A Gospel Night
In February, I performed at Ravenscourt Arts Theatre in an event called “A Gospel Night”. Also on the bill were Dimitri McIntosh, Mick Chwedziak and the Ravenscourt Arts Choir.
Yankees in January
The Yankees had a busy month in January and they managed to fill most of the most obvious gaps on their roster.
What’s coming up in 2014?
Thank you to everyone who visits and supports this site. We now get more visitors per day than ever before. We get twice as many visitors per day just reading old stuff as we used to get on the old site on a day when a new article went up.
So a couple of weeks into the New Year, what seems to be likely to appear here in 2014 and what else will I be involved in?
Yankees of 2013 – Part Four – The Current Roster – The Pitchers
And then to the fourth and final part of this survey with our overview of the men who might take the mound for the Yankees in 2014. Again, some old favourites, some trying to enhance their reputation and some new arrivals………
Yankees of 2013 – Part Three – The Current Roster – The Batters
And so we come to the third part of our survey and the offensive players who are currently on the 40-man roster……. those who have stayed, those who have arrived and those we might meet for the first time:
Yankees of 2013 – Where are they now? – Part Two – The Guys with the Arms
The Yankees have some crucial spots to fill in 2014 as their two leading pitchers retire and a number of others head elsewhere. Here we list all the arms who contributed, good or bad, in 2013:
The News is Very Fair and Good
What: Richard II by William Shakespeare
Where: Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon
When: November 2013
Richard II is not Shakespeare’s best known play. In fact, nobody I spoke to prior to seeing the current production could tell me the whole plot and storyline.
David Tennant is probably the UK’s best known Shakespearean actor. He has achieved this status not for his work on Shakespeare’s plays but because he is an extraordinarily well-known actor who also performs in Shakespeare. His fame comes primarily from his role as Dr Who – even within that role, within the last few days, he was voted the nation’s most popular Doctor.
Where Paradise Ain’t So Crowded……..
(A meditation on Mariano Rivera, Cooperstown and a tenuous link with Bruce Springsteen)
It’s June of 2011 and we’re sitting in a diner in Cooperstown, New York, waiting for our orders to be served when “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)” by Bruce Springsteen begins to play on the jukebox. Now this is a song I’ve listened to a thousand times but this afternoon, it seems so right and seems to capture exactly the spirit of our trip across New York State.
The Yankees in September – Part Two – On the Mound
The Yankees depended a lot upon their bullpen in 2013. One of the things that was surprising in September was that those who had performed so well until then began to fall apart but, thankfully, a new group of relief pitchers came up from the minors to take up the slack. Let’s see who benefitted from the roster expansion and who needed to be bailed out…..
