It was a delightful evening, and I did laugh myself silly, tho I laughed the hardest when-- as you led us inexorably toward that much anticipated punchline in Robert the Phoenix -that woman asked you for her ten dollar admission fee back. You could post the rest of your gigs here too, if you've a mind, or perhaps just an advert for a new agent. Blessings, Barbara |

Sigh.... And I suppose a house concert on the Big Island of Hawaii -- or even the fleshpots of Honolulu -- is out of the question. Aloha, Mark |
