Regina Ress, a wonderful storyteller, and I will be appearing at the Provincetown Playhouse in the Village Friday, Feb. 15 at 8 PM. Located at 133 MacDougal, corner of Bleecker, follow link below for tickets. We are celebrating the release of Regina’s CD, New York and Me. I provide music in between each story. I will be working with guitarist Billy Stein. We really look forward to seeing you in this special performance at such an historical theater (watch out for the ghosts of Edna St. Vincent Millay and Paul Robeson).
