I certainly wish PVC all the best luck in their new home. When I performed for them, with songwriter and labor organiser John O'Connor, PVC was in the Workman's Circle Building.

I'm not complaining about the move at all, I am sure PVC had good reasons to relocate. I know the Workman's Circle Bldg wasn't perfect, but I thought it was a great symbolic venue for PVC. My great grandfather, Meyer Strassman was very active in the Workman's Circle in the beginning of the 20th century. For me to sing there almost 100 years after my great grandfather came to America from Russia, was a real high point for me.

I do look forward to my next visit to PVC and congrats on the new home.
