New York Is My Home. The collection, which was produced by
Conan bandleader
Jimmy Vivino, features a duet with Paul Simon on the album s title track. Plans are currently in the works for a jukebox musical based on his life.
Dion told us that the deeper he got into discovering music as a kid, the more similarities he found there to be among various genres:

It just seems that country music was in a major key and blues was in a minor key. Pretty much the same three chords, but only major and minor.”

Hear Tracy Briggs narrate this story:

The husband and I took our first road trip since last March. I hadnât seen my sister and brother-in-law since the pandemic entered our lives. I wish she lived in a nice warm place, but no, they live in Iowa.

Last week there wasnât much going on, or so I thought.
The Surf Ballroom is about five blocks from my sisterâs home. It is Clear Lakesâ biggest tourist attraction that, until last year, went gangbusters. Its claim to fame: the last place Buddy Holly played on Feb. 3, 1959, the day he died.

The Reif Arts Council is announcing a jam-packed line-up of entertainment as part of their summer/fall 2021 seasonânot an easy feat on the heels of a global pandemic.Â

Our end goal has always been to formally announce a schedule of upcoming shows featuring local and national acts, and then execute that schedule like we did before the pandemic. Weâve finally made it to that point and are so happ
