Is he willing to drive down the Henry Hudson Parkway into Riverdale in the Bronx? If so, let him try the monthly Riverdale Sing at the Riverdale Prebsyterian Church. It's a sing around rather than an open mike, but he will get a lot of prcatice just the same. I believe the next session is this coming Thursday night, Feb. 17th, starting at 7:30. For information have him e-mail Anne Price at: aeprice@aol.com
