Curtis GO Brooklyn Editor They say time flies when you’re having fun and few have pro- vided Brooklyn with as much rollicking talent as the Good Cof- feehouse concert series in Park Slope, now celebrating three decades of bringing bluegrass, old-time, acoustic blues, world and folk music to the borough. According to co-curator Tina Aridas, this series, at 53 Prospect Park West at Second Street, is one of the few true coffeehouses left in New York, because over time the greats, like Gerdies Folk City and the Bot- tom Line, have closed. The 30th anniversary season kicks off on Fri- day, Sept. 17, with the Park Slope Old-Time & Bluegrass Jamboree, a two-day event that fea- tures a concert by Reams and his band The Barn- stormers (pictured), work- shops and jamming. Reams’ group was nom- inated last year by the International Bluegrass Music Association as Emerging Artist of the Year. Aridas and fellow curator James Reams have made this season extra special by augmenting their usual schedule of local talent with a “Trav- eling Troubadour Series,” which features many nationally known musi- cians, including country blues master Paul Geremia on Oct. 1. “This is a very special year for us,” said Aridas, listing more sched- uled troubadours: blues performers Corey Harris and Ernie Hawkins and old-time band, The Crooked Jades. Admission is $10-$15, $6 for children. Call (718) 768-2972.

A picture of carbon monoxide as it may appear in a typical home. Ahhh!

No matter what kind of heating fuel you use. And that’s dangerous. Carbon monoxide exposure can lead to coughing, headaches, dizziness, nausea, blurry vision and ringing in the ears. And in excessive amounts, it can be fatal. To safeguard your home, have your chimney and heating system The Center For Complementary Medicine checked regularly. And make all necessary repairs.
