Open and shut

Limelight was padded but there was a Limelight Pizza that was open.

Back in the day, this Church was a nightclub. I went there once. It was loud and dancy.


Sunday was the day AFAM closed for “big changes.” I love the Folk Art Museum even if I only visit sporadically. On Saturday, I made a far- thee-well but also wanted to see what was on offer before the renovations shut me out.

The tapestries of Madelena Santos Reinbolt are spectacular. She also painted in a similarly intense and dense style.

My friend CS joined and enjoyed this remarkable exhibit.

The work of Madelena Santos Reinbolt is intricate, colorful and detailed.

Her work is sophisticated and intelligent.

Santos Reinbolt was a Brazilian artist who made her living as a cook.

The AFAM shop, which is a great source for the unusual, will be open for pick-ups.

Rhythmic

Drums are a mystery.

Well, a greater mystery since any musical instrument is beyond my abilities.

Drums were my rumination as I attended the concert by an ensemble the Anderson Twins gathered at Symphony Space. [Mari S Gold will review shortly.]

The drums take the percussive lead, of course, but they whisper subtly when coaxed by a brush.

There is so much less bravado in their rhythms when the drums are brushed rather than beaten.
