Stop by the Library every second Saturday of the month at 12:00 pm to enjoy acoustic guitar music performed by local resident Andrew Baffi.
Andrew currently lives in Clinton Corners and has been playing the guitar for most of his life. His passion is for the classical guitar.
In 2021 Andrew created a YouTube channel that contains a video playlist of classical guitar compositions that he recorded initially in an effort to reach out to those in his local community who were homebound but the channel has grown and now includes subscribers from all around the world. He calls the playlist "Welcome to my Living Room" and he posts a new video each day.
Andrew mostly plays at his church Calvary Chapel of the Hudson Valley in Lagrange, in local libraries, in nursing homes, and at the senior friendship centers throughout the county.
