I hope you got to take part in yesterday’s cloudy and occasionally rainy Brooklyn Book Festival.  There were five music-related panels and I saw four of them.  And as you’ve probably already noticed, I’ve posted a photo of Rosanne Cash being interviewed on the BBF Main Stage.  Rosanne spoke about her memoir, Composed, as well as things like the first time she was mugged in NYC, her brain surgery, her next musical project (a trio album with Joe Henry and Billy Bragg), and things that she’ll probably do in the future (a Civil War album and another album based on the list of 100 songs her father gave to her when she was 18).  Rosanne spoke for about 40 minutes and was gracious, real and funny.  And if you don’t follow Rosanne on Twitter (@rosannnecash) you are missing something.
