Water Water Everywhere
Last year Hurricane Sandy hit where I live and work -- New York City -- devastating the whole North East. I was struck by what was right before my eyes. Water was everywhere, there were cars floating down the streets of lower Manhattan. Water brought the largest city in the USA to its knees. In June 2013 the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation invited me (with Joes Pub at The Public) to present a concert as part of the Marfa Dialogues/NY on Climate Change. Their invitation provided me an opportunity to start exploring the vast subject of water; I chose Handel’s Water Music Suite as my foundation.
