Concert for Bob- May 24th SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

As we approach the merry month of May, many great living artists will be celebrated

on their birthdays. 

Should news of their birthdays start to 

"trend,"

many fans of said artists and writers and

Musicians will pay a simple tribute to 

their favorites by 

POSTING a picture or news report or a song for their

FOLLOWERS to enjoy. Yippie. 

Let's cut to the chase...that don't mean shit. 

Ya call that 'celebrating?'

And if I may be bold in saying, there is NO bigger artist on Earth

poised to experience one of life's special

milestones. 

"The greatest poet 

since Shakespeare to use the English language," as one of my friends likes to say,

will be turning 75 on May 24th. 

Imagine if Shakespeare's friends and colleagues 

took the time to celebrate his 50th turn

around the sun...what a blast they may have had!!

But that was 4 centuries ago. This is now.

We here in New York City have decided

that we won't let Bob Dylan's 75th birthday pass without

having a good bash. 

So for those who have been living under a stone, I will alert you to

the list of performers celebrating this 

May 24

in 

NYC:

Our fearless bandleader for the night

is 

Rob Stoner. 

With

Happy Traum

The Kennedys

George Gerdes

Terre Roche

Marc Jonson

Rod MacDonald

Mark Dann

Mike+Ruthy

And

Drummer

Luther Rix

There are about 65 seats left. Standing room/walk up sales

is pooh-poohed for this show. 

This is an invite to those who want to be at

The Village Underground 

at 

130 West 3rd Street

(the former site of Folk City)

to celebrate in style. 

As if

the list of performers celebrating 

the words and music of Bob Dylan

weren't enough,

what will make you wish you were there 

should be the news that 

SPECIAL GUESTS

scheduled to appear are

members of seminal Folk quartet

The New World Singers. 

That's right. 

Happy Traum will be camping out on stage

for the evening

and at some point,

Bob Cohen and 

Delores Dixon

shall join in and team up once again

54 YEARS since they recorded

"Blowin in the wind" for the 

VERY FIRST TIME. 

(that's right, not Bob)

Bob wrote it and handed it to Gil Turner who then

worked on it with his bandmates

with Bob's blessing. 

ADDITIONALLY

A very special guest is bound to appear

and will play on songs

that he helped arrange, record and perform with Dylan during 

The '60s. 

SSSHHHHH! It's a double-secret visit to Greenwich Village 

for this musician. Not fair to tell or guess!

You can't prepare for what's coming. 

You'll just have to be there to witness it. 

It's over the top COOL. 

PLEASE SECURE A SEAT.
