Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands’ graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife’s grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They are guilt-stricken when this nearly breaks Ida’s heart. The Broadway production starred Eileen Heckart as Lucille and it was made into a film, starring Ellen Burstyn, Dianne Ladd, and Olympia Dukkakis.

Nero Simon and the Sunsetters are an American rock band formed in Atlanta, GA in 2021 by singer-songwriter Jorge “Nero” Simon. Blending styles of classic rock and 70s California folk, this 8-piece ensemble delivers a sun-drenched sound that invites you to discover a trove of original music filled with visions of sunsets, sand and surf. With the Sunsetters, Nero sought to angle Americana music in a different direction, embarking on a sound that doesn’t draw its breath from the heartland or the mountains, but instead is firmly rooted at sea level, pulsating from the coastlines, islands and keys of the American South. As one reviewer notes, the band’s music “takes a deeper dive into the Beach Boys’ more serious era, with none of their abstractions — a well interpreted soft-rock potpourri.” Another writes “Nero Simon and the Sunsetters cultivate a musical mood that breeds a desire for spontaneous adventure, aiming to tell stories through their music, harnessing a classic soft-rock sound for modern times.” The group’s energetic live show is best enjoyed with some salt and a wedge of lime as they deliver hot takes on their originals along with a variety of solid gold covers. When you spend an afternoon or evening with the Sunsetters, no matter where you are, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to paradise.
