["Todd Morman" <tmorman AT nc.rr.com>]

Just thought I'd mention the info Ross posted for Crowmeat Bob's Death Jazz
at Bickett is off by a week, according to a message I got today from
Crowmeat. He says the visitors from Japan and elsewhere are coming on the
25th, not the 18th. Here's the full info he sent today:

Wednesday, May 18, Bickett Gallery, 10 pm: Viroid Stew.
Or at least a variation thereof. We haven't reached Dave Mueller or Joel
Rhodes yet but we've got founding members Mike Isenberg on percussion, Phil
Martelli on electric bass, Neil Vendrick on computer, John Randall Pelosi on
soprano sax, Robert Pence on alto sax, bass clarinet, trombone, guitar.
This will be a quite reprehensible show.

Wednesday, May 25, Bickett Gallery, 9:30 pm showtime, donations requested:
very important folks from out of town (or, in one case, out of country).
Be there and nourish your capacity for enduring love in 2 sets of music:

1st set:
Katsuyuki Itakura - piano (Japan) http://www.j-music.com/itakura/
Michael Thomas Jackson - clarinet (Winston-Salem)

Brian Osborne - percussion (NYC)

2nd set: pulsoptional + crowmeat bob
You of course know pulsoptional as the Durham composers' collective
consisting primarily of Duke music grads. (http://www.pulsoptional.org/) We
will be improvising together.
Jennifer Fitzgerald - piano
marc faris - electric guitar
John Mayrose - classical guitar, electric bass
Tom Limbert - percussion
Todd Hershberger - bassoon, alto sax
Carrie Shull - oboe, english horn

That's all.
