Sad Boston-area news: the passing of Cambridge storyteller Brother Blue
from The Boston Globe
(Cambridge Community Television press release):
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of storyteller Dr. Hugh Hill, known as Brother Blue. Brother Blue, perhaps the original performance artist, has entertained generations of children and adults with his tales, often accompanied by tambourine and foot stomping. He is survived by his wife, Ruth Hill; together they produced hundreds of hours of storytelling in CCTV’s studio, on Cambridge Community Radio, and BeLive.
CCTV will show a retrospective of Brother Blue’s programs in December.

Happy Hollows at T.T. The Bear’s Place, Cambridge MA, Oct. 18, 2009
Sarah Negahdari, Chris Hernandez, and Charles Mahoney of The Happy Hollows
Toward the end of my ‘Silverlake East Coast Revue’, there was this marvelous miracle of an appearance by highly regarded (and rightly justified!) eastside L.A. band, The Happy Hollows, at our lovely little dive, T.T. The Bear’s Place in Central Square. I don’t know how on earth they got plunked onto a bill that sandwiched them between two swampy Southern rock bands, but bless all the pagan gods that they did. [as Sarah said to me afterward, "we were the odd ducks in the middle". Odd and immensely talented ducks, I'd say!] (more…)
