Oct. 25, 2001 – There might be more than music, art, wine, cheese, crackers and good company at this weekend's "Friday Night Alternative" in Red Hook.
At The Color of Joy, which hosts the weekly social get-together, owner Corinne Van Rensselaer has put out the word that if anyone would like to read poetry, there'll be a place for them in the proceedings.
Meantime, house keyboard and vocals artist "Mustang" Sally Smith anchors the music part, with guests all but guaranteed to sit in. "Alternative" music, by the way, should not be confused with "alternative music." Friday's offerings tend toward the traditional — jazz, standards, folk, reggae and, for sure, a little soft rock.
"Alternative" time is 6 to 8 p.m. on the Marlin Deck at American Yacht Harbor. For those heading to St. John at the end of the day, it's a convenient stop, just a few minutes' walk from the Red Hook ferry dock. For further information, call 775-4020.
