yet more free music!

Last night in Damrosch Park, we were treated to 

a performance by Toshi Reagon's band, BIG Lovely.

This is her mom, Bernice Johnson Reagon,

cofounder of Sweet Honey in the Rock, who 

sang with her (big thrill for me).

The first time ever . . .

. . . I heard Roberta Flack sing the song she's

about to sing (especially for me, it would seem),

I thought it was the most beautiful thing I'd

ever heard.  She sang it tonight at a memorial/tribute

concert for Joel Dorn, the guy who produced her records.

(There will probably be more—it was quite a lineup.)
