Nice to hear from you Elizabeth. I will be at the Jason Ricci gig  
Wednesday and hope to meet you. I will be at the Steve Guyer show  
tonite(Tuesday), also at Terra Blues. Thanks for the info and a big  
thanks to all of the Harp-l folk for responding to my original e-mail.  
A special thanks to Richard Hunter who suggested that I go to  
Lucille's in Times Square and was kind enough to contact Jon Paris for  
me.

I went down there last night and had a wonderful time listening to Jon  
and his excellent bassist and drummer. Jon got me onstage and we did a  
set of mostly Muddy Waters tunes. Then Jon took over the vocal mic  
again and I backed up on a few more tunes. The entire band was very  
kind, there were great people sitting in during the night and it was  
overall a very enjoyable experience. Jon has a regular Monday night at  
Lucille's so if you have a chance, go check him out.

Good luck all and thanks again,
Keith Dunn
