My second Hudson Valley event will be a presentation at Bard — part book lecture, part onstage Q&A, with plenty of musical illustration — in the Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium. I’m really looking forward to this one. It’s free and open to the public, so please come by!

Copies of Playing Changes will be available thanks to Oblong Books, an excellent indie bookseller in Rhinebeck.

Special thanks to Pete L’Official and the American Studies Program, which is co-presenting this event with the Africana Studies Program, the Division of Languages and Literature, and the Ethnomusicology Program.
