Happiest of holidays to all of you beautiful and talented readers. Thanks for making our community the best community! When you're making those New Year's resolutions, remember to add attending more live music and art events to your list - that's an easy promise to yourself to keep. I'm looking forward to a music-filled 2016 - and I promise to tell you about as much of it as I can.

Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
