The band Roger and Lenny was accompanied by musicians Mark Yard and John Lynch at the next-to-last summer concert at Rudd Pond in Millerton on Friday, July 23. Local musician Roger Cohn is on the right with his musical partner Lenny Sutton on the left; in the back row to the left is Lynch while Yard is to the right. The performance drew a crowd of Tri-state music-lovers eager for a relaxing evening among the trees and later, the stars, with great tunes to accompany them. There’s only one concert remaining in the NorthEast-Millerton Library’s summer music series, set for Saturday, Aug. 13, at 6 p.m. with The Mia Brazilian Jazz Ensemble. The library has asked concert-goers to note the earlier start time, as visitors arriving before 6 p.m. will be charged a parking fee.
