Laurel,

As you have known me for almost 20 (!) years, you will also know that I had never ever heard of a First Night until I moved to New England.

I have always pretty much stayed at home on new Year's Eve, mainly for safety's sake. This year, I agreed to be involved in First Night Boston with five other musicians.

I am looking forward to it. From what I have heard it should be great fun.
