Steve Martin & Steep Canyon Rangers Perform Bluegrass at Paul Revere House [Video]

Posted on Author Matt ContiComment(1)

By popular demand, I put together a couple more video clips from the Memorial Day music performance by Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. The surprise mini-concert happened right here in the North End at the Paul Revere House courtyard in North Square. Martin came up with the idea to perform his hit song, “Me and Paul Revere” at the historic, and most appropriate, site. In these next video clips, the band performs two more bluegrass songs.

“Greetings from Boston” Postcard Exhibition Now Open
Boston Public Library displays classic postcards

BOSTON — August 17, 2010 – Greetings from Boston is a new Boston Public Library exhibition of vintage postcards that colorfully captures the unique feel, important architecture, and cultural history of early twentieth-century Boston. The city’s thriving neighborhoods are on display, as is the story of America’s long-standing passion for postcards.
 
Souvenir picture postcards made their American debut in 1893. By the early 1900s, the United States was in the throes of a postcard craze. In 1908 alone, Americans mailed more than 677 million cards. These new cards generated immediate appeal as inexpensive keepsakes and an economical means of communication. Although the “Golden Age” of postcards ended with World War I, postcard collecting is still one of the most popular hobbies in the world.
