While I’m on the subject of gig reminders, don’t forget
Hi Peeps, this is the second show in the series. It will be bigger and better, with pretty girls and handsome boys singing great songs that I’ve produced and arranged over the past 35 years. Cancel your Saturday night plans and come and see us. You’ll still get home in time for Mad TV (funny how those initials keep coming up).

Just the ghost of a story…
Another New Yorker with Bowie connections playing locally soon is SpookyGhost, aka guitarist Gerry Leonard. Gerry plays two gigs at the Living Room, in New York City this month, here’s a message from the
Greeting to all Spooky Warriors. We must fortify ourselves for the coming winter, stay up late and contemplate where the year has gone, amazed by all that has happened and not happened.
As I always say, a lot can happen in a short space of time, but some times it takes a long time for a little to happen, and you can’t have everything, sure wherewould you put it all …someone call 911…Anyhow that’s my plan, oh yeah and also to play two Tuesday nights from 10pm till late.
Here is the scoop…
SpookyGhost – Tuesday December 10th – 10pm till late – The Living Room, NYC. Shawn Pelton Drums, Mark Plati Bass. And, Tuesday December 17th – 10pm till late – also at The Living Room, NYC. With Doug Yowell Drums and Paul Bryan Bass.
I am excited to have these great musicians on both nights. I am almost embarrassed to say that I will have CDs at the gigs. Yes “The Light Machine” is done (the printer was being a space cadet) It could be time to cash in those tokens…
To all who live away from NYC I am planning to do an East coast / West coast run next year with the band, perhaps we’ll see more of you all then. All the best – Mr Ghostly.
Don’t forget to send our love if you go to either of the TV or Spooky gigs, and try and persuade the mean buggers to play over here in Europe sometime soon! };-)
