Tyrant premiered last night on FX and the show is definitely worth following.  There is a lot of story that will need to be revealed in the upcoming episodes and that story may be too much to support in the future.  The drama already created, however, will not leave anyone disappointed in the meantime.

The Music Corner   Few people get to realize any of their lives’ dreams.  I’m one of the fortunate ones.  My story begins almost a half century ago in the southern New Jersey town of Willingboro, one of many post-war era planned suburban communities of the ‘50s and ‘60s.   As a child and adolescent, […]

  A good friend recently called me to share the news that the Klezmer band in which he plays would be performing at Jewish Heritage Night festivities at an upcoming Philadelphia Phillies’ game.  Subsequently, he contacted me to inform me that he had an extra ticket if I wanted to make the 70+ mile trip […]
