1. It has been four months since my last entry on those wonderful birds of Central Park. If anyone read this blog, those people might wonder what I have been doing. It is true there is never a dull moment. Boredom truly is "trapped awareness".
Last night Coleen and I went to see the David Byrne and St. Vincent concert at Cuthbert park. David is the singer for the Talking Heads. I never was a huge fan growing up, since I think I missed the pinnacle of their fame. I have been more interested in his solo efforts, especially his collaborations with Brian Eno. He was a true stage performer. His dances seem inspired by the modern greats, ala Merce Cunningham and Martha Graham. Coleen and I both speculated how hold he is (61) and we looked up his info when we got home. I am adding his journal to my bookmarks. If ever I was funded through American television I would love to do an adventure across the United States shopping at Ma's and Pa's on Main St.. Since this tour began, Mr. Bryne takes us on an adventure through the backstreets and cross-sections of strange territory.
Here is his link:

Needless to say, the concert was fabulous. St. Vincent is astonishing and is creating some of the best music out there currently. She summed up her experience of Mr. Byrne by describing him as someone who has brought more joy to this world since his birth and that is a goal all of us should aspire to. I couldn't agree more.
