"I was in the house when the house burned down" is a thought sure to happen to many a concert attendee after a performance by legendary French bassist Joëlle Léandre. She is a force of nature, a demanding and uninhibited artist. In her presence, a listener can feel the combustion generated by her performances. The same can be said of Austrian Elisabeth Harnik, twenty years Leandre's junior. In recent years, there has been a small explosion of music from the pianist from solo performances to collaborations with the likes of Ken Vandermark, Steve Swell, Dave Rempis, Mikolaj Trzaska and many others. Then there is Slovenian drummer and contemporary of Leandre, Zlatko Kaućić. His sound can be heard in the Amsterdam scene, Italy, Spain and his home country.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

Age ain’t nothing but a number—just ask Bob Dylan and Elvin Bishop. Universally regarded among the greatest songwriters of all time, Dylan has never had to grasp for relevance throughout his 60-year career. Bishop also came by his place in the blues pantheon honestly, getting his start in 1963 as the Butterfield Blues Band’s lead guitarist. When the two share a stage, you can expect magic to happen. And “magic” is the best way to describe the legends’ recent duet.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
