I am going to Austin for work on Sunday. (Sorry, Austin crew — no real time to socialize; the last two trips have been whirlwinds so I’m not even going to try and make plans…they inevitably go awry.)

Which means I don’t have to choose between two killer events on Sunday night in Worcester:

One — the mighty MOLLY MEACHAM will be at the Poets’ Asylum at Jumpin’ Juice and Java, 335 Chandler St, at 6:00 PM;

Two — the equally mighty YOMO TORO and FRANKIE MORALES are playing for free at the Latin Festival on the Common, 7:30-9:00.

I adore Yomo Toro, sometimes called the “Jimi Hendrix of the cuatro,” an instrument I’ve been fascinated with for more years than I can recall. And to see him with Morales and crew would be wonderful.

Here’s a clip from YouTube:

Ain’t he the coolest cat since sliced bread?

why I’m posting this…

In fact, it’s a very sad story. Be warned, those of a sensitive nature:; some of the comments people post here in response will likely seem, um, irreverent:

Several aborted fetuses refused to comment. (I warned you.)
