[78-L] OT: Earl Okin in NYC.

[Michael Biel]

I just talked to Earl this morning (Mon) and agreed that the Friday show
would be best for us.  He'll be doing a full hour show, while most of
the others will be short appearances.  So, if anyone cares to join us,
drop us a line either on or off list.  Dave Weiner already expressed
interest (before the day was decided) and hopefully we can get a few
more to join us.  We'll discuss meeting points later on.  

And don't forget he will be on Joey Reynolds radio program at 1 AM
tonight.  Much of the Eastern U.S. should be able to get it at 710 on
A.M. and I think it also streams.

In the mean time, I'm also all over YouTube and my first instrument 
is probably the piano, by the way...

Taylor, if you know any bookers, I'd be delighted to come to that 
city of coffee! ;-)

All the best and now for the final bit of packing and panicking!

Earl.

PS I don't know how, if and when I will be able to respond to e-mail 
while in NYC, but that 'phone number at the hotel will get me. So, 
leave a message for me there. Thanks! ;-)
