Middleburgh Acknowledges “Middle Child’s Day”
Since 2013, the International Middle Child has made it their mission to raise awareness of Middle Child’s Day. (Middle Child’s Day? There’s a Middle Child’s Day? Yes, there is. And it’s August 12th.) Apparently, they need to do more. So for 2017, the I.M.C.U. has created the Middle Child’s Day “Middle” Town Outreach program. “I’ve compiled a list of every town I could find with Middle in its name, and I’m reaching out to them for help,” says union boss, Bruce Hopman. “As our Middle Child-in-Chief would say, the goal is to make Middle Child’s Day great again.”
Hopman is asking “Middle” towns to issue a proclamation or formal announcement on August 12th in support of Middle Child’s Day. “If a “Middle” town can’t throw a little attention a Middle Child’s way, then we have no hope,” he says. He’s been in touch with “Middle” towns all across America, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and is generally encouraged by the reaction he’s receiving. “I mean, giving a Middle Child some attention isn’t as important to them as garbage collection, but what else is new?” The Village of Middleburgh is supporting the effort, issuing a proclamation.

Interview with Hub New Music
By Matthew Avitabile
This week we interview Michael Avitabile, a previously unknown relative of me (not my brother by the same name)! I didn’t realize it until we covered the Roxbury concert his group Hub New Music plays today Thursday, August 10th. He was kind enough to give us his time for this interview.
What are some of your biggest musical influences?
Discalimer: I listen to a lot of music and this list is definitely always growing and changing from day to day. In general, I think it's important for a musician to have a broad range of musical taste that spans outside his/her own genre. I can't exactly pinpoint how each artist has specifically influenced me or my group per say, but listening to music I like is an inspiring journey in itself. That said, I think it's important to go hear as many live concerts as possible - nothing can replace that visceral energy and feeling of community that comes from an exhilarating concert. Here are a few of my favorites.
Bjork
eighth blackbird
Florence and the Machine
Kurt Masur with the New York Philharmonic (I grew up on those recordings and they made me want to be a musician)
The Punch Brothers
The Goat Rodeo Sessions [album]
The Cranberries
Belcea String Quartet
A Far Cry
My Brightest Diamond
Bela Fleck
Lady Gaga
Favorite composers: Bach, Ravel, Stravinsky, Sarah Kirkland Snider, Julia Wolfe, Steve Reich, Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Philip Glass, Luciano Berio, Chris Cerrone, Robert Honstein, MIssy Mazzoli, Julia Wolfe, and any composer Hub is playing at the time.
How does it feel to play in the Catskills?
I've never actually spent anytime in the Catskills, so I'm very excited to be coming out for a concert. We're all in Boston, so it's always fun to get out of the city and go somewhere pretty - especially during the summer. With any city that Hub travels to, I'm always excited about the constant exchange of new things and ideas. For much of the music we play, the audiences haven't heard the pieces or may not even know the composers. It's always a treat to hear how audiences react to something they've never experienced before. On our end, a new city always means experiencing a new culture. Whether its a restaurant we go to, historic site we visit, or concert venue we play, it's always fun to be introduced to a new community even if it's only for a day or two.
Do you feel you play one genre or role or have a mix thereof?
Hub is definitely a classical music ensemble and we're all trained in that art. However, what's interesting about playing newer repertoire (all of the pieces we tour are written after 2000), is the diversity of influence in new music. We have composers who merge classical counterpoint with groove driven rhythms in pop music, or composers who use electronics, or test the limits of each individual instrument etc, and it's amazing how much that has opened my mind beyond what I was taught in school.
What is your favorite part of being involved with music?
So I have a bit of a round-about answer for this one. Outside of music, I'm a big food nerd and I absolutely adore that Netflix documentary series Chef's Table. One chef who I particularly admire is Dominque Crenn whose menus are these lyric poems that use food to tell a story. That whole concept was fascinating to me, and she always reiterated that coming into her restaurant was like coming into her home. There was something so powerful, warm, and deeply human about that, which immediately drew a comparison to music. As artists, regardless of the medium, I think its our job to connect with people and to make them feel something that transcends everyday life. In a way, a concert space is like a restaurant and the program is like a menu. The venue is essentially my home where I have opportunity to tell a story, to connect, and to take someone on a journey. That feeling of community building and of making people's lives better for a few hours is what makes me happiest about being a musician.

August Supper Club and other August events at Heather Ridge Farm
Preston Hollow, NY –
With the farm stands full of great produce, and the fields and forests ripe for foraging, the monthly Supper Club will celebrate the abundance of the season on Saturday, August 12. Supper Club, a five course tasting dinner at Heather Ridge Farm, starts at 7pm, and advance reservations are necessary. Reservations must be secured with a credit card, and cost $75 per person.
The dinners have been held once or twice a month all year. From June through September Supper Club dinners are held outdoors on the farm, weather permitting. In the cooler months, dinner is in the solar-powered 1820s farmhouse. Chef Rob Handel creates imaginative menus with the meat and poultry raised at Heather Ridge Farm, combined with items Rob had foraged, as well as produce and dairy products from other regional farms.
On Sunday, August 13, the Second Sunday Session will be held 12-2 hosted by fiddlers Hilary Schrauf and Bernie Neumann. The Second Sunday Session is an opportunity for traditional Irish, Old Time, Cape Breton, and Scottish musicians to get together and share a few tunes in a cozy atmosphere. Come out and join in a few tunes, or sit back and enjoy the music and good food!
The month ends with a Fried Chicken Picnic on Saturday August 26, starting at 6pm. The fried chicken is a culmination of a three day long process that starts with a koji marinade and wraps up with a dusting in chef Rob Handel’s secret blend of spices and gluten free flours. All are welcome but reservations are still appreciated. The picnic is served buffet style, with chicken being fried fresh continually until 8pm, accompanied by sides crafted from locally grown items.
Menus to be posted on www.heather-ridge-farm.com. Please call 518-239-6234 for reservations. In the farm store, fresh and frozen products of the farm are available at all events.
The Bees Knees Café and farm store at Heather Ridge Farm is located at 989 Broome Center Road, Preston Hollow, NY. 518-239-6234. The farm raises Animal Welfare Approved Certified Grassfed lamb and goat, pastured pork and eggs, as well as all grassfed beef and pastured poultry. The Café is open Thursday through Sunday in July and August for lunch and brunch from 11am-3pm, and weekends year-round. The farm store opens at 9am Thursday through Sunday with complementary coffee while you shop. Menus and a calendar of events are updated weekly on its website at www.heather-ridge-farm.com
