Opal Fly

"Friday is the Winter Solstice. What a joyous day to celebrate renewal!"

  Who else? Opal Fly.

  Friday night at the New Delhi Cafe, 6 p.m.

  Mary's looking forward to a laid-backward evening of new and old jazz, bluegrass, blues and something called H.E.M.P., which the Fly says "I'll need help belting this out -- a lovely throat-chakra cleaser."

  A notorious bi-saxual, Mary will also strap on a uke for Friday night's frolic, in "a non-smoking" environment.

  No cover. No more bad jokes.
