Last night we drove into Johnson City for dinner and entertainment. We left home at 1800 and returned today.
Dinner was Japanese food at Miso Teriyaki. We had soup at our places within 2 minutes of sitting down to dine. Bento boxes and sushi provided an excellent dinner. Every time we have eaten at this restaurant, it has been prior to a concert. The location is convenient to the path we take to hear acoustic music. Coupled with excellent service and a fast kitchen, it has become an easy choice.
Entertainment was “Disappear Fear,” Gloria’s somehow cousins from Baltimore, Sonia and Cindi Rutstein. Sonia has just published a new CD, “Get Your Phil.” She covers an album’s worth of Phil Ochs’ songs very well. Last night was a release concert, one of three that have been scheduled with both sisters performing together again. The new album and others can be heard at the website linked below.
We didn’t leave The Down Home until after 2400 and we’re still awake at 0200. Gloria had a great time meeting Cindi, exploring family ties with both Sonia and Cindi. I was more of a seat holder than anything else. The parts of the night’s performance I could hear were excellent. But unfortunately those parts were too many, too frequent, and sadly, all too likely to become the norm.
Slept in until 0730 today. Getting older hurts.
