Member - National Digital Press Association • P.O. Box 5099 • Sarasota, FL 34277 • (941) 227-1080 WELCOME A looming deal for prime property in downtown Sarasota, digging into the details of the latest city charter proposal and a review of some of the bons mots, if you will, of a former Republican con- gressman headed to town as a guest of the local party: That’s just a glimpse of this week’s lineup. And while I normally am loathe to put myself in the spotlight, I could not help but think this week of much beloved Miami Her- ald columnist and author Carl Hiaasen. I believe he has talked on more than a few occasions about the vast fodder of material Florida serves up to inspire his literary creations — words along the lines of “You can’t make this stuff up.” That is how I felt when I was working on my big story for this week. Regular readers know I began writing last sum- mer about a Sarasota chiropractor who became the object of Sarasota County legal action over a house he rents to visitors on Siesta Key. It is a long and complicated story. I believe Hiaasen could not help but love the twists and turns in it, including the latest ones, which involve a Sheriff’s Office investigation into rental fraud. If we had twice the number of staff, it is doubt- ful we could uncover all the facets of this tale. On the lighter side, not only do we have Asso- ciate Editor Cooper Levey-Baker’s aforemen- tioned article on that upcoming Republican event, but also a lovely review of Sarasota Ballet’s latest program by Elinor Rogosin and Norman Schimmel’s survey of “Moving Day” for the Baltimore Orioles. Enjoy!

Recognized for his sharp wit and poetic sensibility, he has been called “a rare breed” by the Austin Chronicle--a musician’s musician who is respected for his highly original writing and loved for his captivating performances. Since the release of his Red House debut Instead the Forest Rose to Sing, he has emerged from the underground music scene to become one of America’s most significant songwriters. The album garnered rave reviews and charted for months on folk and Americana radio, making No Depression’s “Best of 2009” list and becoming the #2 most played folk album that year. Now, with the release of his new album, Danny confirms that he is “one of the great singer- songwriters of his generation” (Heaven Magazine). On Man of Many Moons, Danny returns to a purely acoustic sound, bringing us an album that is truly stripped down to the songs themselves. “The vision for the production was to try and allow the songs the breath and space to remain simple and intimate,” he says. “It’s, for the most part, me and my guitar and the songs.

Troubadour Concerts Resume Friday We’re Back in the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship on Sept. 3 After 18 months of hiatus, the lights will be back on at the Troubadour Acoustic Concert series, resuming an otherwise almost continuous 47-year history of presenting concerts and Open stages. It will be a welcome event for the whole crew of the Troubadour as well as the throngs who will attend the opening concert with Mike Agranoff and the Annie Donahue Trio on September 3. It will largely be a continuation of our pre-COVID operation, but there will be some changes. In recogni- tion of the tail end of the Pandemic, we will be requiring the wearing of face coverings inside the building. And to further ensure everyone’s safety, we will be limiting attendance to only those who have been fully vaccinated. We will be checking proof of vaccination at the door. (Please don’t assume this is only a formality. No proof, no admission.) These restrictions will be amended over time as COVID conditions and the directives of medical authorities change. There will be some positive changes as well. We will also be resuming live-streaming our con- certs that ended with the demise of Concert Window in September of 2019.
