HOWDY NEIGHBORS! Bart Simpson had it right: "Halloween kicks Thanksgiving's Ass!" – actually, it kicks the butt of every other Holiday, with the possible exception of Chinese New Year! This week is going to be a very special HALLO-WEEKEND between Thursday and Saturday night, there are at least four big events that I want to tell you about, starting with a special concert hosted by STEVE ROSS at the NYPL. (That's on Thursday 10/30, and will be followed at Zeb's by CLIP JOINT: HALLOWEEN SPOOK-TACULAR! More info below.)
FOUR BIG EVENTS FOR HALLOWEEN! (only one of which is my own production, but I'm eagerly looking forward to all four!)
#1 FROM THE WONDERFUL MR. STEVE ROSS:
At the Bruno Walter auditorium at Lincoln Center on Thursday, Oct. 30th, 6PM – come to this AND THEN to CLIP JOINT:
TAP TOO AND HALLOW’EN…BOO! Songs about dancing from Broadway, Hollywood and Tin Pan Alley as well as some spooky treats.
