Metrowest Book Discussion Group
Selection for August 18th will be: Breakfast with Buddha by Roland Merullo. We voted on this for our next read - everyone browsed Willow Bookstore after our discussion and came back to our table with their choice for next month's book. Two in the group came back with the same book, so that's the book we chose! Here's part of the Amazon review: "Otto Ringling is your typical American: upper middle class, happily married, one boy, one girl, one decent-paying job. House, picket fence, nine yards of the "whole" variety. But Otto's in store for an atypical ride when his "New Age" sister, Cecilia, asks that he allow a guru named Rinpoche to ride shotgun with him from Jersey to North Dakota. On the Road (sorry, Jack), we're treated to all manner of fun and games, both physical and verbal. If you like philosophy or religion, if you are middle-aged and have given any thought to that Mortality fellow creeping up behind you, or if you have ever asked the clich�d question, "What's the meaning of life, anyway?" then this is a book for you. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? I hope everyone in the group can make it next time...we had such an interesting discussion, and so many great points of view. Everyone contributed to the discussion, and I think everyone enjoyed. See you August 18th! Hope you enjoy the book :-) Roxy

Kallet, Epstein and Cicone
If you love folk music or just plain good music, do not miss this concert! Kallet, Epstein and Cicone have been performing together in concerts, coffeehouses and festivals since 1981. The trio performs music both a cappella and accompanied by guitar and hammered dulcimer, drawing their material from contemporary and traditional music of the British Isles and North America. By many accounts, this group is comprised of three of the finest folk singers of our generation, and they have performed to adoring (yes, adoring) audiences throughout the U.S. for many years. The Boston Globe's Scott Alarik has described them as "the best-kept secret in the New England folk scene," with "rich harmonies and inviting melodies," and the Boston Herald describes their music as "sheer beauty," and "technically elegant," that "summons up visions of a more simple, certain time." "Their work is a healthy mix of the heavenly and the earthbound," says Martha Waide, LITMA News. "Their heart-wrenching airs of beauty, love and loss are delicately balanced with gritty tunes of social or political concerns or songs of earthy everyday life." The South Acton Congregational Church's simple sanctuary, constructed by unemployed shipbuilders in the late 1800's, provides a perfect acoustic venue for this performance.

Church is handicapped accessible, with nearby parking. Appropriate for all ages.
