Here's a fun one our last gig at Lunatico in Brooklyn called "Up There in the Woods". Dedicated one of my many heroes, the great Jim Hall. It's always a wonder-filled adventure to be able make music with Jacob Sacks and Thomas Morgan.

The additional cost? More than a $Billion.

Grateful to @NydiaVelazquez, @GowanusCAG & @voiceofgowanus for raising concerns that initiated IG report.

[Jo Anne Simon 文雅麗 🟧 @JoAnneSimonBK52]

@EPA IG's Gowanus report confirms community's concerns. NYC DEP dragged its feet building the CSO tanks set to be done by 2022. New date is 2029.

Result: "toxic sewage is still being dumped into already-cleaned parts of the canal during heavy rains" https://t.co/LgoDytGPT8
