I know Joy isn't shy, so I presume she won't mind that I mention that her other group, Water Sign, will be appearing at the Advent Lutheran Church in New York City on Friday evening, November 2, 2001, at 8 o'clock. I know that seems like a long way off, but it really isn't. Anyway, if you join New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club you can attend that concert for free. Otherwise the adult general admission is $13.

Advent Lutheran Church is located at the corner of Broadway and West 93rd Street on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. There's a wonderful Thai restaurant just one block north. Have dinner -- the coconut milk soup is magnificent, as are the spring rolls -- and then come hear Joy Bennett along with Steve Mayer, Ellen Weiss, and David Kleiman.
