UPCOMING PERFORMANCES, Fall 2000 (5761):
This page last revised 10/28/2000 Saturday.
Now working with The Ridge Street Gallery Group. Had a very successful performance on August 24th. Next performance is DECEMBER 4th, Monday, at Theater for the New City, First Avenue 9-10 Streets, Manhattan, New York, U.S.A. Admission probably FREE. Thank you. Be there or be square. Etc. Thanks to everybody . . . . . --AB2 . . . . :)
Performing under the stage name of AB2SOLOMON 8/13/00. I am at my son's house using his computer. I have not performed formally since January 16th of this year at the Sidewalk Cafe, but the good news is I made ten copies of the tape of this performance. If you or anyone knows of a good place where I could perform 5-6 times a year for a half an hour-- or could organize my own show with my act as a portion of it-- or if you would simply like to borrow the tape and see what I do-- or to see me perform at an open mike event-- just EMail me c/o BamaDolly@aol.com and we'll see what we can work out. Best, AB2.
02/19/2000 Saturday. Resigned this week from ORAL BARBACOA. Hope the performance last night went OK. HENZIE has also dropped out, she told me when I called them this week to tell them. I felt I and Doctor Thomas weren't getting enough--or any!--recognition, even to being allowed to turn up the lights briefly to photograph the bands. We did get a lot of video footage, but the pickings from our point of view were very slim. There are many other projects that can be more "profitable" for us. WE WEREN'T EVEN MENTIONED ON THE WEB SITE!
Not that they don't present great music, however! Don't get me wrong there. They just don't care about anything else, such as--ahem!--promotion of any kind except the nose-picking, egotistical type (that is severe--but it is the way it looks from here). This seemingly necessary obduracy is a pity, because they are a bunch of talented, accomplished, dedicated people.
JANUARY 16th, 2000 (5760), Sunday 9:00-9:30 p.m. ====SHARP==== at SIDEWALK CAFE. See Below for DIRECTIONS. See HILITES PAGE for postmortems.
