A Black and a Jew Walk Into a...
Hello friends,
When I planned my late summer/early fall, I imagined there would be no performances or mass emails or anything. I'm in the thick of research for my new play, "The Material World," which will have a debut reading on Halloween at the Jewish Community Center of Manhattan. That's pretty far away, but the play is...err....VERY COMPLICATED, and I knew I would need lots of very ascetic, monkish, scholarly time to absorb as much information as possible.
But then two things happened!
1) The Black And The Jew asked me to be on their radio show today! I love The Black And The Jew. They are a married couple. He is "A Jew." She is "A Black." They make performances about their relationship. I haven't heard their radio show, or even seen them for a few years now, but this seemed like a nice opportunity to hang out, especially since I'm not really plugging anything, and don't have any particular reason to be on the radio. I'll be singing songs on my new ukulele! Tune in from 6pm-7pm on the internet at http://nytalkradio.net/
2) My favorite Berliners are coming to town! And so, obviously, we're all playing a show: Thursday, September 3rd, at The Sidewalk Cafe. The line-up is full of beautiful Americans and beautiful Germans: 7:30 Dibs, 8:00 Dan Fishback, 8:30 Susie Asado, 9:30 Andrew Phillip Tipton, 10:00 Nan Turner, 10:30 Horror Me, 11:00 Kat Burns, 11:30 Toby Goodshank, 12:00 Sibsi. No cover, two drink minimum, as always. (94 Avenue A, NYC)
Whenever folks like Sibsi, Susie Asado and Horror Me come to town, I think: "Wow. Maybe one day my grandchildren will be playing folk music shows with kids from Tehran and Baghdad and Pyongyang. It boggles the mind. Anyway, this will be a really lovely show, I think. I'll be playing only new songs. Maybe I'll see you there and we'll make plans to visit Birobidzhan.
Love
Dan
