Vincent Cross, The Life & Times of James "The Rooster" Corcoran: Friday, November 16th; 7-9pm A performance of new & traditional broadside ballads about the 19th Century IrishAmerican gang leader & squatter colony chief. Known for his "caustic tongue and ready wit," he was often stereotyped tabloid fodder for the newspapers of the 1800s. If you've ever seen the movie Gangs of New York, then this would be a musical accompaniment to the rogues, pimps, murderers, and thieves that inhabited New York City in the 19th century. At and consposored with the Good Coffeehouse at the Old Stone House, 336 Third Street in J.J. Byrne Park, between 4th & 5th Ave., Brooklyn 11215; 7187865400; www.vincentcross.com.

Byrne Park, between 4th & 5th Avenues, Brooklyn 11215; $10 contribution. Info: fbanjo[at]aol.com. Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1UxthNr Geoff Kaufman: Concert, Friday, November 30th, 7:30pm; Workshop, Saturday., December 1st, 2-4pm Geoff sings songs of the sea, songs of the earth, songs of the heart and the spirit. Ancient ballads, work songs, and songs of love; poignant songs of people in struggle, humorous glimpses of human foibles, and insights into history — all of these are likely to be woven into Geoff's work. Above all, at the core of Geoff's performance is his rich tenor voice and an exuberant love of singing. And part of that love is to entice audiences to sing along, to share in the exhilaration of fullthroated vocalization if they wish. In this age of electronic overload and passive media pablum, Geoff likes to stress the "live" in live performance, promoting participation, be it by voice or heart or mind. Concert 7:30pm at OSA Hall, 220 East 23rd St, Manhattan. Contribution: $25 general public, $20 members, $15 fulltime student/child. Tickets at the door. Workshop (Saturday): Exploring the African/African American roots of sea chanteys. Building upon the recent publication of Gibb Schreffler’s book Boxing the Compass, Geoff will delve into the idea that the singing of chanteys on deep water ships developed from black sailors bringing aboard their tradition of call and response music. At Pearl Studios, 519 Eighth Ave, Room H, Manhattan, between 35th & 36th Sts. Contribution: general public $15, members $12. Reservations required, contact Heather at 6466284604, [email protected]

She also holds Masters and Doctoral degrees from NYU. This summer, Harvey Cort was a gracious (although reluctant) host to a pigeon. Beaky CortLipman, a goodlooking chick, was hatched on Harvey’s terrace in July and finally left in late September. We witnessed the takeoff, a Hitchcockesque event where about a dozen pigeons lined up on the terrace railing with Beaky, who then flew away. The others lingered, evidently eyeing the accommodations. We informed them that this is NOT an “Air” bnb! If you have news to share, contact me at 372 Central Park West; #15B, New York, NY 10025; 2126636309, ruthlipman(at)msn.com
