Chag Pesach Sameach. 💙💙💙. Unfortunately plagues of injustice still blight the land, thus “ it is not your duty to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.” - Rabbi Tarfon. He lived ~46 CE - 117 CE and his words are true today as they were then. #pesach

I watched Dark Shadows every day after school. Several few years ago, I had the opportunity to tour Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, New York, which was used for the exteriors.

I live in the same - smallish - town as her (Santa Fe) - she truly lights up any space she visits here. And she advocates for so many wonderful programs and events (animal rescues, international folk art market, the city itself).

A lovely introduction to an inspirational teacher. Most of us have been blessed to learn life lessons from similar educators, but Jay seems a class above. Thank you so much for sharing this memory.

I saw Seals & Crofts in concert as the Florida State University (FSU) homecoming concert in Tallahassee in the mid-1970s. I'm pretty sure I still have the ticket in one of my scrapbooks. 1974? 1975?

I saw Allan Sherman in concert in Atlantic City, early 1960s when I was little. My parents had his album My Son, The Folk Singer, I played it endlessly, sang along, marching around the coffee table. He was a genius.

I never heard a lyric or note. Insanely loud, sound system distorted everything, sounded like a wall of mud. Many walked out.

I saw James Taylor in concert in the 1980s.
My favorite of his songs -- and I think it's his best -- is an early one, and not one of his more famous ones, but it's absolutely gorgeous.
