>Hi Kenny, Your fans from Long Island NY miss you. Yor haven't been scheduled at the
IMAC Center in Huntington,NY for some time. Every time I check yor concert schedule my
heart sinks when I see Long Island is omitted from your dates. Thirty-plus years ago when
I was in my 20's it was alot easier travelling the tri-state area to see you perform. These
days it's not that convenient. I've turned a lot of my friends on to your music and they
keep asking me "When are we going to see him in person?" I can't give them an answer.
Your peformances always left me feeling good and put a smile on my face when I left the
theater. Please don't cheat us out of the joy of seeing you perform. Even Micheal
Rothbard would like to welcome you back. Please come back. Rose from Long Island

Greetings Rose,
It was Mr. Rothbard who told me I would not be invited back to the IMAC.
The reason he gave was because I didn't want to break my concert into two sections, but
rather just play through for an hour and a half......maybe more.

He went on to explain, immediatly after the last time I played there, that the "committee"
had decided that "they needed that time to sell wine and cookies."
I'm serious......that's a direct quote.

I pointed out that the concert was sold out, and usually was when I played there.
That seemed to make no difference to him, and I have not been invited back since.

That's all the reason he gave me.
"Non Profit" orgs, like IMAC are strange that way sometimes.

Thanks for asking,
Kenny
