Got some great ideas for dog seperation anxiety including stay the night at the dog's new digs, bring a picture, bring his blanket, take an article of clothing, his favorite toys, etc. and a great suggestion--DON'T WORRY! IT'S A VACATION, HE'LL SURVIVE, GO HAVE A GOOD TIME!
Some people asked about Art Garfunkel at the Paramount in Peekskill last week. It started off HORRIBLY with a pathetic version of "El Condor Pasa" where Art walked off the stage, then returned and after the song implored someone to "close the doors; it's too distracting."
He got better as the show went on, but there were some missteps, "Sound of Silence" and "Mrs. Robinson" being major ones. Highlights for me were "For Emily", "Kathy's Song", and a smokin' "Cecelia". Also a cut from Art's underrappreciated 2003 album "Everything Waits To Be Noticed" was exquisite, as was a cover of Billy Joel's "And So It Goes". Didn't love "I Remember You" and another standard from his most recent standards album; "All I Know" was awright, but NO "I Only Have Eyes For You"??? Shocking! "Bridge Over Troubled Water" brought unexpected misty eyes for me cuz I never liked the song as a kid, but he sang it GREAT, opting not to sing the high notes. In fact, many of his songs could've benefitted from some backing vocals which were sparse at best.
I thought he LOOKED good for --gasp, i just looked it up--67! But Alice in the front row said he looked old. 67???? He has a 3 year old son, he said. oy. A caller said today, be thankful our musical faves are still around. But shouldn't they know when it's time to retire? All in all, I'm glad I went; when he shone, he shone brightly, just not often enough.
