Charlottesville: Reopened Rotunda & Gypsy Jazz

22/9/2016

2 Comments

 
After a two-year re-construction project, the University of Virginia’s architectural centerpiece and Thomas Jefferson brainchild The Rotunda, reopens this weekend and will be open on regular schedule Monday, September 26. The UNESCO World Heritage site is one of many things you can take in among the fall colors in Charlottesville.

I usually feature destinations outside the U.S., but as a UVA graduate, I couldn’t resist this one. In keeping with my musical theme, I’ll add that the Dave Matthew’s Band got its start here, and – shameless namedropping – I made the acquaintance of violinist Boyd Tinsley in my college days. I used to hang out at his fraternity, Sigma Nu, where he played in monthly coffee houses. I also once saw former Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen play blues at a local club; after his gig, he swung by Sigma Nu to jam with some of the best musicians at the coffee house. On another night, I also played a short set with some TKE fraternity brothers, so I can boast of having played the same stage as Tinsley and Kaukonen.

On a visit two years ago, I also stumbled on to a Gypsy Jazz night at the downtown C & O Restaurant. It’s still going on every Tuesday from 10:30/11:00 until around 1 with the Olivarez Trio. Their music covers Jango Reinhardt, East European styles and much more. See samples of a live performance and a Hungarian medley below. Their website is  http://rick-olivarez.squarespace.com/.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]
