Shimon, both Michoeli and Chana are on vacation - go easy. And Yossi, well, don’t expect him to post anytime soon.
Here's what’s happening (And soon to happen). I went to LA last week where I played the Duchman/Altein wedding. Got into a fight with the party planner by the name of L.R. Doubt she'd recommend me anytime soon. She didn’t like my response to her directive at the Chupah, 'Play now', to wish I responded 'When it’s the correct and appropriate time to play, I'll be sure to start'. She threw up her arms in disgust and in a bitchy LA twang screamed, 'who’s this guy?!' This set the tone the tone for a fun evening. I was very impressed with Mendel Duchman. He runs this wonderful children’s' minyan - I was blown away. I stayed at my good friends the Maryles's. I met a wonderful and delightful woman by the name of Pepper Jay. She doesn't believe that NASA actually landed on the moon. Interestingly, she had never read Deception Point. I sent her a copy as soon as I retuned to NY. 'Twas a very interesting evening. The Lubavitch Shul in LA sucks big time. It's a bad imitation of 770 on a bad day. Not a soul greeted me. (Probably because I wasn't sporting a nose ring and a Rastafarian hairdo).
I am producing my first show. On March 10 R.C.C.S. is sponsoring an evening of 'Erev Chabad'. A concert of Chabad music introduced by speakers and such. I'm bringing in a violin player from Israel, Mordechai Brodsky. We're renting a Baby Grand, which will be played by Gershon Wachtel. An upright bass player and a drummer will accompany. Should be fun. Wish me luck.
Oh, today I received the invitation to the CIC dinner, which I hope to attend. I'll post a full report on these pages afterward. (Shimon, can I take pictures?).
