If you don’t know her name, allow MT to introduce you to this versatile performer. Barnett started performing at the age of 5, gained national exposure as the lead in the musical Always…Patsy Cline, and became an Opry member on November 2nd, 2021.
I’ve been a fan of John Pizzarelli since his “I Like Jersey Best” days. His latest release is Stage & Screen which includes the delightful, “I Love Betsy.”
Pizzarelli is an excellent guitarist, a delightful vocalist, and an insightful jazz ambassador. I’ve learned a lot about jazz and performance watching and listening to his videos and recordings.
God is love — an Easter reading from the first letter of John.
Perhaps Love — an Easter song from the second child of MT (Matt Glass).
“My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love.
This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him.
This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love!” — 1 John 4:7-12 [MSG]

The play features music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and is based on the 1980 hit movie about three female coworkers who concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical bigot they call their boss.
Can’t make it Thursday? No problem. Additional performances are scheduled Friday through Saturday, March 22-23, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 24, at 2 p.m. General admission is $10 with special $5 pricing for students and seniors.
What a wonderful day at OLA! MT plays while daughter KT and son RT lead the sing-a-long portion of the festivities (wife QT gets the photo credit). Seems even mother Mary applauds. Thank you and Merry Christmas to the Sisters and staff at Our Lady of Angels!
Jazz great, Dave Brubeck came to earth 103 years ago (December 6, 1920). He left us eleven years ago, just one day short of his 92nd birthday (December 5, 2012).
I met Brubeck in the late 90s while hosting “An Evening with…” benefit performance at Straight & Narrow in Paterson, NJ.
Invited by Executive Director, Rev. Norman O’Connor (aka: “the jazz priest”) Brubeck played an hour of solo piano, weaving stories and memories around the tunes.
Brubeck’s comments concerning his 1980 conversion to Catholicism stood out to me. Since he had no formal religion to leave, he didn’t consider himself a convert. “I just joined,” he said.
