down memory lane

last night i went to the jewish music cafe. blue fringe performed. i think that they were one of the best groups ive seen perform there. their music reached deep into my soul. and i cant say that about much of the music ive seen performed there. but im not trying to gripe. ive always liked attending the music events there because they remind me of my junior high and high school days. the bands are predominantly comprised of young men who are y. u. types. the audience is a mix of yeshivish and more modern orthodox types, heavier on the modern orthodox types. it reminds me of a more relaxed point in my life before the new york religious idiosyncrasies blackened my spirit.
