CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE CDs FOR THE HOLIDAYS PARTYSET FOR MONDAY DECEMBER 13th
UPDATED FRIDAY NOVEMBER 26, 2010

If you told me 4 months ago that I would be living in an unheated basement apartment in Jackson Heights, Queens today recovering from an operation instead of a 10th floor apartment in the East Village of Manhattan where I lived for 4 years, I would have thought you were off your rocker. But here we are! (Note: the apartment is unheated officially, but there are enough heat ducts ceiling of my bedroom for the apartment above to keep me warm as I work and sleep).

It seems that 2010 has certainly been a time of change - if for the better remains to be seen. But we're having our annual CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE CDs FOR THE HOLIDAYS as usual - because that's the kind of folks cabaret people are!

I have a lot of work to do to get things set for this year's event at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - ) on Monday, December 13th at 7:00 pm. First I need some more "kick-start" money to cover initial expenses. So once again we're offering SPONSORSHIPS.

Sponsorship units are $100 and include 1 free ticket to the show - plus your name and website URL will be mentioned in every promotional mailing we do for the show (you may remain anonymous if you wish)..

Next we need performers. I am happy to report that long time cabaret/piano bar performer Michael McAssey, who recently relocated back to the NYC area has agreed to serve as Musical Director for the event. I've known and loved this talented guy since even before CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE first started publishing.

Also, my pals from previous holiday shows, Sue Matsuki and Edd Clark will be back in their holiday finery (they're off this weekend to THE GARDENIA (7066 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA - 323-467-7444 ) to spread holiday cheer, by way of SUE & EDD'S FABULOUS CHRISTMAS show on Saturday, November 27th at 7:00 pm.

You should have a CD available (need not be holiday themed) and you'll need to sing two holiday songs! It's a fund raiser, so folks with a regular following/popularity will be given preference.
