From a Cincinnati Public Radio WVXU interview:
Patty Smyth & her band Scandal will appear on PNC Pavilion‘s stage with Rick Springfield and Greg Kihn on Friday, September 6th at 7:30 which also features a pre-show wine tasting.
Elaine began their conversation mentioning that she saw Patty (now 62)on tour with John Waite many years ago. They discussed the members of her band, multi-generational fans, and a new recording that’s coming out in January. Patty also mentioned that she calls New York City home with her kids and husband tennis legend John McEnroe.

Health care is a big business, and our system reimburses hospitals and health care workers for caring for the sickest people rather than healthiest ones. This process depletes healers’ energy and often causes them to become exhausted and sick. That means all of us who work in or study to work in health care are at risk. To break this vicious cycle, we need self-scrutiny and willingness to change.
Tissot consistently defied convention in both his professional and personal life. His contributions to the academy and the avant-garde are documented by participation at diverse venues such as the Paris Salon as well as London’s Royal Academy and the Grosvenor and Dudley Galleries.
