If we are great, it is because we stand on the shoulders of Cardiacs.

Here is a lovely review of the benefit show.

We rocked ourselves silly for Tim Smith.

Yes we did.  ReCardiacs Fly was one of 6 artists and bands (Amy X Neuburg, Wiener Kids, Grex, Inner Ear Brigade, us, and the Dominique Leone ensemble) amassed for the occasion at Cafe du Nord.

This photo by Tom Djll too.

Our set was:
To Go Off And Things
Too Many Irons In the Fire
Hello Mr Sparrow
R.E.S.

It's the morning after!  The shadowy forces in charge of the benefit concert are counting the money raised for Mr. Smith's care.  The members of ReCardiacs Fly have reluctantly removed their makeup and unhyphenated their names from -Smith, and are waiting for the audio and video recordings to surface.

Interview with Erik Ehn about Cordelia

These are the playwright's thoughts presented with a slideshow of images from the play and a little bit of my flute music.

Amar's review of Cordelia

There are just three performances left - tonight, tomorrow, and Saturday.  Tickets can be ordered online from Brown Paper Tickets.

Here's Amar's review which I really like, especially the photos.  That's me with the bass flute and the hat on.

ReCardiacs Fly rehearsing

This is from our rehearsal on May 1st.  From left to right it's Suki O'Kane on the xylophone, Marc Laspina on guitar, Tim Walters on bass, an empty microphone where I would be standing, and Chris Broderick on sax.  Set up next to where I'm taking the picture is Amar Chaudhary on keyboard, and around the corner from Suki where you can't see him is Moe! Staiano, drummer and benefit concert ringleader!  We hope to play for lots of you on May 8th at the Cafe du Nord.

It'll be here before you know it!
