Just learning from Adam about the passing of Michael Feingold, who I have known since my press agent days when he was the highly influential and intellectual critic at the Village Voice. Sad to hear this, as I learned a lot from Michael, in print and in person.

Much 💕to all the artists, listeners, donors, supporters, and friends who joined us 54 Below last Sunday to commemorate 10 years of Playing on Air and wish founder Claudia Catania the best in her new adventures! Follow us on IG, FB, etc. as we create another incredible decade!
