I've sprung forward, now what?....

I didn't make Holly Golightly at Cafe Nine last night.....couldn't, didn't go.

Sarah Borges' favorite mandolin player (mandolinist), Jimmy Ryan, gets a nice mention in today's NY Times (here) in a article about Charlie Louvin at the Gramercy Theater: "Laura Cantrell, who was born in Nashville but has long lived in New York City, opened the concert. With a serene, piping voice reminiscent of Emmylou Harris’s, Ms. Cantrell moves between thoughtful alt- country Americana and old-time country. She had a string band — including a left-handed mandolinist, Jimmy Ryan, who so impressed Mr. Louvin that he was invited to sit in."

Speaking of Ms. Borges (and her Broken Singles), the new album is called Diamonds in the Darkness and is due out on Sugar Hill Records June 12.
