On Christmas, Ms. Eartha Kitt passed away of colon cancer at 81 years old. She came from being born on a plantation in North, South Carolina to being a successful actress and sex symbol. I remember first seeing her as cat woman when the Adam West re-runs of Batman play on WPIX when I was a little girl and then in Boomerang when she told Eddie Murphy’s character, “I don’t have any panties on.” And that was just the tip of the iceberg with her career! You are definitely going to be missed, Ms. Kitt!

Last Tuesday night, I went to see a couple of my friends play their sets at Lit Lounge in the East Village. Lee Transue and Lisa Jaeggi are both great singers and guitar players, and very nice people. Another friend of mine, Tyler, sang background and bass guitar during Lee’s set. They both have MySpaces where you can hear their music: www.myspace.com/leetransue and www.myspace.com/lisajaeggi. Here are some photos of the night:

 

 

This was backstage while we were all sitting around waiting for nine o’clock to arrive. We were just goofing and catching up.

Cool Mr. T Mural!

 

Lee getting ready to play.

 

Tyler suited up to play along with Lee, though he had issues with the microphone throughout the set.

 

Friends from school came out to show support.

 

Here’s Lisa beginning her set. She had some very funny banter between her songs, especially when she talked about one of her songs being about being in a shitty bar like the one she played in that night and then joke more about how the owner worked hard for the bar the to look shitty. Nice.

 

Lee singing background on one of Lisa’s songs. I think it’s called “Waiting”.

Highlights of the night each set for me were “Talisman” by Lee and Tyler and “Can’t Spell Believe” by Lisa. I’m glad to know people who I truly believe have great talent and deserve to have a following. I thought I’d share my night good music made by friends. Please check out their websites, and listen to their music!
