Free Ink "San Francisco Song Cycle" convenes at the Noe Valley Ministry on Saturday, Aug. 15, for a special double-CD release party. For the past 18 months, the series, run by Tom Erikson, has featured more than 30 songwriters talking about and demonstrating their craft. Erikson is releasing a double CD of songs culled from dozens of performances and a few live-in-the-studio recordings. See the Night + Day box on Page 22 for more information. (J.D.P.)
