In all the excitement of preparation for our first concert of the year, let's not forget that our December Salon is this Sunday, December 10... And as is fast becoming a highlight tradition of the NYCC's year, we again thank JOSEPH AND LINDA PEHRSON for agreeing to host our annual holiday bash. In the spirit of keeping things festive, *live* music and performance is strongly encouraged (although a CD player is on hand if needed). We'll be getting started at 3pm (not 2pm, as in prior meetings), at 484 West 43 Apartment #35 (10th Avenue, Manhattan Plaza). The most frequently asked question: "What should I bring?" Answer? From Joe himself: "We ask that people not bring anything. We will have everything necessary." Let's all get together and celebrate our first concert of the year and the coming holidays.

While you've got your calendar out, our next two salons will be January 21 and February 18, again at the Ellington Room, and again at 2pm. More to follow as we get closer to these dates. Thanks to GENE MCBRIDE for making the arrangements.
