It has been a busy week at the Inn with Tony Bennett in town......rave reviews from our guests who saw him at Tanglewood Tuesday night. Tony is truly a legend and one truly cannot see him too many times in concert.
The Capitol Steps are always a delight. We were able to get away to Cranwell Thursday night and once again enjoy the political satire and their odd way of looking at the news. As they declare "When they hear of a scandal, they don't think about whether it is good or bad for the country. Their two questions are -is it funny and what rhymes with it?"

Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet at the Pillow
Last weekend, we had numerous guests attend the World Premier of Orbo Novo performed by the Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet at Jacob's Pillow. Their excitement upon their return to the inn was contagious. After listening to their rave reviews, I was able to nab a ticket for the Sunday afternoon [and final] performance [thank you Brian for "holding down the fort" :)] and was so thrilled I could attend. In my fourth row seat, I was spellbound. Choreographed by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the dance incorporates the words of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor from her original work MY STROKE OF INSIGHT, where she expresses her experience of having a stroke. The live music composed by Szymon Brzoska, played by the Mosiac String Quartet who are based in NYC and perform extensively for dance, only added to this unusual and powerful piece. It is a "must see"!
I might add we were thrilled to have Margaret Selby, CAMI Spectrum LLC, who did all the booking for the performace, as our guest at the Inn!

So much to do in the Berkshires and not enough time!
How wonderful the past two weekends to have a full house and it has been exciting to hear our guests' reviews of Prarie Home Companion at Tanglewood [Thank you Arlo for your guest appearance!] and Diane Krall's exceptional 4th of July "dry" concert! After all the rain, everyone was worried of a very wet evening but Mother Nature cooperated.
Our guests continue to be such a delight and a joy to meet. We have had folks from Germany and the UK in the past week as well as numerous towns in New England and San Francisco.
One of our guests' favorite pastimes is just tooling around the Tanglewood grounds during the afternoon listening to the BSO practice and taking in the gorgeous surroundings.....all free of charge!
Guests this week who have attended the EINSTEIN PROJECT have given it raves reviews [playing at the Berkshire Theater Festival until July 18 which is ideally located 3 minutes from the Inn].
The Georgia O'Keefe exhibit at The Clark in Williamston also has been popular and we hope to view it ourselves before its closing in September.
The Berkshire Bontanical Gardens continues to thrill all who visit. "Great Gardens of the Berkshires" tours are sure to delight. In July one can visit "Under the Hemlocks" on July 10
and "Good Dogs FArm" on July 24.
The sun, the sun where is the sun?! Since we have only lived in the Berkshires for 3 months, we are beginning to wonder but the locals assure us this is VERY unusual and we of course do believe them.......we think! Our garden continues to thrive with the wet weather but many of the annuals are just not willing to produce new blossoms without some warmth. We so enjoy using the 12 different herbs we grow in our morning breakfasts. Basil is the only one which is crying for some sun. We now have had 2 straight day of lovely sunshine...........hooray!
