Spring on the way. Events too...


Squirrels are afoot - or a fliying depending on where you look. I snapped this one at Town Park during our second offical walk for the season - since the Bloomsburg Fair. It's nice to get some fresh air.

Cultural Events, Music, Bengali New Year...

Another snow storm has descended upon us, and I hear another is on the way. Hope you are all safe and sound. We've been staying rather close to home for the most part. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy gave a great show last week at BU. The weekend before that I ventured a little further out to Paper Kite Press Studio & Gallery in Kingston to see Urbano's Circus, a wonderful (if bizarre) theatrical/art performance. Just more evidence of a rich pool of artistry in our area.

Planning with the Bengal Assoc of Bloomsburg Area (BABA) for Bengali New Year is under way. Sunday, May 18 is the date, so mark your calendars. It will be in the usual location (Town Park Bloomsburg) and the lineup is being determined, but likely to be a mix of what folks have come to love as well as some new offerings. Those who may be interested in participating or helping out can visit www.babaweb.org for more info or contact me.

My 2007 release "Catch the Squirrel" was in George Graham's top 50 CD releases for 2007 - thanks George! I found this out only after 2008 arrived and though I do not follow accolades that closely, it was nice to see some recognition.

Later this week I will take some time to resurrect Thaylon Singh (my Second Life persona). On Friday, February 29, 2008 he/we will perform at Kaiya Islands from 3:30 - 4:00 SLT (6:30 EST).

You know how they say it's the quiet ones you have to watch? I guess that is even more true to librarians. Professor Ackult
(aka our close friend, and mild-mannered librarian Michael Kattner) is breaking out on his own with a unique act unlike anything we have seen lately. Check out his site http://www.simplyhomebrew.com/sideshow When he's not eating fire, he's also a good wine maker. Check out his home brew shop on the same site.
