Today’s edition of Red Bank oRBit follows up Monday’s Martin Short interview
with a virtual visit to Roger McGuinn, the founder of The Byrds and Rock and
Roll Hall of Famer whose mastery of traditional folk music is matched only
by his enthusiastic embrace of high-tech DIY technology.
He’ll be appearing
with fellow folkie John Sebastian this weekend at Monmouth University, and
oRBit caught him in a gruff-but-lovable mood at the outset of his current
tour.
Also on tap: a reminder that DonovanÂ’s Reef, that Last-of-the-Mohicans
Monmouth County beach bar, returns for the 2009 season this week following
an unusual winter hibernation and a little “soft” opening this weekend past.
We’re staking out a towel’s worth of oceanfront real estate and saving it
for you, only in Red Bank oRBit.
