The Center for Youth Services on Monroe Avenue provides counseling, shelter and education to homeless kids in the Rochester area. The late Chuck Cuminale (aka Colorblind James) worked there and it is only fitting that a tradition Chuck started twenty seven years ago would be now be a benefit for the Center. Hunu, with core members of the Colorblind James Experience hosts guests performing Bob Dylan songs on or near Bob Dylan’s birthday which was cosmically near Dylan-soul-mate Chuck’s own birthday. I had the pleasure of accompanying Peggi Fournier last night on a rousing version of “She Belongs To Me.” Russ Lunn caught the performance on his cellphone.
June 3rd Correction: I just learned that Saturday’s show was not a benefit. The proceeds from this show pay Hunu’s studio rental for the whole year and allows them to do the big benefit they do at Christmas for the Center.
