More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center presents Daryl Hall on Sunday, July 6 at 7pm. Daryl Hall got his start as a teenager with such artists as Smokey Robinson and the Temptations. In the 1970's, he became half of the legendary Hall & Oates duo that have now sold over 60 million albums.
Daryl Hall and John Oates' #1 hit singles include: "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Maneater", "Private Eyes", "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)", "Sara Smile", "She's Gone", and "One on One,". "Daryl Hall again proved he is one of the great soul singers of his generation." Chis Rizik of Soul Tracks. Tickets: $70 limited available Preferred Seating/$55/$50 Mahaiwe Members MPAC Box Office: 413-528-0100. Online: www.mahaiwe.org
Signed to Atlantic by Ahmet Ertegun and managed by Tommy Mottola in the early 1970's, Hall & Oates have sold more albums than any other duo in music history. Their 1973 debut album, Abandoned Luncheonette, produced by Arif Mardin, yielded the Top 10 single, "She's Gone" which also went to #1 on the R&B charts when it was covered by Tavares. The duo recorded one more album with Atlantic, War Babies (produced by Todd Rundgren), before they were signed to RCA. During their tenure at RCA the duo catapulted to international superstardom.
From the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, the duo would score six #1 singles, from their six consecutive multi-platinum albums: Bigger Than Both of Us (1976), '80's Voices (1980), Private Eyes (1981), H2O (1982), Rock N Soul, Part I (1983) and Big Bam Boom (1984). The era would also produce an additional five Top 10 singles, "Sara Smile," "One on One," "You Make My Dreams," "Say It Isn't So" and "Method of Modern Love."
BMI saluted duo Daryl Hall & John Oates as BMI Icons at its 56th annual Pop Awards on Tuesday, May 20, 2008. The event featured a stirring musical tribute to Daryl and John as they were recognized for their "influence on generations of music makers."
Solo projects: In 1985, Daryl Hall participated in the historic We Are the World session as well as closing the Live Aid show in Philadelphia. He also made an album with Dave Stewart that year, Three Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine. He has recorded such solo works as Soul Alone in 1993 and Can't Stop Dreaming in 2003. “It was just one of those light bulb moments..." says Daryl describing the idea of Live from Daryl's House, a monthly Internet webcast featuring him playing along with some of his friends and colleagues in an intimate setting. The current episode, from London, features British singer/songwriter Nick Lowe.
Local roots! Daryl is also a restorer and preserver of historic homes in both the United States and England. Hall is currently restoring two homes; one built in 1771 the other in 1780, both now located on the same property in Dutchess County, New York. After he moved them together, he discovered both homes, by coincidence, were connected to the same family. |
