NYC: ALGONQUIN SALON THIS SUNDAY: "THE FIRST TIME!"

THIS SERIES IS A 2009 MAC AWARD NOMINEE
---------------
2009 MAC AWARD NOMINEE Mark Janas' Algonquin Salon usually takes place on Sunday nights from 7:00 to 10:00 pm in the lobby of THE ALGONQUIN HOTEL (59 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-419-9331). The Salon is a weekly event in which singers, writers and musicians share their talent with each other and audience members in the lobby of the Algonquin Hotel. Salon Secretary Peter Napolitano reports that on Sunday, April 26th, guest co-host will be singer/songwriter Hector Coris who will lean an evening of material which is some kind of "first" for each performer: the first time you're singing it, the first song you've written or ever sang in public, or a song from your first show. Or it could be material that reminds you of a real-life first experience - your first date, your first summer in NY, etc. Hector chose this theme because on May 5th he will be premiering his first solo cabaret show at Don't Tell Mama. Remember, any material, on or off-theme, is always welcome at the Algonquin Salon. There is no cover and no minimum.
