MUSIC
Of the many options available, we chose two different gigs on Saturday, August 10th:
August 10: At 1:30 pm, Lincoln Center Out of Doors Presents The 30th Annual Roots of American Music: Martha Redbone Roots Project, Trixie Whitley and Hurray for the Riff Raff. I’m not only recommending this because some of the bands have a banjo – Ms. Redbone sets William Blake poems to music!!
August 10: THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS and MOON HOOCH (sax/clarinet/drums trio, and former subway platform performers!), 7:30 pm at Prospect Park’s Bandshell in Brooklyn.
SUMMER STREETS WALKING TOUR
August 10: Theatrical Walking Tour: The Great Struggle for Cheap Meat is a musical in the streets based on the 1903 Kosher Meat Boycott, led by Lower East Side housewives.

The performance starts at 11:00 am and admission is free, but advanced registration is required.
