The Phenom: last March, The Baseball Project promised to issue a monthly topical song about the 2010 baseball season.  July’s contribution, Phenom, is now out.  Steve Wynn wrote this month’s song, which is about the 21 year old Washington Nationals pitcher, Stephen Strasburg.  You can download your very own personal (and legal) copy here at Now I’ve Heard Everything.

The Old Timer: way back in the 1970s, David Bromberg wrote a song with George Harrison (The Hold Up), played with Bob Dylan, put out a bunch of albums and tour a lot.  He played bluegrass, blues, folk, jazz, country, and rock.  He changed careers and hasn’t been around for a while, but tonight, he and his quartet will be playing a free show in Manhattan’s Madison Square Park.  You can find the details over at Now I’ve Heard Everything.
