Sights, Sounds & Surprises!

Welcome!


My previous web log is the stuff of memory, since my hard drive crashed in late December.  I have the raw material, of course, but since it contained the tracks of my tears in the lead-up to and the aftermath of Dad’s death over two years ago, the obvious sign to me:  MOVE ON!

So, here’s my new one, to which I will post whenever the spirit moves me!







SEE
OH OH OH!!!  You gotta get your tickets NOW for this!!! I can’t wait to see the remounting (?!) of Charles Busch’s Divine Sister!!!  With the ultra-divine Julie Halston!  I missed the short run in the spring, but won’t dare miss it this time. 

And don’t miss FELA!  If one is dyslexic, one still won’t miss by seeing anything at the FLEA! this summer.  Innovative and original.http://www.DivineSisterOnstage.comhttp://www.DivineSisterOnstage.comshapeimage_8_link_0shapeimage_8_link_1


DO
Go to iTunes and download Mark Berman’s The Genesis Project, or buy a hard copy at CD Baby. If you are feeling helpless to aid in the crisis in the Gulf, this music will inspire you to act, and it will definitely make you feel GREAT! http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/mark-berman/id31831255?ign-mpt=uo%3D4http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/mark-berman/id31831255?ign-mpt=uo%3D4http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/mark-berman/id31831255?ign-mpt=uo%3D4http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/mark-berman/id31831255?ign-mpt=uo%3D4http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/markberman/shapeimage_9_link_0shapeimage_9_link_1shapeimage_9_link_2shapeimage_9_link_3shapeimage_9_link_4


CHECK OUT
I am loving listening to the great Bobby McFerrin’s latest wonder, VOCAbuLarieS. Brilliant. Lyricist Don Rosler is featured on several awesome cuts. Keep your eye out for his original CD out soon: Rosler’s Recording Booth!  

I just listened again to Take 6 sing “Just In Time.” You can hear this a thousand times and always hear something new.  These guys are geniuses.  An amazing ensemble, virtuosic.  And LIVE?!  Ouch!!!  Crazy!!!http://www.donrosler.comhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExQt_UIdeQEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExQt_UIdeQEshapeimage_10_link_0shapeimage_10_link_1shapeimage_10_link_2


SUNDRY
Keep eyes out for Mark Berman’s power trio album, coming soon!  Originals and standards served up hot and tasty, with Berman on vocals too!http://markbermanmusic.com/Welcome.htmlshapeimage_11_link_0

Isabel’s Extra
Some time ago, I and a group of wonderful artists spent a few days in a room together singing the gorgeous music of Duncan Sheik and reading the beautiful and funny script of Steven Sater for their adaptation of the fairy tale The Nightingale.  It got me thinking a lot about the nature of regret, and choices we make in life.  Ample food for thought: I would wish ultimately to be able to rightly say “Je ne regrette rien.”    http://www.duncansheik.com/home/http://www.stevensater.net/http://www.stevensater.net/shapeimage_16_link_0shapeimage_16_link_1shapeimage_16_link_2
