[NewMusic] WOW - This Friday @ 8pm

[DOUBLE VISION]

Damon,
Sorry to hear you had some problems in the past with Mary Alice.  I
certainly had no knowledge of this before sending to the list.  I just
thought it was a show worth mentioning because of the excellent performers
in the line-up; so that they could be supported as well as innovative sound
& performance in the bay area.

Thanks,
pauline

p.s. my apologies for sending this to the list - i didn't realize events had
to be posted on a separate list.
