A good friend asked me to advertise this event:

“Warm up your soul with some jazz.
 Warm up your heart by supporting an excellent cause.
Sunday, October 2, 2011
 -- 5 to 7:30 p.m. 
Birdland 
315 West 44th St. 
New York, New York

Reserve your spot now for a delightful evening of jazz, refreshments and good company. Proceeds from this event will provide financial aid for students to receive award-winning training in creative musicianship at The Walden School in the summer of 2012.”

If you actually go to Birdland on October 2 I will buy you dinner later.

Just save your ticket and send it to me; and you will have the honor of spending an evening in my delightful company.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend on October 2, I will be on duty somewhere else, but keep in mind: if you want to change your life and spend an evening with me, just go to Birdland on October 2.
