It’s winery season again. Time to sit outdoors and sip some of the finest locally made wine made from grapes grown by Hudson Valley farmers.
I love the vino but I still don’t fully understand it. I decided if I was gonna continue writing about Hudson Valley wineries, I should have some idea of what I’m talking about.

Peripherally aware, is probably the best way to describe my knowledge of the TransNdanceNdrum Center. As a frequent visitor of Rosendale’s summer Street Festival, their drummers are prominent part of the festivities. They set up an interactive drumming booth where everyone is invited to play. I stop and listen but there’s always so much more to see, I considered them part of the festival ambiance.
Then I walked in.

I don’t have a coke problem. Seriously. I know a few people who tasted the fine powered nectar as it dripped down the back of their throat, but I have never tried it. That argument is getting harder and harder to sell to ear nose and throat docs treating me for seasonal allergies.

Years of sniffling, dripping and swollen sinus has left my nasal tissue as raw as… (insert dead musicians name here _______).

History nerds packed the lecture room of Huguenot Street’s Deyo Hall to learn about Ulster County’s ‘Missing Chapter: The untold story of African-Americans in the Hudson Valley.’
Traditionally I would turn my nose up at an invite to a lecture. As the child of an educator, I still vividly remember sitting in uncomfortable wooden desks while an unanimated professor droned on like Ben Stein about a topic I didn’t understand. Now that I’m an adult and a journalist to boot; I should be able to tolerate listening to someone sharing thoughts, facts and ideas on a subject they had researched.
Susan Stessin-Cohn proved me wrong and them some. She showed up with her ‘A’ game that included historical documents and photographs, but her most powerful weapon in her arsenal of knowledge? Passion and good story telling.

It’s probably because her sound effects come from another dimension, made by the characters in her art.

Finding the Ashokan Center is no small feat. If you’ve never been there before (and I hadn’t) the basic rule of thumb is this: just when you think you’re lost on Beaverkill Road in the Catskills… bam there it is!
