The Boston Globe: Vintage Planes, Pet Fest, and an Ode to a Turtle

MAYNARD Forty years ago, Steve Forbert made his way to New York City from his Meridian, Miss., birthplace in quest of a career in music. After busking on the street for change, Fobert rose to headlining at the club CBGB and recording 18 studio albums. The author and musician will discuss his new memoir, “Big City Cat: My Life in Folk Rock,” at the Maynard Public Library, 77 Nason St., on Thursday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m. Visit maynardpubliclibrary.org.
