Dear Listeners,

It’s winter break here in Vermont so my son and I have been out on the slopes every day. For many years I have stayed away from fast slidey sports because I was afraid of injuring my hands. If my hands don’t work, how do I make music? But among the many bits of advice I’ve gotten in my parenting journey, “be into what your kid is into” has been one of the best. My lad needed someone to ride the lifts with and I needed to overcome my fear and learn how to fall properly, so here I am.

I found that skiing is not all that different from rollerblading, which I learned to do in Central Park the summer of my junior year. I brought the skates with me on my year abroad in Florence. On weekends there was this amazing city to explore but buses and museums and cafes cost money. And whenever I roamed the quiet streets and parks alone, I would be perpetually harassed, groped and even flashed by pathetic men. But rollerblading was free and, bonus, I am already quite tall, so with skates I was at least 6ft2in. No one ever messed with me on skates. I adapted to the cobblestones and explored all of Florence with exhilarating freedom.

One Sunday, as I was enjoying the expanses of asphalt in Parco delle Cascine, I came upon a group of folks on old-school rollerskates. They had a boombox and were dancing, just like the skaters of Central Park but without the sequined hot pants. They waved me over and exclaimed over my weird skates. They invited me to join them and for the rest of the school year, I spent every Sunday afternoon I could with the rollerskaters. We would gather, dancing and skating around obstacles, and once we had critical mass, tear off along the Arno and into the old city. We’d skate past the David, circle the Piazza della Signoria multiple times and whizz down the marble collanade along the Piazza Republica, ending in a bar, still on skates, for an espresso or aperativo. Those are some of my best memories of my year in Florence.

I continued the skating when I moved to San Francisco, zooming most days through Golden Gate Park to the beach and back again. Sometimes I’d join a similar group of mad skaters on Friday nights to roll fearlessly down hills and through tunnels. Skating was always a great source of joy. But then I moved away from the paved environment of the city and I transitioned to music full time. After acquiring a broken finger from an Evil Door and being shocked at how much that tiny injury impacted my ability to play, I quit skating.

Fast forward to Vermont. Like many people did during the pandemic, I got back on skates except this time with padding, wrist guards and a helmet. And then, as my boy learned to snowboard, I learned to ski. We still ride the lifts together but now he zips down black diamond trails while I ski carefully down the easy ones. He is mystified as to how I can bear to do the same runs over and over but I like it that way. It’s like a meditation. I focus on perfecting my technique and try to make each turn better than the last. It feels similar to one of the things I enjoy about playing the cello, which is noticing tiny details and gradually polishing them. How can I improve this one phrase that I have played thousands of times? It never gets old or boring for me.

I hope it never gets boring for you either! Next week I’ll get back to work improving my old songs and figuring out to play some of my new ones in time for my concerts in March.

March 15 - ArtYard in Frenchtown,NJ

Thank you for listening and please wear a helmet when you are going fast.

Inside Harry's (Old) House

As some of you know, in July 2016, Harry bought a unit in a condo in Tribeca. It was widely reported because a) people thought that meant he was moving to NYC, b) other high-profile celebrities lived in the building. In the end, Harry was never photographed around the place, and it was rented out for other people during most of the time he owned it (a loss for NYC harries).

He finally sold his condo (443 Greenwich St. #3J) in August 2021. The move didn't surprise me. It's a beautiful place, but far from private. Fortunately for Harry, he was able to sell it with a considerable profit ($290,906!).

Photos from 2016, via Compass.

Size: 2,868 ft²

Bedrooms: 3

Bathrooms: 3.5

"Arrive via private key elevator and take in the massive great room, flooded with light from four west-facing, custom arched windows. Flawless, 8-inch white oak flooring runs underneath soaring 11-foot tall ceilings, accented by reclaimed wood beams and pillars. [...] Designed by Christopher Peacock, the space is lined with abundant custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, while the wet bar sits center stage in the massive Calacatta marble island supported by polished stainless steel legs. Private quarters are smartly placed along east-facing expanse of the home, capturing morning sunlight and stunning views of the building's leafy central courtyard. The master suite boasts an oversized walk-in plus a full wall of closets, while the palatial, spa-like master bath features Italian Calacatta marble slab walls, distinctive bronze and glass accents, a dual-faucet trough vanity and sculptural free-standing bathtub. Radiant heat flooring and a towel warmer complement the large walk-in steam shower with built-in stone benches. In each of the generously proportioned second and third bedrooms, you'll find large closets and equally well-appointed en suite bathrooms. A powder room and large laundry room with service entrance round out this premier home’s incredible floor plan." - Description from Compass.

The building also has a full-time doorman, a gym, and a pool.

