WQXR did a tribute to Brooklyn Saturday evening. I tuned in, even though I’m a Manhattanite. But I have been to Brooklyn. The WQXR program referenced Bargemusic—I’ve been there, I’ve rocked and rolled, and I’ve written about it.
I’ve heard Brooklynite Simone Dinnerstein in person (Columbia campus). WQXR referenced Brooklyn Rider and The Knights. I have definitely heard The Knights, but only in Manhattan—Naumburg concerts in Central Park. I’ve also attended Concerts on the Slope in Brooklyn, (I hope they survive the pandemic).
Anyhoo, WQXR had a broadcast that included re-broadcasts of live recordings. I even attended some of them. It was a real treat to hear live performances with a live audience, applauding live.
When we’re back to normal, I highly recommend weekend Bargemusic
concerts and Naumburg concerts. And any other live music you can hear.
