Another fine night of music

This past Friday, my ghost hunting friends and I were once more entertained by the Eric Marley Jazz Trio. These young men are unbelievably talented and offered the crowd a wide range of good jazz tunes. The Quarter Note Cafe has become a favorite for my friends and I and you should check it out, I'm sure you'll be impressed with the weekly performers and the always smiling and helpful staff, Gary Rooney.

Quarter Note Cafe

     Last week, due to a bad case of bronchitis and sinus infection, I missed the entertainment at the Quarter Note Cafe. This week, I'm on another adventure with the grandsons and will miss another entertaining Friday at the Cafe, but you can still make the show. This week's show is Subito Sounds, featuring students from the Camden School of the Arts. It starts at 7 and ends at 9.

     I'll be posting part four of Lilith's Escape from my flash fiction this Saturday. Let me know if you like where this story is going.

     Have a great weekend, be good, be kind, and be ready for that Zombie Apocalypse.

Another night of great music

      My followers are normally offered a story about my adventures with the grandkids and our love of zombies or about the many things I find myself involved in, but I had so much fun last night, I needed to blog about the Quarter Note Cafe, located at 57 E. Kings Highway, once again.

     We were entertained by Bill Corvino & Friends. Bill is a guitar instructor with the Conservatory of Musical Arts, which is located next door to the cafe. The trio included Bill Corvino on guitar, Kelli Campbell a vocalist, with the voice of an angel, and Christopher Davis-Shannon who played bass.

    The place was crowded and people were treated to a collection of tunes mostly the Blues, along with a few requests from the audience. Ms. Campbell had us mesmerized with some of the Billie Holiday songs she belted out. I hope to see this trio again at the Quarter Note Cafe, but they also appear at the Triumph Brewing Company located in Philadelphia on 2nd and Chestnut, every Tuesdays, except for this Valentine's Day.

     Our little town of Audubon is becoming a hot spot for some mighty good entertainment, with the Quarter Note Cafe on Fridays, the Tree house on Wednesday, and the Auction house, also on Wednesdays. Please check out Quarter Note Cafe on facebook and come in to visit. You often find the owner Pat Kenny or his assistant Gary Rooney there and they go out of their way to make their customers feel right at home.

     Here are two pictures which show the Bill Corvinio trio and yours truly with her ghost hunting buddies.

A good night out and great music

     There is a little cafe in Audubon, New Jersey and this friendly place has been hosting some great music. The Quarter Note Cafe, located at 57 E. Kings Highway and next to the brand new Conservatory of Musical Arts is making a name for itself with the excellent performers featured most Friday nights, starting at 7 p.m.

     This past Friday, my ghost hunter friends and I had the opportunity to hear the Erik Marley Jazz Trio play, and what a delightful night we had. The trio consisted of Teo Ortiz on sax, Erik Marley on drums, and Victor Caraballo on bass.These young men kept us entertained with their repertoire of old and new songs. They played so well, I felt like I was back at the Preservation Hall in New Orleans. I hope to see them featured again at this cafe.

     Also check out Mike Walton, a great singer and songwriter, who performs at the Quarter Note Cafe and  check out the Facebook page for The Conservatory of Musical Arts in Audubon. On top of the great entertainment and food, the staff is friendly and welcoming.

My next blog will be an interview with the amazing writer Fran Metzman on her collection of stories in The Hungry Heart
