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. |

Fringe Hosts Rock That Uke: An Epic Evening of Tiny Music - July 22, 2008
GREAT BARRINGTON - On Friday July 25 at 9 p.m., get a peek at human nature through a very tiny sound hole. For one night only, The Berkshire Fringe hosts a very special concert and film screening examining the four-stringed underdog of the music world and the mystical allure of the post-punk ukulele scene.
Rock That Uke is a funky, curiously philosophical documentary that examines the mystical allure of the ukulele and the recent surge of alternative musicians who have taken up the instrument and incorporated it into a counter cultural ethos.
Conceived and directed by Bill Robertson with narration by Oscar winning actress Holly Hunter, this acclaimed documentary will be accompanied by an exhilarating concert of live music by Uke players from across the globe. Featured performers include: Sweet Soubrette, Bedroom Community, Oliver Brown and Alan Drogan.
Rock That Uke is part of the 2008 Berkshire Fringe based in the Daniel Arts Center at Simon's Rock. 84 Alford Road in Great Barrington. Tickets for film/concert event are $12. For more information and a complete season schedule, please visit visit www.berkshirefringe.org or call 413-320-4175 |
