out to be a very challenging assignment because
the songs are so perfect just as they are," he says.
"It is hard to do something original without
doing something completely different."
For example; minimalist com-
poser Steve Reich tackled "Finish-
ing the Hat" from Sunday in the
Park with George. "You know right
off the bat that it is Reich, but the
melodic material is still there," he _
says. "David Rakowski had only
one song in mind, 'The Ladies who Lunch' from
Company. It Was not originally on my list, though
it is one of my favorite songs from the show. It is

Food sounds
Knock out two birds with one stone at these
places that offer bites with a side of music
"If music be the food of love, play on," Shake-
speare wrote, but why choose? You can enjoy
some great grub — from Cajun to home cookin' to
desserts — at any of these gay-friendly venues
that also feature live music. All are open daily with
food and performances going late.
All Good Cafe. This Deep Ellum eatery gets it
all right, from home cooking to a hip atmosphere to
a strong lineup of national acts. Owner Mike Sny-
der has bred his place as a music destination with
tasty food. Braised short ribs or the well-seasoned
rock 'n' roll pork chop are hard to pass up, but are
better when paired with the cafe's usual slate of
folk, country or rockabilly acts (queer trio Girlyman
has performed here). 2934 Main St. Kitchen open
til 9 p.m. weekends. AIIGoodCate.com.
The Free Man Cajun Cafe and Lounge. Soak
in the flavors of Louisiana at another Deep Ellum
spot. The menu runs from apps to entrees but
Cajun spices seep all the way through. Nosh on
Boudin balls or have a proper dinner with the
Cajun crawfish pasta. Do not pass over the cran-
berry wheat bread pudding, pictured below, while
catching local artists like out singer SuZanne Kim-
brell. 2626 Commerce St. Open til 1 a.m., 3 a.m.
Fridays. FreeManDallas.com.
House of Blues. The papa of all food-and-
music venues, HOB's rich menu includes burgers,
salads and their signature ribs. Don't let the large,
heavy menu deter you from enjoying a show from
the local house band in the restaurant, or walk
across the building to see smaller bands like Uh
Huh Her in the Cambridge Room, pictured above,
or headliners like Erasure in the big room. Tip: Get
your drinks from the restaurant bar. 2200 N. Lamar

as a piano solo. But he brought it to life bril-
liantly with all its bitterness and core of disap-
pointment — he gets there without the I vrio."
The program at the Modern will be held in the
intimate lecture hall at the mu-
seum — an ideal venue for a
piano recital. Shields-Collins
"Buddy" Bray, a fine pianist
himself, will serve as moderator,
initiating a discussion about the
pieces. De Mare will play about 13
of the 36 musical meditations commissioned, but
even he isn't quire sure which ones.
"I am still deciding," he says,
I vote for "I'm Still Here.'* ■

Opening Bell Coffee. Don't let the "coffee" part
fool you — this ain't Starbucks. Drinks range from
the obvious (latte!) to alcoholic, with food sticking
to the sandwich-and-soup variety, though the
sweet bites are awesome. The coffeehouse is a
cozy, comfortable spot to lounge on a sofa or take
up a tiny table for a romantic night out to see
acoustic LGBT acts such as Tom Goss and Steff
Mahan. 1409 S. Lamar St., Ste. 12 (at South Side
on Lamar). Open til midnight weekends. Opening-

Sundown at Granada. Although you can grab
a slice and a brew inside the
Granada Theater, hit up Sundown
next door first. Granada owner
Mike Schoder took ownership of
the old M Street Bar and turned it
into a complementary biergarten
and resto. With more than 60
beers available and a chef driven
menu focusing on local foods,
Sundown rocks it for pre-show
drinks and casual dining before
queer acts like Brandi Carlile and
CSS perform at the Granada.
