I went to see Bernardo at The Rock Shop on Friday. The show was awesome.
However I was in the back – where the sound is best – and had a couple of people talking in front of me, talking non-stop, their backs to the music. Normally I would tell them to shut up or move, but I am trying to better, kinder version of myself and so employed a different method. I used the flash on my phone. 
And it worked, sort of; they hated it – ducking and turning away and stopped for a moment. 
But then, after I had done it twice, they went back to talking. 
The show still rocked.

Bernardo at Hank’s Saloon in Brooklyn
Bernardo played its first-ever gig at Hank’s Saloon in Brooklyn last night, thanks in part to Bill Murray on a bicycle.

Lead man, Mike Deminico, walked into the bar a couple of weeks back, inquiring into playing at the venue, and received an indifferent response and email address. Somewhat miffed, Deminico considered abandoning the enterprise when Bill Murray bicycled past and returned Deminico’s greeting. 
His resolve buoyed, Deminico got in touch with the manager and was on stage shortly thereafter.

The music of Bernardo is an unadulterated pleasure, straight ahead and wildly fun; the short 35-minute set was simply not enough. Deminico promises more in the months ahead.
