Music


And while I am on the topic of events, there seems to be events, events, and more events going on. And Brazilian Girls, that really cool awesome band, has an album titled "New York City" that is to be found now. And I know because their website says so. And it seems to be a Nublu, Zebulon, and The Himalayas family and friends event with artists like Baaba Maal,Clark Gayton,Michael Irwin,Doug Wieselman,Kenny Wollesen,Didi Gutman,Richard Marriott,Mauro Refosco,Mike Williams,Aaron Johnston,Sabina Sciubba,Steven Bernstein,Byron Isaacs,Jesse Murphy,Héctor Castillo,Daniel Jodocy,Jennifer Harris,Jonathon Haffner,Dalius Naujo, William Paden Hensley, Chris Athens,Hollis King,Kenji Shimoda,Dahlia Ambach Caplin, Héctor Castillo,Dan Bora,Michael Trepagnier,Adam Thompson,Anne Metz, and Petar Timotic. And this Album rocks.

And there are even more events going on this weekend and beyond in that City of New York, and here is an email I received with one of them:
