Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Buzzing Around Town

Hello chrysanthemums!
I started the autumn season by purchasing chrysanthemums from Habig Garden Shop (54th and College) last week. Even though the temperature is still in the 90s, my porch is looking very autumnal. I don't want to rush the season too much, because there is still gobs of great outdoor music.

Daddy's Jacks

Oh my goodness, these guys are fun. They cover many of the classic "the" bands; The Beatles, The Band, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors....you get the picture. The Tempos shows I've seen are 85% rock and 15% comedy. In fact you may recognize some of them from their radio voices. Go - have fun, dance, and laugh. It will be good for your soul!



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.
