Cohen the Violinist, 2012

The 2013 edition is HERE.

It's Labor Day weekend! Ms. Magic Meryle Cohen, Cohen the Violinist, published her annual celebration today. Here's this year's edition of her story (click on it to see it better, you might need to open it in another window if you have a low-resolution monitor).

I didn't make it over to see Magic Meryle this year. When some of my family were visiting, we were hoping to go to the Oceanside Sunset Market where she plays the first Thursday's of each month. (You should visit her yourself when you have the chance!) The problem was that they were going to be leaving early that Friday morning and we had had a rather busy week. They needed a rest so we stayed home to let them relax.

As she mentions in her story, I have uploaded several videos of her to YouTube. For your convenience, here they are.

I visited Magic Meryle at the Sunset Market and recorded a 20 minute performance of hers. Here it is in four segments.









Rosie O'Donnell had a show on OWN for a while. Rosie had a segment where she had a crew visit some of Rosie's fans. Magic Meryle was the first such fan segment shown on her show. I got an email from Magic Meryle telling me of her appearance but she didn't know when it would air. I managed to record her episode and get her a DVD of it. Here's her appearance on Rosie's show.


As I said, if you're ever in Oceanside on the first Thursday evening of the month you should stop by the Oceanside Sunset Market when Magic Meryle performs. She might not be there right at the start of the market. Give her time to show up. You'll be glad you did!
