Caffè Lena In the News
sarah craig leads caffe lena – part 1 of 2
NIPPERTOWN (Michael Hochanadel) — For Sarah Craig, learning to lead Caffe Lena, the legacy-rich Saratoga Springs listening room and American roots music shrine, meant learning to listen. She also made peace with a ghost and shared a love of music with her deaf dad.
Craig’s father’s Depression-era training at the Rhode Island School for the Deaf included music appreciation classes. “Music class was a bright spot for my father,” said Craig. “Tuning into vibrations, he could feel drum beats. (Students) placed hands on the piano to feel the pulse of the soundboard.” Craig said, “He loved music; he took it very seriously.” Depression-frugal, her father splurged on Hartford Symphony concerts, a piano and a stereo for his wife.
