TGIF!
You’ve felt it, too. It’s that slight chill in the morning, the rustle of the leaves … fall is in the air. The nights are cooler, but the days still spectacular. Soak it all in and get out and enjoy this weekend.

Get your blues on
Jonny Lang, the blues prodigy who hit it big as a teen, is still going strong two decades later. Lang performs his songbook at The Palace Theatre, Greensburg Friday at 8 p.m.
According to his official website: “What began as a bluesy sound, influenced by electric pioneers like Albert Collins, B. B. King and Buddy Guy, evolved over those recordings into a modern R&B style closer to Stevie Wonder and contemporary gospel music. Lang’s distinctive, blues-inflected licks appeared on every album, but became one element in a sea of passionately sung and tightly arranged songs.”
And yes, we still call “Lie to Me” our favorite.
