Dear Mark, Thanks for the welcome--and the pretzel! I seem to be getting into a lot of trouble in other threads (!) so it's nice to (see) a non-confrontative voice! I saw Ellen McIlwaine a few times at the Main Point but I think I missed the duet with the fire siren--although I'm sure she out-sirened the siren! As far as Dave Herman is concerned, I live in NYC and I think he was on the air here a few years ago but I don't know where he is now...maybe he's still working here somewhere. I'll try to check that out for you. He did have some wonderful shows, huh?!
