Eric Andersen – Ossining Public Library – September 18, 2011
Venues for music come and go; happily, Ossining Library is becoming a more prominent player. This was our second visit this year, and there appears to be momentum to keep its live (and appealing) music series active, at least for the near future. Andersen was once nearly on a par with Dylan back in the Greenwich Village folkie days. He’s kept the singer-songwriter career going at a certain level of diminished glory, but the keeping-going part is good to know. His somewhat self-effacing and semi-audible-at-best stage patter made it difficult to appreciate the observations presented between songs. I really dug his song about busking in Europe.
