All It Takes Is [Four] Voice(s) …

I’ve been feeling awfully musical lately. I blame it on my Welsh blood — the Welsh are great singers! This is rare Woodstock footage of CSNY singing one of my all time favorite songs, Helplessly Hoping. The second half is Long Time Gone, which is okay, but not as good (for me) as the other. … Continue reading »

Baby, Come Back …

Cain Park, of which I have posted before, hosted a free concert by the Glenn Miller Orchestra this past Sunday afternoon.  We went with my mother-in-law, who loves Big Band music.  I do, too. It was a beautiful day, the kind you wish you could bottle up for use in February, when even those of … Continue reading »

If you’re not from the area (or if you are and haven’t been there), Cain Park is a charming little venue in the middle of Cleveland Heights with recreational facilities and two stages for concerts and plays.  The Evans … Continue reading »
