Rolie Polie Guacamole at PPL

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

 

 

Direct from Brooklyn, NY, it’s Rolie Polie Guacamole! at PPL during

February vacation

 

 

Providence Public Library is pleased to present a free

performance by Frank Gallo and Andrew Tuzhilin - Rolie Polie Guacamole -

on Wednesday, February 18 from 3:00 to 4:00 PM at the Rochambeau Branch

Library (708 Hope Street).

 

Frank Gallo and Andrew Tuzhilin have been taking Rolie Polie Guacamole

to different music festivals and concerts on the East Coast and in the

NYC area. Last year they opened The Green Meadow Festival for Tom

Chapin. They play private schools, other festivals, as well as doing

regular programs for public libraries in New York and Rhode Island.

Frank and Andrew moved to Brooklyn and decided to write their first

children’s album. It resulted in 11 original songs. They bring a fresh

new sound to kids music (Acoustic Folk Funk). The songs are well

written and thoughtful, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults.

A Discussion with David Strachman

 

Providence Public Library is pleased to welcome

Providence attorney David J. Strachman to the Rochambeau Branch Library

(708 Hope Street) on Monday, January 26 from 7:00 to 8:00 PM for a

state sponsors of terror such as Iran and Syria in U.S. courts.

 

Strachman is a Providence, Rhode Island, attorney noted for his

representation of terror victims in civil suits against terror entities.

He is a partner at McIntyre, Tate and Lynch in Providence and brought

the first civil suit under the Anti Terrorism Act of 1990. He has

litigated numerous cases against the PLO, Palestinian Authority, HAMAS,

Iran, Syria and the PKK in Rhode Island, New York and Washington. He is

an adjunct professor of law at Southern New England School of Law and

the author of the recently published Civil Terrorism Law (Lawyers and

Judges Publishing, 2008), the first book on civil terrorism litigation.
