DON’T MISS CONVICTION’S DEBUT AT KOSHER BBQ FEST — I had a great time at last year’s Kansas City Kosher BBQ Competition & Festival and I’m looking forward to attending the second edition of this event on Sunday on the grounds of The Temple, Congregation B’nai Jehudah. One of the band’s providing the entertainment is Conviction, a group of local Jewish Kansas Citians who play music on the side. They play tunes by such greats as the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton. Drummer Larry Bell is a Kansas City native, who owns BostonBookeeping Service. Harmonica and bass guitar player Steve Greenberg is another Kansas City native who was recently mentioned in The Chronicle as the Maccabbiah gold-medal winner in the pole vault back in 1977. Greenberg is in the credit card processing business. The lead guitarist is Dr. Steve Rosenberg, who practices physical and rehabilitation medicine. The keyboard/ukulele player and singer is Dr. Reva Friedman, a tenured professor of education at the University of Kansas. Last but not least is Vic Bergman, guitarist and lead singer, who is a trial lawyer at Shamberg Johnson & Bergman. Check them out on Sunday at 2 p.m. I hear they are good!
