Click on Title to PlayWednesday's concert at Everett Café, Teachers College, will probably be our last concert for the summer. Looking forward to the fall for more Teachers College gigs and beyond. Dan and I have been performing "House of the Rising Sun" for a few years now. As a trio, with Professor Daniel Wolf Savin on stand-up bass, the song had a great feel. But when we went back to being a duo, the song didn't seem to pack the same decadent punch. Now with the harmonica and a new key (F#m), the song carries full the weight of guilt, sin, and punishment. I'm looking forward to playing it again. That and murder are running themes in our set. Makes for a fun musical evening. The other new number was "In Dreams," an old number brought back into the set with more life and energy. Unrequited love. Another theme.We're usually scheduled to play for an hour. In our previous gig at Everett Café, we had to cut out a few numbers so we wouldn't go over the time limit. Yesterday, though, we played the full set. We had

Click on the title and you'll hear out GBGM Youth Concert from April 9th.This was a last minute gig to keep us sharp.Jesus Christ is always a rockin tune. This is the U2 version of Woody's great song.What's so Funny (About Peace Love and Understanding) is always a crowdpleaser.To think this song is 30 years old and we heard it in high school.

Very first podcast. Test run for Move it on Over from the Purim concert.We were scheduled to play Teachers College on February 10th, 2010. Due to the big snowstorm, that gig was canceled.Needing to stay sharp, Dan got us this gig at the YMHA in Washington Heights.We had a great time playing for the parents even though it was supposed to be a kids concert.Here is our first shot at podcasting.We played in a room that's usually used for dancing and exercise. That's probably why the sound is so "hot". The music is bouncing off the walls and mirrors creating that hot sound.For you techies, the sound is the audio feed from the video camera. Yes, there is a video of this. That's for the Aria Anthology Video Volume 27.
