SAD NEWS FROM RICKY RITZEL

I'm very sorry to report Spider Saloff's husband and record producer, Bob Drake, passed away early this morning at their home in Chicago. Bob founded Kopasthetics Records to record our show '1938' in 1989. Spider and I will be appearing at the MAC Awards Monday night and she will dedicate our performance to his memory. In spite of this tragedy, Spider will be doing her scheduled performances in New York in the next 2 weeks. She says Bob would have insisted upon it.
