Music

Concert notes, set lists and personal impressions fill this category. From the dreamy Americana of Lord Huron to Coldplay’s stadium spectacle and intimate performances at the Dakota jazz club, I share what moved me in the moment.

Kicking off our family New Year’s Eve with a French 75 and getting the fondue started! 🥂 Sinatra, Brubeck, and the New Standards are on shuffle. 🎶

Fondue is our tradition for New Year’s Eve. Cheese Fondue to start.

Then the Tenderloin fondue.

We also play Clue every New Year’s Eve. This year Mazie won!

Two French 75 cocktails in tall flute glasses beside a La Marca Prosecco bottle, Fever-Tree ginger ale, limes, lemon, a jigger, and a cocktail shaker on a white marble counter with a lit Christmas Cuisinart electric fondue pot filled with melted cheese on a colorful table, with bread cubes in a green bowl and sliced apples nearby Cuisinart electric fondue pot with hot oil and six fondue forks with colorful handles arranged around the rim, seen from above Clue board game in progress with character figurines on the board and a filled-in detective notepad in the foreground near the Conservatory space.
