Double-O-Sweetland reporting for duty from inside the walls of Kutsher’s Country Club in the Catskills… came down here to play some showcases at the North Eastern Regional Folk Alliance conference. What a crazy place! The Kutsher’s Hotel apparently had it’s heyday in the 60s as a superhip “Borscht belt” resort and is said to have been the inspiration for the movie Dirty Dancing. I believe it. Did some dancing myself… The craziest thing about Kutsher’s besides the hallways that go on and on in seemingly all directions forever (seriously à la Shining- I mean, I have dreams like this) is glory of the Stardust Room. Imagining all the big shows they had in there every night- Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and that whole crew- I had to creep in while quiet & empty to contemplate and take some sweet photos.
Saw first snow of the year too.

Sleepy.
