So the program began in sorrow, segued to laughter, love and politics, then closed with an entertaining live, in-studio and on CD, concert and back-and-forth with Claudia and her traveling accompanist, The Other Bruce Kaplan, bringing with them a cherished memento of her Dad scatting "Sweet Sue" with his swing band, the Radio Rhythm Rascals (see her record label). They had been seriously delayed navigating thro NYC from Connecticut and then I-80 across the dreaded NJ, but got here in time to play a little music for the Poconos, on their way down to Otto Bost's show in Bethlehem, and finished up Roots & Wings with a sweet song of mourning, this time around for Al. I'd like to think he was listening in from 'way up yonder.
