Do-Re-Me-Fa-So-La-Te-Don’t miss out on this weekend’s musical highlights.
Music sets the tone and can change one’s mood. It acts fast and without filters bringing more joy and light in our lives. There’s a lot of Jazz musicians and Jazz fans in New Hampshire. My goal in writing about John Coltrane and “Why Jazz is everywhere” was to elicit Ink Link readers’ own stories as to how they found their joy in this genre of music that continues to draw audiences nearly 100 years since it came on the scene.
Music has a unique way of setting the mood. A song can dictate the atmosphere or vibe of a specific setting, or it can fuel certain conversations. Jazz can be fitting for the serene feeling that comes with the autumn season. This is the creative nexus for the show “City Lights & Blue Lights,” which is being put on by the Symphony New Hampshire Jazz Quartet at The Rex Theatre in Manchester on November 6. The show starts at 7:30 p.m and it features a diverse set of music that’s both rhythmic and soulful.

Some kids are cruel. Others just… curious with a mean streak. I wasn’t evil—but wicked? Absolutely. Wickedness is disruption without a mission, a laugh aimed squarely at the wrong authority. This one’s about how one laugh, wrong‑time, wrong‑place, ended up being exactly right.
Ink Link has announced Manchester Senior Walks as far back as 2014. Eleven years! Enough for many new seniors. That may explain their popularity. On our walk, we had 142 seniors. Their record turn out was over 200.

After your candy rush find your way to some exhilarating live music and entertainment.
Decoration. It’s a word with the power to conjure everything from pretty surfaces to festive memories. A garland of ivy strung across the mantle for the holidays. The fading floral wallpaper in your grandmother’s house. Fairy lights adorning the boring, bare walls of your first apartment.
Jazz, Swing, Big Band Music. Here are two concerts coming up in early November right here in Manchester, and we’ve got some tickets to give away!
