*Tickets went on sale last Friday for a December 4 show by NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE, which will mark the final date on the group’s first tour together since 2004. The band is touring in support of Americana, their first album in nine years.

General admission floor standing and reserved seating tickets were still available Tuesday afternoon (floor seating had sold out), through TicketMaster. GA standing tickets are $77.50 apiece ($88.10 with taxes and fees), while reserve seats are $57.50-$162.30 ($67.60-$181.30), and can be ordered by calling 800-745-3000 or visiting TicketMaster.com.

*Meanwhile history-breaking (first British group ever to debut at #1 in the US with their debut album release, when Up All Night did that within minutes of its official release on March 13) ONE DIRECTION will return to Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, November 30, following their sold-out show last month at the same venue. (The show had originally been announced for Sunday, December 2, but Mohegan Sun announced the change of date on Wednesday, June 13.)

Tickets for the Winter 2012 show will be on sale Saturday, June 16, at 10 am, though TicketMaster.com, by calling TicketMaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number (800-745-3000), and through TicketMaster outlets. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Sunday at 10 am, subject to availability.

Prices range from $54.50 to $69.50 ($69.55 to $84.90 with fees).

*Here’s hoping next Tuesday’s weather is much better than this past Tuesday’s was, considering June 19 will be opening day for The Farmers’ Market at Fairfield Hills (FM@FFH), née the Sandy Hook Organic Farmers’ Market.

The market will be running this season on Tuesdays from 2 to 6 pm, in the same location as last year — the northern side of Washington Square at Fairfield Hills, off Keating Farms Avenue.

Market mistress Mary Fellows promises “lots of new vendors this year, coming to spread culinary cheer,” and the return of some popular favorites for the market’s tenth anniversary season. The market, a member of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA), will again feature Connecticut grown organic, heirloom vegetables, flowers, baked goods, and lots of shade.

Ms Fellows has also been working on lining up musical entertainment for the market each week, and the second week of the season will feature fingerstyle guitarist Glenn Roth. The solo acoustic fingerstyle guitarist is based in Norwalk. His performances offer a mix of jazz standards, popular, classical, and his own original compositions. His live work can sound like multiple guitars, but it is really just one guy, ten flying fingers, one instrument.

Also on the schedule this year will be the return of Roger Sprung, The Sawtilles, and Monk Rogers from Boston, among others.

The market generally runs until mid-October, depending on crops and weather.

Until next week, I’ll be seeing you… on the road.
