CD Reviews, Dr. Bob
To say I like Brian J. Cline’s music (www.brianjaycline.com) is like saying I like three meals a day. It’s obvious. After all, I’ve been listening to him perform live for the past three years at Luna Star and Your Big Picture Cafe, and his performances always please. Recently, he gave me a copy of his […]

From Dr. Bob This past week saw many changes in the folk and acoustic music scene. Glenn Allen’s open mic at Ye Old Falcon Pub, one of my personal favorites, has ended. Open mics are very personal ventures as those of us who have started one know. I personally started two last year, both of […]

Labyrinth Cafe
Saturday evening was the reason all of you who host venues, home concerts, song swaps, etc., do what you do. And I thank you for it. Danny Schmidt and Carrie Elkin were the reason we’re blessed with evenings like we were able to experience last night. Thanks to them, Susan M, all the volunteers at the Labyrinth Cafe, and […]

Boumel House Concerts, House Concert Reviews
Tropical house concerts are special. On the back patio, undercover, but surrounded by the palm foliage of the Springs, a fortunate group of listeners were treated to the talents of a ‘local’ troubadour. Though Jack Williams often speaks about his less than stellar early experiences living (3 times) in South Florida, he has come to […]

The Labyrinth Cafe this past Saturday with Jennings and Keller & Doug and Telisha Williams was a fine, fine night of music. Laurie and Dana brought us the gifts of a whole bunch of new songs wrapped around their stellar voices and music. There was enough for a good part of a new CD; it’ll […]

Labyrinth Cafe
You’re right, Nancy, it was beautiful evening. A grand end to the season. Nick Annis. What a wordsmith! We’d laugh & look inside & hear words of love, mingling them all together. He joked he was ‘opening for Michael Smith twice in one day.” Maybe. But he was also closing the deal on how good […]

Labyrinth Cafe
OK. Next time, we’ll pack a couple folding chairs in the trunk, just in case. Full house. After missing last month’s raved-about John Gorka show, here was another opportunity for watching the Labyrinth Cafe sell out of brownies – early. It was a crowded room, filled with expectation and anticipation and, ultimately, afterglow. A great […]
