some whispered news in darkness

So I'm watching U2 playing on Live8 right now and wondering why, oh why, the Caulfield Sisters aren't up on that stage.

But now I know: Mary is preggers! Yes indeed, a Caulfield Daughter or Son will be arriving in about two weeks. (If it's a daughter, will they name her Phoebe? Or Esme? Franny?)

Since even music must yield to parturition, the Sisters are on a break. But Cindy in all her Wheelerian splendor will be doing a solo show July 30 at Trash in Williamsburg.
