By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn I remember seeing David Berkeley when he played at Unplugged in the Park a few years ago, and being mesmerized…Now normally I am not the biggest fan of whimsical singer/songwriters, but there was just something different about David.

It’s a pretty quiet weekend as the city – nay, the world – struggles to come to terms with a new year and the end of the holidays, and possibly the tail-end of a New Year’s Eve hangover. So, much of what we have to recommend for this weekend is more on the quiet side, […]
By Eileen Tilson/ @tktalt_tn In the past few days, two people, one close to me and one stranger, both my age passed unexpectedly.
