A block away from Union Square, Tony and Carl welcomed them into their penthouse which gathered an engaging crowd in a romantically lit space. It felt like a scene straight out of a New York City film noir piece.
They welcomed Rafael Torn, a percussionist currently performing in “The Lion King” on Broadway who shared stories about how he came to play such rhythms and why it is so close to his heart. Right after, Abbe Magid took to the stage dressed in a way that only the most elite of Brooklyn could pull off with grace. She shot her amazing voice through the crowd in a style all of her own.
Then they were off to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania where they were greeted by a crowd of eighty for the Columbus Day gathering. Caroline and Gary Smith opened their home and fed the community with beef roast and pies.
The musicians gave a few tours of their Airstream and recounted their experience of touring our factory. They were asked if they would be willing to trade the Airstream in for a bottle of wine and Jesse and James politely declined (Thanks guys!).
The show was a hit as people bobbed their heads and tapped their feet. Their special guest was the General Manager of Phillips Exotic Mushrooms, Jim Angelucci, who brought a display of a variety of mushrooms. He went into incredible detail about the rich properties and interesting growing styles of all the different types of mushrooms. Jim was so pleased with the event that he insisted in giving away mushrooms to whomever could answer his questions correctly.
