Vacation checklist...

...includes: don't forget to blog! Hope your summer is sailing along just as you hoped it would. Friday night in our Night Rhythms Live Beat our WHUD airwaves were graced by the captivating harmony and synergistic guitar sounds of the duo, Open Book. Michele and Rick performed three songs for us, including a new song: Sounds Like Rain,

Indiana from their album

and Don't Try So Hard, also a recently written song. Open Book will be live at The Peekskill Coffee House this Sunday, August 2nd @ 1pm with their friends from The Veltz Family. Hear more Open Book music here.

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon at Caramoor in Katonah, thanks to everyone who stopped by to see us. : ) If you haven't visited the enchanting gardens there, do add it to your list of things to see in Westchester. A wonderful schedule of music through the fall, in a divine setting.

What better way to kick off a vacation than with live music?

My thanks to Lisa and everyone at the SPCA of Westchester for a sensational night of music at the Rosenthal JCC in Pleasantville Saturday night. A memorable performance from Dave Bickler, and the Saw Mill Summer Theatre Group truly ROCKS! They had us singing along to a fabulous repertoire of songs arranged in a way that would make the likes of Gladys Knight, The Rolling Stones, Rush and Peter Gabriel proud. If you're considering welcoming unconditional *love* into your home or can donate to their work, click here.

Have a blissful week and I look forward to playing songs for you on 8/3!

Sail with music,

Catherine
