    And it’s the last 2011 summer concert at Hiawatha, Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs at 7pm, right?

      Yes. Separate item coming up on that, but I should have had a line in the roundup too.

    My wife just e-mailed me about the Jay Leonhart performance at Kenyon Hall. I missed it when I checked the blog previously, but her e-mail jogged my memory. I have a Jay Leonhart CD from about 20 years ago. Leonhart is terrific. If you like low-key jazz and intelligent, witty lyrics then his Kenyon Hall performance is an opportunity not to be missed. And at $10-14 an incredible bargain.

    I was going to head over to Hiawatha for Star Anna, but the opportunity to see Leonhart is too good an opportunity to be missed.
