Bravo! Congratulations to the Class of 2010!

It was kind of an emotional week we've had with song dedications...hearing the pride & love in the voices of parents celebrating their graduates...excitement from our young friends who took their last bus ride of the school year and arrived at summer vacation... LI friends rallying around Joan in Sunnyside whose son was deployed to Afghanistan--Godpseed in your mission, Matt & THANK YOU for bravely serving our country! Every generation is handed the wheel of the ship of the future and expected to sail it carefully past familiar and uncharted territory. Does this time of year take you back to when you first set out on the water?
Happy sailing to the Class of 2010, may you arrive at every port o' call you dream of. : )
This photo is from one of my favorite spots in the world--South Cove in Battery Park City--where public art is in abundance. So is the sunshine.

This week in our Hudson Valley Artist Spotlight James and Alan of the band Solar Punch fascinated us with how they power their live shows with the help of our Sun! We heard the song Let The Sun Shine On Us from their album titled Surya.

When you open the CD, you find the words: The journey is in the music. The solution is in the action. Surya is a collection of songs dedicated to a Climate Solutions Road Tour they were part of in India in 2009. Solar Punch's songs are rockin' to listen to, and remind us to be conscious of how we consume and view the resources of our planet. They celebrate the many benefits of the big star in the center of our solar system and you can check out a solar powered Solar Punch show @ the White Plains Clean & Green on Saturday, July 17th from 11-3. Hear music, learn about their environmental work and find out where you can experience one of their solar powered shows at their web home.


We also caught up with Anna Nyakana who is part of an Idol-like singing competition that airs this weekend for our CT friends. Please visit her site, tune in for her performance and cast your vote to help her win.

What's sweeter than Cream's spin on the sun?

Happy Summer!
