Marc Cohn @ The City Winery, 2012 Jan 26
{This has apparently been sitting in my Drafts folder for four years. Oops. I never finished it, so it ends abruptly. -=-BLG} It’s been a while (a real long while) since I’ve gotten to a Marc Cohn show, but this one was worth it. He played the City Winery, which is an odd hybrid of…