Biggers’s third solo exhibition with the gallery, Meet Me on the Equinox features new works from the artist’s quilt-based Codex series, sculptural Chimera series, and a site-specific anamorphic drawing. A foray into the origin of myth and the malleability of historical narrative, the exhibition blurs the boundaries between seemingly disparate elements of Biggers’s practice as the convergence of pattern, material, and allegory sets the stage for the creation of novel, discordant, and subjective mythologies.

Cement Contractors Near Me

If you’re looking for a concrete contractor, get at least three in-person estimates. Pick contractors that have extensive experience, relevant concrete industry certifications and glowing client testimonials.

Residential concrete companies install and repair driveways, sidewalks, patios, porches and garage floors. They can also make decorative concrete. These companies can add tinted coloring, stamped patterns and unique designs to ordinary concrete.

Residential Concrete Companies

Residential concrete companies install new and repair old concrete in residential spaces. They can make concrete onsite using a bagged cement mix for smaller-scale projects, such as landings and walkways, or pour concrete from a truck for larger-scale jobs like foundations and slabs. They also have the expertise to choose the right concrete mix, to set up formwork and to follow proper curing methods.

Some concrete contractors offer decorative concrete services as well. They can stain concrete in earth tones or in vibrant colors, which can give your home a more unique look. These concrete contractors can also polish your existing concrete floors, install countertops in a kitchen or bathroom remodel and create backyard retaining walls and patios.

Find the best concrete company for your project by reviewing images of their work and asking questions. You should also verify that the company has the necessary insurance, licensing and certifications for your job. You can learn more about finding a qualified contractor on the BBB’s website.

Commercial Concrete Companies

Concrete contractors typically work on larger projects, including commercial and industrial buildings. They may also be involved in the construction and repair of concrete sidewalks, driveways, and road surfaces. A contractor may stay on a project through its entirety or subcontract a portion of the work to another party.

Many companies specialize in a specific type of concrete construction. For example, Suntec Concrete is one of the largest commercial concrete contractors, with a significant presence across the Southwest United States and offices in Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Texas. They describe themselves as a “full-service concrete construction company” that offers services such as preconstruction, concrete placement, pumping, foundation work, and facilities service.

A concrete contractor can also help rehabilitate existing concrete structures. A damaged section of concrete may need to be repaired using a process called concrete leveling, which involves drilling small holes into the top layer of the concrete and then injecting concrete to raise or lower it as needed.

Decorative Concrete Companies

Concrete is a very durable and economical material for floors, walls, patios & driveways. It can be formed into a wide variety of patterns and textures for aesthetic appeal or functional use. The surface can be stamped, etched, carved, grooved, drilled, scored, sandblasted or colored.

Residential concrete fabrication requires a lot of knowledge and experience. Knowing the right proportions of Portland cement, sand or aggregate and water for the specific project helps achieve a quality mix that is strong enough to handle the loads, allows for proper curing and drying without cracking and looks great when finished.

Decorative Concrete in Nyc provides cost effective alternatives to materials like wood, slate, granite, tile and marble. It is also much more durable against freezing and thawing, sand and salt damage, and is easier to maintain than many other types of flooring. Innovative options provide the design flexibility needed to satisfy performance goals while achieving your creative vision.

Concrete Repair Companies

Concrete is very durable, but it can crack, crumble or sink over time. Whether it’s caused by weather or poor construction, these problems need to be repaired quickly to keep the structure safe and prevent further damage.

There are many ways to repair concrete, and the best method depends on the severity of the cracks. For shallow, cosmetic cracks, a contractor can use filler or a skim coat to restore the concrete’s surface. This is usually a quicker and less expensive option than replacing the entire section of concrete.

A good concrete contractor will carefully evaluate the problem and choose a repair material that is right for the situation. Bagged concrete mix manufacturers like QUIKRETE offer repair products that are labeled for specific situations and designed with safety regulations in mind. Some products also include fibers or admixtures to improve strength and durability. These materials can help prevent chloride attack on the existing concrete and help the repair last longer.

They also use woods such as oak and mahogany as accent elements in these projects. These elements give art deco interiors a richly textured look that complements the sleek geometric forms so well. Art deco is an explosion of artistic creativity, style, and form. This is because art deco designers combined several different styles into one project. They also incorporated textured materials such as silk, leather, wood, and marble into their designs. One of the best ways to do art deco interior design is to use neutral or light hues in your space. You should also choose warm tones such as red, orange, and gold for accent elements.

This style works well in offices, restaurants, and even churches! Churches that want to update their look without radically changing it can do so by applying art deco interior design principles to their architecture. This includes using natural materials such as wood and marble for decorative elements such as pews and balconies. They can also add geometric elements such as curved ceilings or walls made from glass windows with elegant tracery inside them. All of these ideas help make art deco interior design practical for any religious space.
