Some Musicians

 Ridgefield's "Make Music Day" was fun.  I walked around to many outdoor venues in or near the downtown.  Performers were usually local people and many were quite good.  They had to compete with traffic noise, shoppers, talkers, and, in one case, with a long medley from church bells.

Paulina Romano is a student at a music college in Boston.  She plays an electric rock guitar.  Paulina drew an early performance time and an out-of-the-way location.  She deserved a bigger crowd.

AKA Nora is a hairdresser at a prominent Ridgefield studio.  For her set on the front lawn of the library, Nora dressed like a princess and performed Disney songs.  She has a good voice and stage presence.

Kate Nail sang and played the keyboard in front of the Town Hall.  She performed a lot in the 1990s in San Francisco with a cover band and now describes herself as "restarting her musical career here in Ridgefield."  (Sounds like there is a story here . . . )

Jennifer Dineen didn't perform, but she was the catalyst who organized Ridgefield's fifth annual Make Music Day for the local arts council.  After a 30 year corporate career with Procter & Gamble, Jennifer is now a realtor working in Connecticut and New York.

Jaime Babbitt has had a long career singing and playing the guitar.  She has toured with several well known artists, sung background vocals with Barbara Streisand and others, sung Off-Broadway, etc.  Jaime performed in front of Lounsbury House, Ridgefield's community center.
