I'd love to hear different things each week.
Bluegrass, jazz, rock, old-time music.
When I was at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville had a "Fridays After Five" concert series downtown. They were great. People hung out, ate, drank, and had a great time.

Reggae - there's nothing better on a mellow sunday afternoon

Have you been back? I was in the Dept. of Drama. CLAS 96

Dog Mom is right. Sunday afternoons are pretty slow in downtown Montclair in summer. This might really help.
Two interesting possibilities: Walleroo could be a guest conductor with DOT. And Red Cheetah could donate its deejays.

My best friend went to U VA. Of course he's about 35 years older than you kids.

Woops, meant to add that my vote goes for electronic trance music. Smooth out those alpha waves....

Dog Mom, I was a first-year woman the third year they accepted women - back in the 70's. I visited this fall, and could barely navigate around C'ville - it had grown so much.

Oh yes, and I was Katie Couric's editor at the Cavalier Daily her first year. Taught her everything she knows!

I always preferred the Cavalier Daily because it had the NY Times crossword.
I graduated a year before Tiki & Ronde Barber.

Just so long as it's at acceptable sound levels...
When the Siena had their "concert" you couldn't hear the phone INSIDE my Church Street studio.

My real alma mater is Montclair State, but my adopted alma mater is UVA (my dad is a graduate and we meet almost every year for a football game at Scott stadium). I dearly miss the 'ol Pep Band ...

They were yet another thing that made UVA unique. They just fit the university somehow. Perhaps it was the grand UVA football tradition (at least under George Welsh) of choking on a 30-zip lead, or the tradition of wearing flasks attached by garter belts to fool the "Bourbonator," but the motley Pep Band had personality.

I want to listen to me drinking free beer, tell Tom Lonergan to get that going too.

Sunday afternoon is the worst time to promote ( IMHO ) Church St. during the summer with music.
Take the lead from Cate, who has played there on either Fri. or Sat. nights, with huge crowds.
Sunday in the summer is for getting away.
Just my observation.
