Thread Name: Bob Franke at the Hurdy Gurdy in Paramus
Subject: RE: Bob Franke at the Hurdy Gurdy in Paramus
Sorry to keep refreshing, but I am really trying to help the Hurdy Gurdy get the word out.   

Our local newspaper, the Bergen Record,chose not to mention this concert in their weekend listings. The Record prints a lengthy section each Friday that lists concerts and events in the area which is dividided by genre. The "folk" section lists several other venues, including some concerts that are happening NEXT week as well as venues that are much further away, but for whatever reason they ignored our show.   We followed their procedures for submission of events.

Anyway, if you know people in the area - perhaps you could help by passing on the word. The Hurdy Gurdy is a not for profit club that exists to offer a stage to talented musicians. Bergen County has fewer venues that offer such music (which is one of the reason I am so bothered by the neglect of the BERGEN Record) and we need word of mouth help to promote our shows.

Thanks for reading my rambles!
