Beautiful music for lunch: I had the pleasure on Thursday, Aug. 9 of attending the noontime concert of classical guitarist Jason Vieaux at Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta, part of Salt Bay Chamberfest’s new Thursdays @ Noon series.

Paws for Thought

at

As I sit here staring at a blank screen, it occurs to me that I might need some help. I love animals; I could write about the antics of my doggo and kitty friends all day long, but that doesn’t mean you, as a reader, want to hear about them. So I’m asking for your help. I need some new ideas. Otherwise, you’ll be forced to hear about my cat and how cute she is for the 837th time. (To be fair, she is pretty darned cute; however, I may be biased.)

Low-key celeb in our midst: The list of musical artists that play an instrument designed by Nobleboro stringed-instrument designer extraordinaire Ned Steinberger is literally a who’s-who list of musical talents. Avant-garde legend Laurie Anderson, jazz musician Michal Urbaniak, bassist/cellist Tony Levin, South African bassist Bakithi Kumalo, and bassists Eric Mingus (son of Charles Mingus) and Jamaaladeen Tacuma are just several names on a fairly lengthy list (viewable at thinkns.com) of highly accomplished musicians who prefer Steinberger’s unique, finely crafted, headless electric instruments – violins, cellos, and basses, both bass guitars and uprights.
