Middleburgh Library Notes for Wednesday, June 29, 2022
Rod MacDonald will perform on July 3 at 4 p.m. as part of our Not So Quiet Concert Series.
“Rod MacDonald is a brilliant folk singer and composer,” wrote the Press of Atlantic city. “His melodic songs possess words that go straight into your heart and soul.”
“MacDonald’s place in the folk hall of fame is assured by his ‘A Sailor’s Prayer,’ a hymn-styled tune that many people have mistaken for a traditional song,” says the All-Music Guide.
Although usually labeled a folk singer, his musical styles include rock, pop, country, light jazz, and blues. In addition to his work in Greenwich Village, he has written extensively of experiences on American Indian reservations and in Europe, living in Italy from 1989 to 1992.
Please call 518-827-4953 for reservations. Suggested donation is $15. A mask and proof of vaccination is required to attend.
Library closed
The library will be closed July 4 for the July 4th holiday.
