Live music tonight with the Gray Sky Girls

8:00 p.m. - Valerie Richardson A studio appearance by the bluegrass duo the Gray Sky Girls out of Northampton, Massachusetts. The Gray Sky Girls are Naomi Sommers and Lisa Bastoni, two songwriters who teamed up after meeting in a small punk rock dive bar in Somerville, MA in 2004. As writers, both are heavily influenced by the traditional music they grew up with. As Gray Sky Girls, they pay tribute to their favorite bluegrass, folk and early country songs while weaving in their own original and complementary material. The Gray Sky Girls accompany themselves on guitar, banjo and mandolin--but the real focus is the honey-sweet, close-harmony singing they both clearly enjoy.

From the web site: “We have met the enemy—and it's our own PR machine... Repeatedly, when faced with predictions of problems, policy makers dismissed the warnings of Iraq experts, choosing instead to promulgate their own version of the war through conservative media outlets and PR campaigns... [They're] still doing it—as the people who sold us the war in Iraq are now trying to sell an expansion into Syria and Iran.” url: http://www.prwatch.org/tbwe/index.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- time: 11:30 AM message: 11:30AM Maureen Petrosky author of “The Wine Club” (rescheduled from October 14th).

From the publisher of the English translation: “A renewable energy leader two decades ago, the US now lags behind Germany and Japan. “Energy Switch” pays special attention to Europe's success, especially that of Germany, exploring what can be learned from their experience. It asks whether a mix of renewables is feasible as a major source of energy, at what cost, with what drawbacks, and in what time period.” url: http://www.newsociety.com/bookid/3919 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- time: 12:30 PM message: Carlene Cross “Fleeing Fundamentalism”. The smarmy underbelly of organized US Fundamentalist religions, seldom reported, is exposed in this courageous memoir. From her web site: “Carlene looks back at her life and marriage to a charismatic young man who appeared destined for greatness as a minister within the Fundamentalist church. Alongside the personal story, she examines the history and tactics of today’s Religious Right. But in the end, she sets out to make peace with her past in a story of escape, survival and forgiveness.” url: http://www.carlenecross.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ime: 1:00 PM message: Katherine Gibson the author of “Pause” is a life-management expert and best-selling author.
