I’m going to try to post as often as I can in July with quick or short impressions of the shows, as well as the recording sessions I have (one for Kino, one for ReelclassicDVD, and a few for AllDay Entertainment).

June 30 – a pretty full day. Had a piano tuning this morning (for The Fantasticks at the Snapple Theatre Center), then a screening at MoMA in the afternoon, and then was piano accompanist for musical comedy improv troupe “M.C. Hammerstein” for their show at The P.I.T. on West 29th Street.
Yesterday evening (June 29) I was interviewed by telephone by Donna Hill for her silent film podcast which will probably be posted this coming weekend. I’ll post a link when the show goes “live”. After that, just before going to bed, I sent out an e-blast with my summer schedule:
