Two Week Edition
Week of August 21 - September 3
Saw part of a Judy Collins TV interview in which she was asked if, at 78, she has any plans to retire and I loved her answer: "Oh, no, it isn't part of my repertoire, I am an artist and artists don't retire." On Friday she joins her ex-boyfriend, Stephen Stills, for a concert at Saban Theatre, and an upcoming album collaboration, which has blossomed into a national tour, owing to the excitement this show has generated. This is the first time they have shared a concert stage and I am so very happy I bought a ticket so long ago.
