*Just one bit of news this week, and it’s wonderful for GREG BROWN fans. After waiting for at least two years for the Midwesterner to return to Connecticut, an email came in this week that announced Brown will be at The Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport next September. Yes it’s a long wait, but it’s something to look forward to.

In the meantime, start enjoying the chaos that is about to fully kick in around the holiday season and until next week I’ll be seeing you… on the road.
