• Friday November 22, 7 - 9:30 pm: Ed Trickett in concert
  

  Ed is known as a "song interpeter". He looks for the hidden truths in songs, and sings them to us in a manner that gives us a new meaning to old songs. Usually playing guitar, and singing in a very gentle manner, Ed is also an accomplished piano player. He doesn't consider himself as a "professional" musician, but he is indeed a professional in every sense of the word. The songs he has recorded alone, with Anne Mayo Muir and Gordon Bok, and with other artists are some of the most beautiful ever recorded. Upper West Side location. Reservations essential, contact Heather: hwood50 (at) aol.com or 646-628-4604. Contribution: General public $25; members $20.
