The Star is about that private shameless moment of “what if,” guaranteed to follow disaster by minutes or years or a combination of both. This is probably a good time to mention that Saturday night’s show will feature a merch table selling Steely Ann bassist Craig Matarrese’s book on Hegel; Joe’s Garage pianist David Viscoli’s classical piano albums; Steely Ann pianist Larry McDonough’s jazz piano albums; my Doilies of Intolerance; and much much more.

STEELY ANN & JOE’S GARAGE Saturday April 13
Doors 7 p.m., show 7:30 p.m.
