Our final SUNDAY SALON of the 2010-2011 season is June 26 at 2pm at RICHARD BROOKS's house in Brooklyn, 252 DeKalb Avenue. Assuming nice weather, this will be a year-end picnic with food and drink available. Please RSVP to 718-398-3579 or capstonerecords@earthlink.net
As for directions, Richard writes, "252 DeKalb Avenue is between Vanderbilt Avenue and Clinton Avenue in Clinton Hill. The closest subway stop is Clinton-Washington on the G line. Take the A train (or C) to Hoyt-Schermerhorn (3rd stop in Brooklyn), cross the platform for the G to Queens and go 2 stops to Clinton-Washington. When you exit the train turn right, go to the last staircase up to the mezzanine level. Go through the turnstile and turn right for the stairs to the street. You will end up at the corner of Lafayette and Clinton. Turn left, crossing Lafayette and walk one block on Clinton (notice the nice architecture, too!) and turn left onto Dekalb. The house is the next to the last on the left hand side of Dekalb. Go up the stoop and ring the bottom bell (press hard as it sometimes doesn't ring clearly).

You might have already received this email from JACOB GOODMAN, but in case you didn't, he writes: "I don't know whether you saw the op-ed piece in the Sunday (June 12) NY Times editorial section by someone complaining that the Vanderbilt University radio station has been sold to public radio, and that the rock music he was used to hearing has been replaced by
classical music. My rejoinder appears in today's (June 14) Times, in the Letters to the Editor column. If you want to look at it and don't have the print edition, you can find it on the Web, at http://www.nytimes.com/pages/opinion/index.html.
Just scroll to the bottom and click on "Letter: Classical Music Radio."

Hope you can stop by! It's a lovely spot in the park, and should be a pleasant way to spend some time in Central Park on the first day of summer."
