The 1st set will be Professor Demeritus a.k.a. Herb Robb. We are sorry to inform you that, back despite popular protestations, the infamous and most unwelcomed rambling ranter Professor Demeritus will expound on that community institution known as government and on other features of today’s society.
The 2nd set will be the Cabaret Duo Jennie Litt (singer, lyricist) and David Alpher (pianist, composer). Jennie and David perform People’s Cabaret, a witty and loving musical history lesson celebrating 20th-century leftist culture through its inspiring, zesty, and often humorous legacy of song. The usual suspects—Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, The People’s Songbook, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”—make well-deserved appearances, alongside some rather more unexpected offerings: the classically-informed anti-Fascist musings of Bertolt Brecht and Hanns Eisler; a salty ragtime tribute to the Russian revolution from The Ziegfeld Follies of 1919; Dave Frishberg satirizing yuppie culture in jazz; a sock-in-the-gut antiwar folk-song medley; and a typically satirical Alpher/Litt original or two. You can contact them at160 Kripplebush Rd. • Stone Ridge, NY 12484 or (845) 687-8949 or jlitt1@hvc.rr.com
