1) tour diary
Happy November, one and all! We were lucky enough to be on the road in New
England through much of October -- such a beautiful time to be there! We had
the good fortune to play with both Cadence Carroll at the Towne Crier, and
Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams at Bodles Opera House. We
love
the magic of collaborating on stage with our friends, and we look forward to
more such collaborations in November, when we'll be sharing the stage with
Nanci
Griffith and Julie Gold in Boston, Gandalf Murphy et. al. in Philadelphia,
and others. We're also proud to announce that we'll be touring entire U.S.
early
2004. Be sure to check our website http://www.kennedysmusic.com for
future
dates!
2) UPDATE ON THE BOTTOM LINE
Last month, we told you about the Bottom Line Cabaret in lower Manhattan
facing eviction by NYU. Since that time, Sirius Satellite Radio, Bruce
Springsteen
and others have pledged money to help pay the Bottom Line's back rent -- they
fell behind after September 11, 2001, like so many other businesses below
14th street -- and to help fund the rent increase of over 200% imposed by NYU.
The Bottom Line still does not have enough money to go back to the negotiating
table, and time is running out. As of today, The Bottom Line has, at the most,
three weeks to come up with the money for back rent, future rent increase, and
mandatory upgrades. The judge may rule before that time is up, so they need
your help TODAY! You can help by writing letters to NYU and to media outlets,
but most urgently, The Bottom Line can use your monetary support. Please go to
www.Savethebottomline.com. You can also listen to our musical plea in the
song "SaveTheBottomLine.com," available as an MP3 by visiting our web site:
www.kennedysmusic.com. We thank you from the bottom lines of our hearts!
