't everything?
Tous, c'est de meilleur gout en francais, aussi!
