New York is lovely at this time of year, ain't it?

Now, besides the New York activities at Mercury Lounge, the Alphabet Opry,
etc. , any New Yorker suffering from The Problem should be aware that the
quickest treatment is to click onto www.twangfest.com and get yourself an
airplane ticket for this year's 3-day Twangfest in St Louis, June 10-12.
Several of the NY P2ers will be there and we can wash your beleaguered
soul clean of the slings and arrows of twanglessness (or something...).

Consult with some of your NY Twangers, such as Barry Mazor, and give it a
whirl.

Hi--

   I'm a like-minded New Yorker who lurks in Digest mode 
(thus the late reply).  I have sometimes had to descend 
to treating my friends to twang-type shows just to have 
someone to go hear live music with; usually I give up and 
go alone.  Since I live in the Bronx and have to get 
myself back up there on public transportation after the 
show, this position has its drawbacks.  But sad as it is, 
has its moments; I will always treasure the memory of the 
looks of pure horror on the faces of a group of friends 
when I asked if anyone wanted to go hear Ricky Skaggs.
   Anyway, can I join the gang for Kelly Willis, too?  I 
would love to meet some people who don't always ask 
"who?" when I mention the music I listen to.

Well, NYC folks, it's starting to sound like we might just have a quorum
for the Saturday night Kelly Willis show. Should we plan a pre-show drink
in the Mercury Lounge bar? I'll be husband-less that evening, I think, and
I'd love to have the company of some like-minded female New Yorkers as well
as the always-reliable male P2 contingent.
