Cheers to the bumblebees!

Perhaps the hardest workers of summertime, have you had a moment of noticing just how marvelous bumblebees really are? Even Einstein had a theory about our inability to survive without their ongoing mission of pollination.

I'm a novice at gardening, and this summer, the Nasturtium (planted for the first time) has been abundant. Beautiful, colorful flowers that are edible and have a peppery taste, you can even make a pesto with them!


Some famous acknowledgement of bees...

"I'll be floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee."
~Muhammad Ali

"Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway."
~Mary Kay Ash

"Bee to the blossom, moth to the flame;
Each to his passion, what's in a name?"
~ Helen Hunt Jackson


Friday night in our Hudson Valley Artist Spotlight, we heard Laurie MacAllister sing the Leonard Cohen song, Famous Blue Raincoat. You can find it, along with a captivating collection of cover songs on her album, The Things I Choose To Do.

Hear Laurie live at The Peekskill Coffee House this Friday night, September 4th @ 8pm,
with back up from her pal Steve Kirkman. Learn more about Laurie and find out where she's performing solo, or with Red Molly here.

This weekend zipped by like a bumblebee, and I'm looking forward to playing a song for you tonight that's been buzzing in my brain for months...



Meet you for Night Rhythms at 7,
