This sad news greeted me yesterday...Dixie Carter, famous for playing wisecracking Southerner Julia Sugarbaker for seven years on "Designing Women," passed away at age 70. No cause of death has been reported.
One Night Only – Barbra Streisand And Quartet At The Village Vanguard –September 26, 2009 will be released on DVD and DVD/CD Combo Pack as well as Blu-Ray Disc by Columbia Records on May 4.
One Night Only covers the entire experience of Ms. Streisand’s first cabaret performance in 48 years.
The DVD immerses the home viewer in a tiny West Village nightclub, privy to the best sight lines and sound imaginable, to share an exclusive and intimate evening that prompted the New York Times to marvel, "...Ms. Streisand was booked for one night at the Vanguard — legal capacity 123, absurdly small for an artist who has sold over 71 million albums in the United States alone.... But outnumbering the boldface names were two busloads of ticket-lottery winners, ordinary fans from around the world. Some said they had never been able to afford a Streisand ticket before, but on this night they rubbed elbows with Oscar winners, The Secretary Of State and a former president...."

TRISTAN CLOPET
SIT ON
THE COUCH
The Toronto-born Clopet started his musical career playing gigs in New York. A summer at Berklee College in Boston convinced him that music was the only thing he ever wanted to do with his life, but not before having a Plan B.
He enrolled at the University of Miami and despite making the dean’s list at one of America’s best private universities, Tristan took a big leap of faith and made music his full time gig. "Why put my life on hold? Why do anything else if this is what I love to do and I think I can make a living at it too?"
Tristan will be sitting on The Couch with me and discussing PURPLE, his second EP, released in early January, a recent nine-city tour, and the continuation of his popular “Living Room Sessions” series, where each week Tristan records a cover of his favorite songs and posts it on his web site, YouTube and MySpace.
