FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While at Boston's famous Beehive Nightclub one night was enjoying my dinner and the music when they announced that a young fellow Boston resident and her drummer where going to be taken the stage to do several songs before she moves onto New York to make it big. When the female singer got up to the stage I was allowed to stand right on the stage and started taken shots of her setting up and then singing. She announced that she was so nervous, that she could not even get the microphone stand to be at the right height. But when she sang she had one of the best rockin, blues voices I had ever heard. In this photo I was able to capture her really getting into her song, along with her drummer and one of house musicians. An old-fashioned dinner club, the Beehive is always buzzing, whether at its weekend jazz brunch or at night, when patrons crowd three deep around the bar, and there's live music with no cover. The entertainment is diverse�jazz one night, bossa nova the next, even burlesque and belly dancing on occasion�and paired with themed menus. The regular menu is a mishmash of Mediterranean/American/Central European standards, such as seared zaatar-spiced swordfish, Moroccan couscous with chicken and lamb, and mustard-and-herb-crusted roast rack of pork. It's all served up in a 200-year-old space beneath the Boston Center for the Arts (formerly a theater and boiler room) with exposed brick and beams across high ceilings. Many of the servers are local artists whose work is on the walls. Tables fill up after 8 pm, and the line begins to stretch outside. Go early or on a weeknight to snag a spot, or just head for the bar.
