Johnny One Note at the Alqonquin Salon

Sunday I had a terrific day – met with some friends of mine (Julie Reyburn, Adam West Hemming, and Vanessa Parvin) to rehearse for an as-yet-to-be-released project, then headed over to the Algonquin Salon to sing at the open mic. This week was special, for not only was the theme “Richard Rogers’ Neighborhood,” but it was hosted by Rita Gardner, the original Luisa from The Fantastiks. She sang a few songs herself, showing that age does not necessarily mean your vocal and emotional power weaken. She was beautiful!!! I was happy to sing a song I haven’t sung in YEARS…JohnnyContinue readingJohnny One Note at the Alqonquin Salon

Sounds of the Subway – Audioboo.fm & BBC_SOS Save our Sounds!

This morning, bleary-eyed and hungry from having to wake up early in the morning for work, I was greeted by a wonderful voice. It came from Tim Blevens (sp?), an African American man who stood very simply in the walkway tunnel that connected the entrance of the A train station on 190th street off of Broadway to the subway platform area itself. He has a gorgeous low voice, and it echoed through the station. I had to stop, turn around, and ask him his name. He had a NY baseball cap upturned on a plastic crate box, wore black shortsContinue readingSounds of the Subway – Audioboo.fm & BBC_SOS Save our Sounds!

My 20th Park Day School 1989 Reunion is Today!

Here’s a video shot & edited the morning of June 20th, 2009, the 20th year reunion meetup of my Park Day School class of 1989, taking place in the SF Bay Area today! Wanted to put my few cents in and send my love their way. A bit longer than I expected it, but I was singing a lot into the camera. Enjoy!

Museum Mile Festival 06-9-2009!

Another reminder that Pete & I have been in the City of New York more than a year is the Museum Mile Festival, which Pete & I briefly attended in 2008. That day, we only had about 30 minutes to run around the MET Museum of Art and then walked down the closing 5th Avenue. This year, however, I planned on spending at least 2 hours walking around. I had a performance at BMI for an hour (singing the role of Starbuck in a musical version of “Battlestar Galactica” the miniseries, written by Eric March as part of his musicalContinue readingMuseum Mile Festival 06-9-2009!

I’m Frakking Starbuck! (original title: “I’m Fracking Starbuck!”)

Composer Eric March for his final BMI presentation audition yesterday did “Battlestar Galactica: The Musical.” I played Starbuck, which is the type of military athletic role that I don’t usually get to play. If I were in the military, I’d be sitting behind a desk…In any event the “minishow” went very well. I was also able to go to the Museum Mile for a few hours. I’ll post pictures about that evening soon. -Sierra
