"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"

... Berthold Auerbach


Blessings of summertime joy and love!
As Northeasterners this is our time to enjoy being outside as long as possible and convene with Mother Nature. Sensory pleasures abound as we soak up up every possible moment of green, green, everywhere... Fragrant sweet smelling flora, a gentle breeze blowing across our face... Skies are blue, nights are balmy, evening walks are blissful.
"Summertime... and the livin' is easy..."
Yes, the fish are jumpin' and the gas prices are high, we know - it's tough on many of us. So, what to do? Well, how about taking inventory of our priorities. What expands us? Contracts us? There are things we can cut back on and those we can not do without. They bring us joy, renew and refresh our minds and souls, are essential to our being and enable us to "keep on keepin' on"!
What feeds your soul and energizes your being? What brings joy, relaxation and reduces stress in your life? Questions well worth pondering. Choose wisely...
"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"
Hope to see you soon! We'd be happy to do a little dusting.



Sonny & Perley

VENUES, LISTED ALPHABETICALLY

A restoration triumph. Designed by the renowned Judd Brown.
Asters features a raw bar, wine room, fireside patio dining and Jazz Bar.
Friendly, efficient, attentive staff. Lovely atmosphere. Fabulous food. http://www.berkshiredining.net/

 

Albany's first lounge, blue 82 opened in May 2005 and has since become an award winning favorite.  Offering specials every night of the week, fresh sushi nightly, and according to Times Union readers the "Best Cocktails in the Capital District."
Very noisy, very popular happy hour; we play in the window area. There are some comfy chairs & a love seat to snuggle up in if you get there early enough.
Strictly for fun. No serious listening. Great sushi!
www.blue82albany.com

 

(Casual/funky). A sophisticated, “over the top” vision of the circus enlivens the dining and drinking experience with old-fashioned circus theme murals, lights that transform the walls from pale yellow to deep red, hand-blown Venetian chandeliers, and lush red and gold velvet curtains for privacy between tables. A colorful drink menu and wine list perfectly compliments the food and ambiance.
www.circuscafe.com

The closest thing to a Manhattan jazz club. Fabulous jazz themed Wren Panzella paintings in a nicely lit narrow dining room, one of the nicest sounding baby grands around (Sonny loves it --- Victoria always keeps it tuned). And speaking of Victoria... manager/hostess with the mostest, beautiful lady, heart & soul, Perley's soul-sista! The warmth in this acclaimed jazz room exudes from her & her very efficient staff. Definitely one of our favorite places to let loose!
www.justinsonlark.com

 

Seating options include high and traditional tables in the room that faces New Scotland Avenue, as well as bar seating a little beyond that room. A muted hallway takes you past the kitchen’s pickup window, past a baby grand piano and into another, tavern-like room with large windows opening on Ontario Street. Best seating to hear & see us is at the long table right in front of the piano. A list of 22 tapas dishes is priced from $4.50 for a serving of cured olives to $15 for an arrangement of cheese and pâté. Most popular is the pan-seared sea bass with polenta ($9).

Wine Down Lounge

Brand New room! Nice listening room with stage. Located in Schenctady's historic Stockade district. Sonny is booking the entertainment! The restaurant offers 16 wines by the glass, dinner entrees cost about $10 to $18 and include a duo of beef tenderloin and salmon croquette ($15.95) and Hawaiian-influenced lomi-lomi chicken with lavendar honey ($12.95).
www.winedownlounge.com

 



The only place we eat fried chicken! Please don't tell my doctor! Authentic and very unique. A raised stage and nicely lit dining room makes for great visability and good acoustics. Pictures of jazz greats adorn the walls along with unique African artwork. "Charlene" (our favorite waitress) and "Rosaria & Hector"(from Peru) add a special touch of warmth to this highly acclaimed dining room, celebrating 20 years in business! www.yvonnesoutherncuisine.com
