It is really encouraging to see the publicity person working as hard as Steve does to get people out to hear folk music. Thanks Steve and Pinewoods. You are quite a valuable asset to folk music in the NYC area. Deb

09 Sep 01 - 11:56 AM (#545677) Subject: RE: DebC coming to NYC From: Suffet Yup. It's a cute little iMac, and it's sitting right next to my 5 year old Power Mac Performa 6200. With a little luck the printer will be delivered on Friday, at least 6 hours before your concert. If you know anything about these newfangled devices, maybe you can help me get everything hooked up right. For example, I understand it's possible to network the two units so I can transfer files from the old to the new. It would be especially helpful if I could transfer my Netscape address book and bookmark files. Meanwhile, I've gone through two StyleWriter printers with the old serial port hook-ups. My old Power Mac and Mac Notebook have only serial ports, so I need one of those old printers. I just bid for one on eBay. If my eBay bid is successful, I'll figure I'll be paying about $50, including shipping. I still like my old computer. But then I like my Smith Corona typewritter, my 3 Martin guitars, and my Vega 5 string banjo. You can touch 'em all. --- Steve |

13 Sep 01 - 06:29 PM (#549306) Subject: Concert to be rescheduled From: Suffet Notice to folks in the NYC area: The Debra Cowan concert scheduled for 9/14/01 in Brooklyn is canceled as Polytechnic University will be closed that evening. New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club will reschedule this event for later this school year if possible. Until then, we wish to thank Debra for offering to go ahead with the concert if at all possible. However, with the university closed, her generous offer is moot. --- Steve |

26 Feb 02 - 09:19 AM (#658161) Subject: RE: DebC coming to NYC From: DebC Well, Murray, considering that I try (emphasis on the word try) to make a living at what I do, I have to take the gig where there is pay vs the gig where there is none. NEFFA is wonderful and I always enjoy my time there, but it is a volunteer effort. If a job comes along that will assist me in paying my bills, that gets priority over something where the compensation is asthetic. But then again, Murray, knowing you as well as I do, I am suspecting that you posted the above as a pure wind-up. Hehehehehehe. Deb |
